Electoral Chairman denies resignation of commissioners

Sequel to the circulating news of the resignation of some commissioners of the Unilorin Independent Student Electoral Commission (UISEC), the Union of Campus journalists(UCJ) in an exclusive interview with the Chairman of the commission, Abdul Qudus Jeboda, gathered that as at the time of the interview (11:58 am; 17th July, 2018), no resignation letter has been tendered by any member of the commission.

When asked what could have led to such acclaimed resignation at the eleventh hour, he made it clear that it might have resulted from the flexibility of the commission on a decision to disqualify certain candidate(s) earlier, until a different evidence of eligibility was provided.

The Chairman in his words stated that the commission is acting based on guidelines and requisite provided by the newly amended constitution.

Having met the necessary requirements, all aspirants were therefore allowed to participate in the electoral process.

As of the time of writing this report, all efforts to reach the concerned commissioners have proved abortive. Subsequent reports shall be made available as at when due.

Stay tuned.
