You are right, Leadership is a trust and a call to service that must be delivered to the benefit of all. Opposite of what we witnessed with the immediate past leadership of Johnson. There's no disputing the obvious fact that the past two years of his leadership was a failure. The past Executives can vehemently attest to that, we only choose to keep quiet inorder to allow peace to reign. What reason does he have to keep withholding the Certificates of Meritorious Service that should have been given to the past YLF Executives. He told me point-blank, he will not give me the Certificate until I pay him 4000 Naira. When he was given Certificate of Meritious Service by his predecessor Owowo did he collect a dime from him. Everyone witness his display of desperation and lack of leadership prior and during the election, purposely removing me as an admin and member of the YLF Cradle Bar platform. Not just stopping there, he set forth to falsely blackmail me on the Bwari Branch platforms al
