He added that the petitions forwarded to punch newspaper where he was working had been considered by the management with immediate sack from work.
Babalola said that his source of living and survival had been terminated sequel to sentimental petitions written to damage his person and getting him disqualified from participating in the electoral exercise.

He said NUJ was a unionism which its activities and programmes needed to be carried  out in line with democratic principles and tenets that uphold the profession of journalism.
Babalola said that his rival camp had been acting contrary to the normalcy of the game, adding that if the incumbent occupier of office seeking for reelection had done well, he had should not nurse any phobia as his achievements would campaign for him.

He however pledged that if he is returned as the chairman of Oyo State's NUJ, he would ensured his performances are unprecedented and remarkable.
