We sincerely apologize for the delay in
bringing you this vital information, we hope our misgivings will be forgiven.
Remember we brought you report with regards
the inconclusive and controversial primary elections that held about two weeks
ago for a consensus SUG presidential aspirant from Petroleum and Gas department
between Comr. Osajiele Mike and Enede Tennyson, in which electoral
irregularities were cited to have marred the process.
But the issue seems to have finally been
resolved as we gathered from Comr. Mike that a fresh primary election was conducted last week with the
departmental HOD supervising the electoral process. The election this time
around was conducted fully devoid of the electoral malpractices that marred the
previous one as this time around the total number of eligible voters (numbering
62) who voted tallied with the number of votes cast and counted.
At the end of the peaceful polls, Comr.
Osajiele Mike pulled 62.9% (39) of the total votes cast beating his opponent
Enede Tennyson who pulled 37.1%(23) of the votes by 16votes. Comr. Mike was
then cleared by his department to fly the flag in the SUG presidential race
coming later in the semester.
Comrade Mike also reported that Enede Tennyson accepted defeat in good
fate applauded the organizers of the primaries for a free and fair elections
and also congratulated Comr. Mike promising to stick to the agreement both
aspirants entered before the primaries which included accepting the outcome of
the elections, dropping of presidential aspirations for whoever comes out
winner. He promised to support the aspirations of his colleague Comr. Mike and
also encouraged his supporters to put their weight behind Comr. Mike as he was
the right man for the job.
