25, 2021, Okadigbo emerged winner beating other two contestants.

ensure that the objectives of the association are realized.
He also promised to
assist in the membership drive of the union to make sure that Osina youths in
Lagos register with the union.
Chairman, OTU Lagos
Branch, Chief (Sir) Ernest Eze, Orabugwueze,
congratulated the newly elected Vice Chairman while also appreciating
other members for ensuring a rancour free, free and fair election, stressing
that that was the spirit of Osina in action.
The President General
of Osina Community, Chief Kelechi Ejeagwu (Mbata Etoom) also congratulated Emeh
while also appreciating the competitive spirit of those who lost in the
election, appealing to them to join hands to move Osina to another level.
Ejeagwu used the
opportunity to inform the Branch on preparations towards the maiden edition of

Ejeagwu.

illustrious member of Lagos Branch. He was also the former Vice Chairman of the
group before he was elected PG of his town. The election was therefore
