Due to a suspected compromise among the electoral authority, the eagerly awaited election that was supposed to take place online on Thursday has been postponed until further notice.
The election which was earlier scheduled to hold today was put on hold by the Student Affairs unit, according to a memo signed by the NISEC chairman, Oladeji Olarewanju Monday, obtained by UCJ correspondent on Thursday morning.
Insiders at the Faculty of Engineering’s senate chamber who spoke with a UCJ reporter over the phone on Wednesday night, claimed that undetected abnormalities and manipulations have been found, raising major concerns about the election process.
The insider reported that a presidential aspirant identified as Salako Michael, was alleged to have posted a confidential document of NISEC on his status, and eventually admitted guilt to the charges after a Senator Favour petitioned him.
After a few days, the presidential candidate who was removed, was reinstated under a dubiously perceived process on Wednesday evening instead of being investigated.
The insider emphasized that there were no presidential debates or manifestos that violated the constitution.
As a result, authorities have decided to postpone the election until a thorough investigation can be conducted to address the issue.
NISEC urged all aspirants and members of the faculty to remain resolute as any further information will be relayed by the commission after a meeting with the Dean, Students Affairs Unit.
