  • Remain True To Yourselves, Oladunjoye Urges Activists

At the 2024 Human Rights Celebrations organized by the Coalition of Civil Societies and Pro-Democracy Activists in Ogun State, Abeokuta, former Chairman of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), Lagos State Branch, Comrade Tunde Oladunjoye, delivered a stirring address emphasizing the importance of authenticity and accountability among civil society organizations (CSOs).

Oladunjoye congratulated the Ogun State Civil Society Coalition for their efforts in commemorating International Human Rights Day, acknowledging the crucial role CSOs play in promoting good governance, environmental protection, law enforcement, climate change mitigation, women’s rights, and labour matters.

However, he also cautioned against the commercialization of activism, urging genuine activists to remain committed to their values and principles. “Human rights activism is not a profession, nor is it a license to blackmail people or spread unsubstantiated claims,” he emphasized.

Oladunjoye questioned the democratic practices within CSOs, calling for greater transparency, accountability, and financial responsibility. He urged activists to lead by example, publishing annual reports and audited financial statements, just as they demand from government officials.

The veteran activist also highlighted the importance of genuine engagement with the government and its representatives rather than opportunistic support or criticism. He drew inspiration from pioneering human rights defenders like Bekololari Ransome-Kuti, Gani Fawehinmi, and others who balanced activism with their professional pursuits.

In conclusion, Oladunjoye’s remarks served as a clarion call for authenticity and integrity within the CSO community, emphasizing that only by being true to themselves can activists effectively reduce inequality and advance human rights in society.
