A club of notable professionals of Ibadan extraction under the auspices of Legacy Stars of Ibadan, an affiliate of Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) has elected new set of executive members to pilot the affairs of the club for the next two years.
The election of the new executive members was held on Sunday at Ibadan House, located at Oke Aremo under the chairmanship of Deacon Ademola Alabi.
The election was attended by past and outgoing executive members of the club.
The election produced Mogaji Abayomi Gbadamosi as President, Alhaji Akeem Hussein as Vice President and Mr. Saheed Folarin as General Secretary.
Others are; Mr. Isiaka Safiu as Director of Finance, Mr. Akeem Rabiu as Auditor, Mr. Bukunmi Olugbade as Director of Social/ Welfare and Mr. Rahmon Dauda as Chief Whip.
Gbadamosi in his acceptance speech, thanked all members of the club for the opportunity given to him to win in the election.
He then enjoined members of the club to be ready and free to share their opinions and work together so as to move the club to the next level.
“Good evening brothers. I want to use this medium to profoundly appreciate all members of Legacy Stars of Ibadan for deciding to give me a platform to serve as the next president of this great club by casting their ballots for me today. I will never take this for granted.
“I would also use this opportunity to appreciate Legacy Sadik Abass for participating in the election in the spirit of wanting to serve the club, my respect for you is intact and would love to harmonise your ideas with mine to move the club to the next level.
“Big thanks to all contestants too, we are all winners with the love of the club in our hearts. The electoral committee did a fantastic job, thanks a lot.
“All members of LSI should be ready and free to share their opinions and work together to move the club to the next level. My doors and arms will be opened to all we are brothers and brothers we shall remain. God bless us all”.
Recall that the club had in December last year appealed to the federal government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate to probe the current and the previous management of the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan.
LSI noted that this was necessary to address and find lasting solutions to the incessant power outage in the teaching hospital.
