To God be the Glory great things he has done.

I am eternally grateul to God Almighty for His love, care and protection.

Today *9th of March* marks exactly a year I was on the ballot as *Candidate of Zenith Labour Party* to the State House of Assembly, Owo Constituency I.

My journey into the stream of politics which started in 2017 but was envisioned in 2011 led me to my open declaration on February 20th, 2018 after my Birthday Thanksgiving service at Cathedral Church of St Andrew Imola Owo.

I was borne out of passion to salvage my great kingdom through better representation and true dividends of democracy and this trait shows forth during my campaign across the length and breadth of my constituency.

My anchor is to lead as many as possible youths into governance and elective position, and this mandate will not go unfulfilled until it is actualised and properly achieved.

I sincerely want to appreciate my great party *The Zenith Labour Party (ZLP)* for believing in me and my candidature by the privilege to flag the party in that contest, the confidence reposed in me was worthwhile and also cherished.

I sincerely want to appreciate *Owo is One Movement* for exposing my candidature at the well organized debates held in Owo in 2019, it was on the note that my candidature is none to be compared with, when it comes to Competence, Courage, and Compassion; alas, the rest was history at the poll because of intimidation and thuggery exercise.

I sincerely want to appreciate the *Entire Youth of Owo* for trusting me in all ramification, I put it to you that your moral and financial support kept me going and it was the actual fact and my conviction that never make me compromise your belief while they wanted to induce me to step aside from the race.

The youths gave us *courage and confidence* even when I and my esteem supporters were been intimidated before the poll and the said date.

To you all I say thank you, May God bless you and enrich you all for your sincerity.

Today I look back and I celebrate God's mercy and protection over my life and my esteem supporters.

To my wonderful *Owo Constituency I*, thanks for the wide reception and love shown, I am hopeful I shall come back strong and sincerely make a delivery.

To *Owo Local Government Area Student Union* where I was made and boosted, Eghen sere oooo, Thanks also for the award of *Young Political ICON* bestowed on me last year December, I will forever cherish your sincere support  and always give back to the institution at a beck of call, I hope I represented you all well as a good ambassador in the race, I shall do more  God's willing in the next opportunity.

Today remain significant in my life as a young man, My promise to my great supporters was to ensure I give them privilege of having the franchise for us at the poll and which I ensured even while it was tough, rough and looks impossible in the sight of men.

I remain focus on my priority as a grassroots young politician to continue to encourage the masses in ensuring we are all emancipated.

On this note, to ensure I work assiduously in ensuring the masses have their say in governance, *I Ayokunle Oluwaseun Ajike-Adedeji* hopefully relinquish my membership from the Great Zenith Labour Party of Nigeria forthwith.

As I take this bold step again of my relinquishment, I equally announce to the entire world and my great admirer, that I hereby affirm my intention of joining a political movement not a party called *Grassroots Progressive Network*.

Once again, Thanks to you all and my great people of Owo Kingdom.

Eghen se oooo, Eghen se oooo, Eghen se ooo.

May Owo continue to shine.

Long live our kings.

Signed:
Ayokunle Ajike-Adedeji
*Affable*
2019 Candidate To State House of Assembly, Owo Constituency I.

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann
