NUIS: Stakeholders Issue 1-Week Ultimatum to NEC to Hold Electoral Convention

Stakeholders of the National Union of Izon-Ebe Students, NUIS, in Western Zone have issued a one-week ultimatum to the Comrade Simeon Duoduo-led National Executive Council to organize an electoral convention in a location in the zone.

In a congress held on Monday 3 May, the stakeholders say the move is to allow Comrade Simeon and his fellow executives hand over power to a new leadership, as his tenure in office has long elapsed.

According to the Stakeholders, the ultimatum became necessary following the lackadaisical attitude the incumbent President has exhibited towards organizing a National Convention, or to hand over power for that matter.

The Stakeholders decried the damaging effects the behavior of Comrade Duoduo has left on the Body, saying drastic measures must be implemented to curb a further decay of the apex student body in Ijaw Nation.

In a statement signed by notable Stakeholders in Western Zone, the Electoral Committee inaugurated by Simeon Duoduo was also charged with implying methods that will make the election of a new leadership simple.

Resolutions drawn at the congress includes;

1. That the National Executive Council led by Comrade Simeon Duoduo should hold an elective convention in Western Zone within one week.
2. Non-students from the Electoral Committee should be removed and be replaced with students from the zones they represent.
3. That there be a reduction of electoral form fees to an amount affordable for aspirants to purchase forms with and a refund be made to aspirants who already purchased forms at the earlier rates announced by the ELECO.

This is our stand as Stakeholders of the National Union of Izon-Ebe Students in Western Zone.
