Akinsanya, in his remarks, extended a message of reconciliation, saying, “I have forgiven everyone who has offended me, and I hope those I have offended will forgive me as well.

This is our union, and we must be committed to preserving it. We will not allow anyone to destroy our means of livelihood.”

Additionally, Tajudeen Agbede was elected as Vice President for the Southwest, and Akeem Adeosun was chosen as a Trustee from the zone.

After taking the oath of office, Akinsanya, surrounded by family and supporters, called for unity and peace among members, pledging to work tirelessly to strengthen the Union.

Manchester City were stunned on Saturday night as Brighton mounted a thrilling 2-1 comeback to defeat the reigning Premier League champions.

Erling Haaland put City in the driver’s seat with an early goal in the 26th minute, giving Pep Guardiola’s side a 1-0 lead and setting the stage for what many expected to be a routine win. But Brighton had other ideas.

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi made key substitutions that proved decisive.

Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley, both introduced after the break, were the game-changers.

Pedro’s calm finish in the 65th minute leveled the score, sending the home fans into a frenzy.

Just minutes later, O’Riley’s precise strike in the 79th minute completed the turnaround, sealing a memorable victory for Brighton.

The win not only left Manchester City reeling but also handed Guardiola his fourth consecutive defeat as City manager—something he has never experienced before in his career.
