The newly elected chairman of the Non-Academic Staff Union (Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), Comrade Mohammed Wambai, has called on the national president of the union, Mr Makolo Hassan, to inaugurate his team in the interest of peace and justice.
Wambai told journalists in Abuja that the action of Hassan and some of the national executive members on the UNIABUJA NASU election gives indication of having a hidden agenda.
He expressed reservation that the national president and his team may feel that swearing him in with others elected might affect their second term in office as they will seek the chapter’s endorsement to scale through.
Wambai expressed shock and concerns that the same national president, who supervised the University of Abuja April election, alongside the secretary general, Comrade Peter Adeyemi, and other national and state officers, turned round to declare the election nullified?
The chairman-elect explained that the reason being given by Hassan was that he (Wambai) and the secretary-elect, Comrade Sunday Ajegina, who scored over 200 votes to emerge winner, belong to the same Department, saying the claims were unfounded.
He said there was no rule or law of NASU that forbade two persons of the same Department from being elected as EXCO members at the same time.
Wambai had also written to the national EXCO on the matter, through the secretary-general, Peter Adeyemi, demanding that he and the secretary-elect be sworn-in, in order to restore peace, harmony and progress in NASU, UNIABUJA chapter.
