Edo state contender in the National Delegates Conference of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, (NULGE), and the
President of Edo State chapter of (NULGE), Comrade Lazarus Adorolor, has been rated a possible choice for the National presidency of the Union.
Comrade Adorolor, a former two term chairman of Etsako West local government branch of NULGE, is highly tipped for the coveted position based on his reach, tract record and achievements while in office.
Comrade Lazarus Adorolo In a chat with journalists in Benin City, indicated his interest to contest for the top position of the Union as he described his candidature as "God's project", rated his chances of clinching the top post during the delegates conference of the Union as bright, stressing it is time to fix "a broken and divided body" and make it relevant to the changing needs of a contemporary workforce."
He noted, however, that his "candidacy will afford the Union an opportunity to right some wrongs which had plagued it since inception, one of which is the inability of South-South zone to produce the president of the Union."
He stated, "Other zones have had their own fair share of producing the president of the Union except the South-South zone.
This is the right time to allow the South-South zone produce the next president of the Union so as to promote equity and justice".
Adorolor who boasted to have been in the centre of confidence and capacity building in the Union, a role he said exposed him to its inner workings, noted he is best equipped to lead the Union having served as part of the team whose mandate was to restore peace and order, on two separate occasions, in July 2005 and in 2009, as a result of the protracted crisis that rocked the Union and threatened its core existence.
According to Adorolor, whose first tenure as Edo State chapter president of the Union is still running, the major achivements of his administration which was his campaign promise is the break of the jinx surrounding the non promotion of Edo State local government workers for a period six years which was achieved within a year and 4 months of his tenure as state president.
He submitted that his decision to run for the highest office in the Union is not a happenstance, noting he will ensure that the benefits of the Union accrues to all and sundry.
The election of a new national president of the Union is a major activity to be conducted during the NULGE National Delegates Conference, tentatively scheduled for January 5 - 6, 2021, in Lagos.
Adorolor, of Edo North extraction, is flying Edo State flag at the election
