SOCIAL CRUSADE & HUMAN RIGHTS PROFILE

2000: Founded One Love Family & Caring Association (One Love Foundation, Nigeria, for short); a non-profit non-governmental organization for justice and
human rights campaigns across Nigeria.

2007-2016: Compelled government attention to amenities and infrastructure denied oil producing seaport community, Gelegele, in Ovia North East council area of native Edo state, South-South Nigeria.
2008: Organized, single-handedly funded One Million Man protest that shut down the busiest public highway in Africa, the 247km BBC oft-reported Lagos-Benin Expressway, to bring Nigeria’s Federal Government attention to perilous conditions of the road. This resulted in stormy national parliamentary debates and a #300billion presidential budget approval for rehabilitation and reconstruction of deplorable spans of the road.

2009: Founded and funded popular box-office TV programme, One Love Forum, airing on government owned national television network, NTA Benin, which brought election violence in Nigeria into sharp focus in the radar of government and NGOs nationwide. The impact gave birth to the social crusader promoting and pioneering the famous One-Man One-Vote crusade and catch phrase whose flavor Nigeria state governors and political lobbyists of presidential candidates picked up, thence heightening the consciousness of ballot integrity across Nigeria.

SINCE 2009: Founding crusader of Close-their-Legs, Open-their-Brains campaign against sex-for-marks trauma and abuse of women by lecturers of Nigeria universities and higher institutions of learning. This campaign has since emboldened female scholars nationwide to resist, report and testify in courts against sexual pressures by predatory lecturers, leading to sack and high profile prison conviction of culpable lecturers, including professors, in Nigeria universities especially since 2016.

SINCE 2010: Vocal crusader of freedom of information on demand by Nigeria public, advocating unhindered access to records of public expenditures by government ministries, departments and agencies.

This was eventually passed into
law as the Freedom of Information Act by Nigeria’s parliament on May 28, 2013.

SINCE 2011: Pioneered landmark litigations enforcing provisions of the FOI Act against Nigeria’s elected public officers. Some notable litigations include:

(i) Suit against former Edo state governor, His Excellency Aliu Oshiomhole, and his
Commissioner for Health, Engr. Clement Agba, for public disclosure of expenditure details of #25billion state loan meant to execute Benin capital city Storm Water project but embezzled by state actors.

(ii) A suit upheld by federal high court preventing state governor, His Excellency Aliu Oshiomhole, from selling to private proxies of state actors Edo House, the equivalent of a state embassy in another state of the Nigeria federation.

(iii) Litigation against current state governor, His Excellency Godwin Obaseki, to make public and to justify additional #38billion state loan and projects expended in the light of meagre projects on ground.

(iv) Suit seeking his district’s senator in parliament, Senator Ehigie Uzamere to publicly disclose his emoluments and salaries, preparatory to a grand recall process for non-performance. The respondent senator narrowly escaped recall fall because the suit came at the terminal months of completing his single term and he never achieved re-election because of the foundation’s FOI action.

Other civil right litigations and public mobilization against wrongdoing by
state and private sector institutions in Nigeria include Patrick Eholor vs. Nigeria Customs against checkpoint killings of merchant citizens by Customs officers often occurring during demands for bribes, Central Bank of Nigeria currency abuse and fraudulent service charges by Nigeria banks, public mobilization rallies and media conferences to enforce compliance and non-diversion by Nigeria state governors of Paris Club debt reliefs from relief specified public interest projects since 2008 to date remains a historical landmark in Nigeria’s public treasury probity advocacy.

One of the forerunner of the Endsars protester who unfortunately was being victimise by the Nigerian Police Force on October 20 2021.

4 August 20221 he asked AGF, Police to prosecute, initiate extradition process against Abba Kyari to US using a lawsuit with the number FCT/HC/216/2021.

The one behind Gloria Okolie’s release who was illegally imprisoned and tagged IPOB SPY.

OCTOBER 2019: Foremost civil society recipient of African Award for Exponential Human Rights Advocacy by Africa Bar Association and special guest of Liberia’s president, His Excellency George Weah, at the Africa lawyers event in Monrovia, Liberia.

PHILANTHROPY
Friend and patron of Special Children, People with Disability NGOs for
sustained multi-decade material and financial donations.

Inducted Friend and Patron-Saint of Orphans Acre, faith based sustainable
livelihood for orphanages programme in recognition of years of critical funding support.

Police Command to augment poor power supply and improve services by the police precincts.

Hundreds of small and medium scholarship support funding to indigent and exceptional students, numerous financial contributions to student unions of various Nigerian universities literally totaling millions of naira in the last 25 years.

Patron, financial donor to various youth football tournaments in Edo and Delta states of Nigeria.

NOTABLE ACTIVITIES

Campaigns for the reform of the diverse security outfits in Nigeria, including the police, army and others. His campaigns for reform in the police force began over 7 years before the uprising of youths called ‘#ENDSARS.

Notably, Chief Patrick Eholor was arrested on October 20, 2021, when he joined other Nigerians to commemorate the #EndSARS protest at Lekki Toll Gate. The words in his mouth were that ‘the police has not learnt their lessons, and that it’s time for the police to demand for reforms’, when he was arrested by the same policemen he was speaking for!

*Chief Eholor again, single-handedly organised a protest March Against the Ministry of Roads and Housing, headed by Babatunde Fashola, and along with some. Edo citizens, they blocked the popular Sapele Road to demand for its repairs. This happened in late 2021, and Governor Godwin Obaseki was forced to bring in paliatuve measures to fix the road.

*Instituted cases against the Federal Government on the following:
Twitter ban, murder of young Jumoke Oyeleke, a 14 year old girl shot by the police during Yoruba rally in July 2021,
×suit against federal government over Lekki Toll Gate massacre,

x Sued FG for planning to enforce section 5,4,3,1 of the NBC code on all broadcasting stations, etc…
