SCHEDULED…
Rising from a virtual emergency NEC meeting of the Union
Sunday evening, the Union leaders have unanimously agreed to go ahead with the
7th Triennial Delegates Conference as scheduled.
In a statement signed by the National Secretary of the
Union, Shuaibu Usman Lema, said the meeting that had in attendance 72 members
of the NEC “… was convened online today, Sunday, October 3,2021, to douse
tension occasioned by a purported court action and to further chart a way
forward as it relates to the 7th Triennial Delegates Conference in Umuahia”.
The statement added that “After a brief presentation by the
National President, Chris Isiguzo, and the Chairman, Electoral Committee, Garba
Muhammad, a motion was moved by Salihu Alkali, Chairman Nasarawa State Council for
the 7th Triennial Delegates Conference to hold as scheduled”.
It was further revealed that “The motion was seconded by
Momoh Adeiza, Chairman Kogi State Council, that election should go on as
scheduled since there is no served Court order stopping it, and that should any
court process that will necessitate postponement of the election be served, the
tenure of the Central Working Committee will be extended to such a time when
elections will be rescheduled”.
Therefore, without any counter to the motion, the NEC of the
Union “…resolved to proceed with the election from the 6th-7th October, 2021 in
Umuahia, Abia State, and that the present CWC is mandated to continue in office
if there is any court order that may necessitate a postponement pending when
the election will be rescheduled” the statement concluded.
