Honourable Emmanuel Sanya Omirin, an astute politician whose quest is to make the lives of his people better by adding values to governance in the state needs to be unveiled to the larger space having done so well, and still crave to do more for his people in Osun and the nation, Nigeria.
As people would soon witness different moves
towards political activities in the state, unveiling this perfect gentleman to
people of Osun, both at home and those far away, would be a great service to
humanity.
Omirin, having served in
different capacities in the politics of Osun State, coming out now to do more
for his people would be a great call to mankind.
Despite
his humble background, Sanya Omirin, has been able to carve a niche for himself
with a resounding echo of where he came from and the need for him to make life
better for his people through representation in a larger space having served in
different categories in government.
Being in his mid fifties, the story of this great
achiever has been moving from grace to grace with amazing enlargement of coast
both seen and unseen, as he touches lives as well.
Owing to his dexterity and
nimbleness, Hon. Emmanuel Sanya Omirin had held several sensitive and
significant positions and to the Glory of God, he had performed brilliantly and
meritoriously well in all the assignments.
He was the Secretary, Atakunmosa
East Local Government. Also, he was a powerful Commissioner with Osun State
Local Government Service Commission, before he was appointed as a Federal
Commissioner with the Revenue Mobilization, allocation and fiscal Commission,
where he was the chairman, management committee and later chairman, oil and
Gas.
Also, this politician of note was
a member of indices committee, disbursement committee and fiscal efficiency
committee while at the RMAFC.
Sanya Omirin did not only excel in
public service, he has also recorded giant strides, as he made indelible marks
and now a formidable force to be reckoned with in private business. He is the
Chief Executive Officer of Penny Deriik International Suites.
He is also the Chairman and CEO,
Penny Deriik International Nigeria Limited, an Oil and Gas Company. He is also
the Chairman/CEO of Penny Deriik Agro Allied Farms LTD.
He has continued to bring to the fore, the idea
that leadership is all about service, all about identifying with peoples
plights and predicaments, his leadership style is up till today unfathomable to
some of his friends and followers, as though he dines with the high and the
mighty, but yet find time to converse and blend with lesser mortals.
Sanyals
parents were though not materially nor monetarily opulent, however having
realized that he who wants to be the captain of his soul must arm himself with
the power that education gives, thought it wise to educate their Jewel of
inestimable value with their little resources. Sanya went through the normal
academic odyssey as other
Nigerians, from Primary to
Secondary School and to Tertiary Institutions.
Upon graduation from Secondary
School, Sanya sought and gained admission to the prestigious Yaba College of
Technology, Lagos. When he graduated from the
Institution, this quintessential
young man decided to join politics. According to Mahatman Gandhi, man is the
product of his thought, what he thinks, he becomes, Sanya having all along
dreamt to occupy the corridor of power and become an organizer of men and
resources, started gathering people together and thereby oiling his political
machines. His first taste of power was when he was appointed secretary
Atakunmosa East Locat Government. He later ventured to lead the council as
Chairman, but the attempt failed to materialize.
He however took solace in the
words of Richard Nixion who said "it is sad to experience defeat, but the
greatest sadness is to travel through life knowing neither victory nor defeat.
And so, the struggle continued for the young man. Moved by his amazing loyalty
to the party and his leaders despite untold disappointments, Former Governor
Olagunsoye Oyinlola decided to appoint Hon. Sanya Omirin as a Commissioner of
the Osun State Local Government Service Commission, under the Chairmanship of
Major Omotara RTD. This office, Hon. Omirin touched the lives of the down
trodden.
At the expiration of his tenure at
the Osun State Local Government Service Commission, Hon. Omirin again tested
his popularity in Atakunmosa East Local Government, this time he succeeded. And
so became the Chairman of the agrarian council Area.
His eventual ascension to office attested to Albert
Einstein's postulation that "Success is the ability to go from one failure
to another with no loss of enthusiasm." It is an unequivocal fact that,
Hon. Sanya Omirinls laudable achievements in Atakumosa East Local
Government remains unequalled since he left office. lt is on record that the
council Area witnessed great and amazing transformation durinG his tenure.
His popularity up till today has continued to
spread like wild fire years after he had left office.
Sanya was installed as Otunba Tayese of Iragbiji land by his Royal
Majesty Oba Abdul Rasheed Olabomi Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Boripe Local
Government.
A man of great native intelligence, Sanya Omirin
will always be in the fore front in service to humanity particularly the less
privileged masses.
A holder of masters of Business Administration, University of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
His track records of successful services at different spheres where he had found himself at one point or the coupled with his quest to serve have made people crave for his participation and ascension to the position of the executive governor of the state next year 2022.
