Many great word-works have been done to eulogise the personality of the man that rose to the peak of his calling on self-belief, sagacity, decorum, vision and divinely mobilised workforce beyond human comprehension.
Speaking at the official visit, the convener of the LASMAYA Movement, Dr. Aderemi Ifaolepin Aderemi stated that the Award has been running since 2008 with credible integrity and nominees of great repute and commendable intergrity. He noted that nominees were not contacted by phone but by letters, after which a release was publicise to get the public acquainted of the voting process.
He stated;
Before we nominate anyone, we have spent no fewer than 3 years studying the person. We consider what the person has done and how he has impacted society. Nominees can come from various walks of life; from ICT, Property, Politics, and so on. We would have gathered records and facts from the person to know his integrity and moral credentials. Once we finalize the 10 names; we then send letters to them and place the information on major national dailies.
The nominees can canvass for votes and make people send text. It is one phone number per votes. And whoever is capable enough to mobilize for himself to get the highest vote wins.
For you to even get nominated means you are recognized as a personality who has impacted the state in various ways.
He congratulated Adron Homes and stated that the public should see him as an example of true leadership whose impact has attracted the love of many.
The GMD, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking reacting to the award, stated that he wasn’t even aware of the award until he read it in the newpaper, barely a few days before the voting commenced. he looked through other contestants and noticed he’s up against personality of equal pedigree and high repute.
The most interesting this is the fact that it helps you determine your worth before the public. Because like he said, they’ve been doing background check on people. They don’t call you or ask you for your opinion or ask you to come and compete.
I just bought a newspaper on Monday morning, 16th of September, nobody called me that I was being nominated. I flip through that I have been nominated and the voting started that day.
I just called my people to inform them of the task we are up for. We only did our part and believe it was God who made it possible. Nobody told me anything that they have been watching me for the past 3 years.
Even if I never won, the fact that I have been selected amidst several real estate players. That’s a good one for me. I want to thank those who voted for me. I want to also thank the center for their due diligence and research. They have been doing this for over 9 years, and they have not compromised standard because, after the nomination, they also went on newspaper to give a nationwide publication of the result.
As a person and a company, we promise to deliver our best’, he said.
