Sherfex who spoke to our correspondent at his Ilasa office, Oshodi-Apapa express Way, said the reason he decided to endorse Adeyanju as the next Union President General was because he could take the union to the next level. According to him, "Alhaji Adeyanju is tested, trusted and reliable looking at his antecedent and current performance as the Chairman of Dockworkers which has been of unbeatable record". 

He then reeled out some of the achievements of Adeyanju who is currently running his 2nd term to include Insurrance policy for the members to benefit and since then, any members who get injured or died on duty will be duly compensated. He said Adeyanju also mandated terminal operators to turn causual workers to full staff. "He introduced letter of employment to the staff so that the staff will not be laid off without being compensated as it is being doing before. Also, Adeyanju passed a law which all retired members benefits from unlike in the time past when they retired and got nothing while leaving. These among many other things have been his impact in the union since he assumed office and it has given members sense of belonging in the union". 

The Lagos big boy who is the owner of Sharfex filling Station also said; with the kind of person Adeyanju is and the leadership qualities in him, urged the marinetime Union of Nigeria to vote for him come March, so as to allow him continue from where the current president, Tony Emmanuel has brought the Union to because Tony is another leader who has achieved a lot in office by giving members' exposure by taking them abroad for training which many members never dreamt of before his tenure. "In addition to that,Tony also built houses for some of the members by making them landlords in the country, and for this achievements and progress to continue, we need an intelligent leader with attitude of a servant like Adeyanju to take us to the promised land we all dream about in Marinetime Union of Nigeria," he concluded.
