The incumbent National President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), Comrade Innocent Bola-Audu, has reassured members of the Association and his supporters that he remains in charge, affirming that July 29, 2024, does not mark the end of his tenure in office but signifies the beginning of election of new leaders into the Association.
In a statement released by his Strategic Media Group in Abuja, Bola-Audu referenced Rule 8 of the Association’s Constitution, which empowers him to preside as well as lead the members of ASCSN to the National Delegate Conference, the highest decision-making body of the Association in the conduct of the election.
He emphasised his constitutional duty to preside over meetings of the Central Working Committee, National Executive Council (NEC), and National Delegate Conference, as mandated by the Association’s Constitution and a subsisting judgement from the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.
Bola-Audu urged members to remain steadfast and resist any action that contravene the Constitution and Court judgement, warning that such actions would only exacerbate the existing tensions within the Union. He expressed gratitude for the members’ support and encouraged them to remain calm, dismissing insinuations from certain quarters that his leadership would be undermined after July 29.
He declared, “God is involved in this struggle, and we have no doubt that light will triumph over darkness.”
