Dated;

GOD ELEDUMARE,
INTRODUCTION
The timidity of the divine is the beginning of sagacity. Federation Of Ekiti State Students Union is an umbrella body of the indigenous students of Ekiti State, home and in diaspora. In the time past FESSU was inaugurated as a united body to agitate for and protect the welfare of the Ekiti Students in which we are only a beneficiary of the ideological stance and struggle of the heroes past.
Now hitherto, is the history of tsunami of the uncommon sense revolution, this is diving away from the usual attitude of indolence, attitude of I don't care, this is exemplary leadership, this is understanding the needs of Ekiti students and Nigeria Students at large as well as how well to service them.
Because of the dynamic nature of the union being a union that do not rely on dues despite economic quagmire, I believe what is required is an uncommon leadership. An uncommon leadership is one with an unpolluted intellectual intrepidity. Also, very important, is involving followership, where you, I mean you is actively involved in Ekiti progress and programs. Ekiti kete oo n jaa jijo se oo. I am an uncommon Visionary .As my name implies Orewa, ore rin ni me i a ooo I'm the friend president.
THE ANOINTED SERVANT; MY CALL
DESRIRING POWER and POWER ACQUISITION are two different thesis,power might be desired so dearly but may not be acquired,every homosapiens salivate for power but the few get the claws of power in their hands. Great desire for power does not guarantee its acquisition, those that have opportunity for its acquisition will not have it to forever.
My call to serve is synonymous to a seed that hasn't been and reluctant to be planted in the soil, but has started to germinate. Before it became my ambition, it has been the students ambition for me to lead, it came to my amusement to know that people had started the campaign vigorously for me, even when have not had that in my widest dream.
Credence was given to my call in the book of Prophet Isaiah chapter 61 verses 1; "the spirit of the lord GOD is upon me, because the lord has anointed me to bring goodnews to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners" and the lord said in Samuel chapter sixteen "RISE AND ANNOINT HIM THIS IS THE ONE"
My emergence,though anointed, an heavenly call but not a right but a privilege and anointing to serve diligently.
THE UNCOMMON WELRARISM REVOLUTION
I'm an Ekiti man, I Don't give up. I Don't settle for less.
The belief that we control, with an unconfirmed statistics, over 80% of the students of Ekiti State University, leads to the appreciation of the fact that every occurrence in this citadel of learning affect greatly our members, if five students of Ekiti State University are affected by any draconian action, WE understand the fact that out of this five students, four of them, if not all, would be FESSUites, the remaining one, technically is our member because he or she have Ekiti friends and those that loves us and could support our agenda any day anytime, I have conferred in them an honorary membership. On that note, From this day forward, The interest of one Ekiti Indigene is the interest of all, Your pain is our pain, Your welfarism is our priority, we hold you in high esteem. Ekiti first, Ekiti Students welfare is paramount.
THE UNCOMMON EDUCATION REVOLUTION
Ekiti Kete o, as you all know, Ekiti is motored by Fountain of Knowledge and in the recent past, someone came and said its a land of honor, the fact can not be disputed that KNOWLEDGE brings HONOR, on this note, Ekiti Kete o, WE ARE HONORABLE PEOPLE.
To remain an honorable people we have always been, we will organized the first of its kind contest of the brain, ground breaking debate competition, as well as educational summit among others.
We will work for you and not let down the popular mandate given me.
SOCIAL/SPORTS
All work and no play, makes uncle Jack a dull man, working with my social and sports director, we shall resuscitate the social and sporting life of Ekiti Indigenes, for the first time, there will be KABIESI's CUP, among others. Ekiti, the land of honor where knowledge flows is bless with a plethora of cultural heritage . We had find way to explore these heritage sites, like the warm spring, water fall, among others we are to learn and enjoy them.
NEIGHBOURS
To my kith and Kins from National Association Of Ondo State, the sunshine state,having received the stretch of the Olive branch, we shall continue to toe in that direction of peace and oneness because we are peace loving people, as well as all other indigenous associations, We are together We are one.
STATE OF THE UNION
It has come to my understanding that our union has been ran with no CODIFIED constitution but an "UNCODIFIED LAWS" and STANDING OTHER, in reference to this, I wish to announce the appointment of Isreal Olawunmi from the faculty of law as the Special Adviser on Legal Matters, also, I announce the appointment of Fatoyinbo Seun aka Brainbox as the chief press secretary, appointment letters would be issued after this meeting.
In addendum, our administration Will correct the errors that has bedeviled our union.
My administration is set to return vigour, act of honesty, balance in the tenureship calendar, as well as activism into FESSU
MY DEEPEST PAIN
The only channel by which human being abstract reality is language. Language affect the way we think or perceive our reality.
Its lugubrious to see that many Ekiti indigene students are ashamed of speaking their dialect, it becomes more saddening that these problem persist especially among the HOME BASED EKITI, we can never be Lagosians, all we can is to be ourselves and make OUR Ekiti great. If our language is allowed to slip away from us, we will begin to think a new and such newness affect our reality and genuity
Its on this note that I want appreciate the out going president, Comr Adedara Temitope Topmost and all the excos, also Mr Abegunde Martins, Ademiluyi Ayodele Ayomighty and all other people who stood firm on our cause. Also, I appreciate the effort of Comr Omotayo Ola aka Leo in making FESSU great as well as the electoral committee led by Hon. Olumide Denis aka Karl Marx for their impartiality and transparency of process.
Finally, every man desire to be successful, but our effort expended determines its achievement, Ekiti kete o, let's bring diligence and determination in our academic life which is our primary assignment in this citadel of learning.
Without forgetting that our tomorrow is a product of our actions and inaction today so let's all get involved in FESSU activities so that we all get evolved because we are stronger together.
Thank you all
God bless FESSU
God bless EKSU
God bless EKITI STATE
God bless NIGERIA
God Bless YOU yes I mean YOU
