Share This
Comrade Shoyinka Olatunbosun Dasilva popularly Known as Olori Odo is the Assistant secretary of the All progressive Congress (APC) in Lagos Island Local Government, the freedom fighter and former chairman of Lagos Island packing Authority Board (LIPAB)  speak with senior political correspondents, why he decamped to the progressives factional group of the state chairman of the National Union of Road and Transport Workers (NURTW) ALHAJI TAJUDEEN AGBEDE and other issue, Excerpts.

Recently it was posted on your Facebook wall and other social media platforms that you have decamped to the progressive group of Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede who is the Lagos state chairman of the NURTW, can you tell us what lead to that action, was it a mere deceit as we normally here it or you were force to decamped or was it a your heart desire?

 No, No,No and no, I repeat capital NO, I am not force to decamped, i did it intentionally and it's not a deceit, if it has to do with deceit you won't read it on my facebook wall like you rightly said, to God be the glory it's is an eyesaw the way Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede is leading the NURTW in Lagos state, I am very comfortable and impressed because most of our political boys on the island have been neglected by the government of the day, they are jobless and no body is catering for them as they all have family members but this man took the bull by the horn to carry every one of them along in his administration and with that it reduce the burden on the government and drastically reduce social violence on the street, in my life, I av never taught that NURTW can have a good leader like this humble, gentle and visionary man called Agbede that is the reason why I decided to give him my support so that Lagos NURTW can move forward because Itesiwaju Eko lojemi logun, meaning,i am an advocate of good Lagos.

Who were the people that motivated the journey to be a smooth one?

You see in life you must believe in your self and have faith with God, I have many friends who are into NURTW job who are also a politician like me, most time when will meet on occasion or political settings they ask of what do I do for my daily bread and I used to tell them that I work with Lagos Island local government as a political officer holder where I was given the approval of local government revenue collector to take care of followers but they insisted that I need be among the NURTW because am a strong man in my community, to cut the long story short they are comrade Kunle Lawal a.k.a Poly, comrade Femi Jaypron, comrade Ademola Taiwo Emir Ciroma, comrade Hammed White and Comrade Muri Epo respectively.

You have not tell us while the main reason why you left the former camp?

See you journalist don't put words into my mouth, I have not tell you  that I belong to any camp before, the bitter truth is that Alhaji Mustapha Sego, Mc Musiliu Oluomo, Sule kudeleti, Kunle Poly, Ademola Taiwo, Femi jaypron, Hammed White and others are my good friends up till today, but during the restoration of the 2nd term in office of Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede as the state chairman when some of my friends worked against and led to crisis on the Island and I said to my self that I won't contribute to the downfall of the man and I stay away from the movement but people taught am in support of Sego, do you known that Sego is still my good friend.

 Now you are now in the right channel if I get you right, what do you stand to gain after this struggle because you are like a big fish in that camp, hope you will not be use and dump?

Lol. Well am not forcing him to secure me a job, but if there is any opportunity from Agbede to take care of my followers, I will collect it, but all I known is that, the Agbede that we are all taking about will never let me regret supporting him.

I won't let you go without asking you this question, Aside you, how many of you are in the progressives group from Lagos Island and what is your present relationship with others and how are you sure that their won't be rivalry clash between you in the future, all in the name of sharing Formula?

Well! When we get to the river we shall no how to cross it. More so God will lead me true on that question.

How can you access the performance of the Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede as the NURTW chairman since he assumed office in the last one year.

 Hey! As a good Christian, the truth must be told, the man has done massively well in Lagos NURTW, he has really brought the change we clamour for because gone are the days when NURTW members are like thugs but now you can see many graduate among them like Ademola Taiwo, Kunle Poly an ND holder but few to mention,I give kudos to the man called Agbede.

But there is the rumour in town that Agbede is not a Loyal member of you party APC where you happens to be the Assistant Secretary of your local Government, what is your reaction to that?

What a blatant lie, don't mind those people saying that rubbish, it's a rumour, I was among the campaign team that visited him before the elections in his office where he treated us to fullest, he gave us money, banners and T-shirt for the campaign and we all voted APC to win in 2015.

Finally, if you are opportune to be among his close ally or kitchen cabinet what new concept would do you like to sell or share with him that would bring peace, sanity and improvement to the union?

Thank you my able journalist, If given the opportunity to serve under him as one of his close associate or a branch chairman, i will like to tell him that he should work closely with the ministry of transport so that all drivers and conductors in Lagos state will be in uniform as we av in NURTW, Creat a Lawman department in all our garages and any garage found dirty should be fine with the sum of hundred thousand Naira,our garage attendant should stop holding cane or stick to collect money from the conductors,how can you want to collect money from me and still hold cane no, I wont give you,we have people calling for the scribe of NURTW, it is impossible, I am opportune to travel round the world, transport agency do exist there and no body is calling for their scrap because it was well manage, so I want him to take us to that level. international practices, In fact, my brother I av a lot in me but I don't want all to be published on the face of newspaper or in the media. In fact, if he invite me for a meeting I will not esitate to surrender all to him because I love his leadership style.
