While announcing the results of the election, the electoral chairman, Comr. Kehinde Olaonipekun declared the following as winners while others were elected unopposed. He however described the election as satisfactory and in line with the constitution of the association.
The electoral chairman also used the medium to state reasons why the previous election was cancelled.
“You will recalled that the first election was held at iwe iroyin on 6th July, 2019 but was hijacked by miscreants, touts and hooligans and as a result of it, several petitions were received from the delegates, chapter heads, Stakeholders and security agencies. Based onto this and for posterity and fairness, we declared that election null and void.”
“I am happy that today’s election is peaceful and followed due process. We had 26 chapters accredited out of 48 as a result of threat by some hoodlums who doesn’t want this rerun to take place”, he concluded.
