Pade Okunola Asks Osun State People To Terminate Cooperation With Oppression Creating Poverty

ILE-IFE, Nigeria - May 26, 2018 - PRLog -- Accord Party Gubernatorial aspirant Pade Okunola appeals for the support of everyone in Osun State to join the revolution to remove the oppressive mindset which allows for the entrenchment of poverty in the state. He insists that Osun people are traditionally progressive people in every area of human endeavor. In the past, this cultural heritage ensured that Osun State enjoyed a first-class economy. They have always been proud contributors on the national stage. Therefore, it is depressing that they will allow this strange phenomenon of non-payment of workers' salaries to become a way of life. It may be trendy elsewhere; it is indeed not a right way of life that we must reject with every pint of energy in our veins. Okunola appeals for physical, mental and financial support from every layer of Osun community to end this nightmare that beginning to define our lifestyle.

Okunola insists that Osun people are industrious farmers, respectable intellectuals, shrewd business leaders, and excellent merchants who had always been at the forefront of progress in Nigeria. He claims that the current poor performance in every area of life today due to the decimation of their appetite for competition by hunger, and a need to cope with family demands. Deprivation permeates every aspect of life because there is no exchange of currency taking place in the economy (https://youtu.be/L8Pbpc0c490). Traditional consumers continue to be denied their purchasing power and have no hope or alternative sources of income to meet their obligations when workers remain unpaid. Unfortunately, the people of Osun State appear to have come to accept this as a way of life, and this hurts. Okunola says, "That this is not acceptable. If it is not done anywhere else in the world, then, we should not accept to be denied our wages." (https://www.gofundme.com/padeforgovernor)

Julius Olapade Okunola is a Modakeke, Ife-born Industrialist, and a farmer in Osun State. He is the President of Onward Shipping and Clearing Services, Dallas, Texas; Rapha Agro-Allied Industries, Osogbo; and JRapha Foods, Osogbo, Osun State of Nigeria. Okunola is a founding member of the social-philanthropic group – Osun Development Forum. He was a member of the committee that secured the Partner City status for Osogbo with the City of Wilmington, USA. Okunola believes that Osun State is blessed with enough resources to transform our community into a prosperous one if only the people can re-focus their energies powered by the similar positive mindset that has worked for other cities.

Okunola's campaign appeals for grassroots support through the involvement of community-leaders providing guidance for policy emphasis related to their needs. His friends are organizing a fund-raising party to support Okunola's political aspiration to run for the office of the Governor of Osun State of Nigeria. They are inviting the support of everyone for first fund-raising party holding in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, May 27, 2018, at Sheraton Hotels, Arlington, Texas from 6 PM, from where the train moves on to Nigeria. They continue to set up avenues for support for the campaign to explain their grassroots-inspired initiatives for Osun State.

Okunola's campaign drive to displace those long-sitting players who mortgage our fortunes with their chokehold on our resources is firmly on course. The cabals have created massive populations of disenfranchised civil servants and youth, disillusioned by the wastefulness of their energies at the peak of their lives when otherwise, they should be exploiting their potentials in careers that create a bright future for themselves and indirectly, for Osun State. Hence, he is appealing to everyone, young and old to get involved. The agony of mental emasculation has systematically entrenched poverty. Correcting the anomaly is an uphill task, but history tells us that heaven comes to aid of those who choose to help themselves. Therefore, everyone must come out in support of this campaign with your time and money. "Let me owe you the service, unlike others who their god-fathers," says Okunola.
