is constituted out of the past. The months of May and June brought about such reminiscing in the very sad events of the demise of Professor Ayo Banjo, followed almost immediately in June by that of my formidable foe and later lifelong friend, late Femi Oladele Lucas Falana .
My encounters with these figures, and with many others, contributed immensely to how I would perceive my professional future.
The conversation was around the need to focus commitment to a university development while abjuring an adversarial unionism for unionism’s sake. Hence, the key stakeholders at the university level were resolved to facilitate the emergence of a consensus candidate for the SUG presidency and a successor to Bayo Olowo-Ake. After some rigorous interviews and consultation, I emerged as consensus candidate out of many.
Being a critical player, and given my erstwhile position as a consensus candidate, I was prevailed upon to weigh in as part of the team to restore order when it became clear that Femi had taken the entire student body for a ride. I thought it fit to reach out to the student union parliament as well as the SUG president in the eye of the storm so we can work out a damage control protocol. Unfortunately, my peace gestures were spurned by the president.
