A group of students of Obafemi Awolowo University's faculty of Technology known as the TESA Rescue Alliance have released an open letter calling for Ugonna Utulor to run for the president of the faculty's association TESA. In the open letter titled "Ugo Must Run" they stated that Ugonna Utulor is the most qualified for the job and hence must return from his retirement to rescue the faculty body. Here's their statement in full

"UGO MUST RUN.

The TESA Rescue Alliance is a group of dissatisfied TESAites who want a different TESA from what we have seen in the last few months.

We have carefully studied the candidates for TESA 2019 presidency and we have found them wanting. We now realize that TESA cannot progress with any of them. TESA will remain the same, a sad reality for an association that desperately needs help.

We now know clearly that there's only one person that can lead TESA well. There's only one person that can unite TESA. We have studied his gentle character, his composed intelligent personality and his readiness to sacrifice personal interest for collective interest and we have decided to call him out of his retirement to come help TESA. This young man, Ugonna Utulor, politically known as Ugo, must run and must be supported to win if TESAites are really interested in seeing true leadership and in getting a TESA that truly works for TESAites.

Ugo is the pioneer General Secretary of TESA, a member of TESA's Constitution Review Committee, a tenured NACOSS parliamentarian and a published writer of respectable repute.

Ugo is the only person that can successfully lead TESA at this point. He has repeatedly advocated for a different kind of politics in TESA, we want him to show this politics from the front.

The TESA Rescue Alliance wish to plead with TESAites to avoid the mistake of voting for people because they're from your department but to vote for the best and in our opinion after studying all the candidates, Ugo is the best.

We believe TESAites will harken to this passionate appeal. God bless TESA. God bless Ugo.
