“I won’t be contesting anymore if a rerun is granted”- Aderemi Moses

"At the inception, I made the move to reach out to the FLC, executives, the dean of student affairs. At this point, I feel like I should just focus on other things I’m actually getting my life into right now. The position I was on Jan 27th is actually different from the position I’m in now. Now I’m actually thinking of other things to engage my time in positively. Those are the major things now. Looking at everything that happened, the way individuals in the faculty reacted to it, I can say maybe I’ve actually done my best.

The fact is I’ve actually left the election to whatever happens– whatever Afasites actually want, let it just be their way. I won’t be contesting anymore if a rerun is eventually granted by the school management. But then pushing the case up is actually for history. Our history shouldn’t record that the faculty of Art had an election marred with so many irregularities. This should be our field of specialization; ours is a place where...."

“ADEREMI SAID AFAS ELECTION WAS PROOF THAT I WASN’T COMPETENT”- AFASIEC CHAIRPERSON

"A week after, I was going to the faculty when I received a call from the office of the Dean of Students’ Affairs on the election issue. They learnt I was the chairperson of the just concluded Faculty of Arts election and I responded in the affirmative. I was therefore instructed to appear before them. I got there as instructed and met both Aderemi and Damilath. I was not even expecting them. Just like what played out at the FLC sitting, questions were asked and responses were demanded.

Virtually at the end of hearing all sides, the woman asked Aderemi what he wanted. Aderemi said that obviously the election was proof that I wasn’t competent; he asked why I took up the office when I knew I was not competent. That as far as he was concerned, he has never lost an election and had lost because of my incompetence. In effect to this, he wanted an apology letter because I had soiled his name and reputation. He did not just want an apology letter but he wanted me to write it and post it all over UI, up to UCJ level. Secondly, he wanted a re-run election because of the irregularities and manipulation around the election".

At its special meeting held on Friday, 24 January, 2020, the attention of the Senate of the University of Ibadan was drawn to the article titled “Manipulation of Admission Process through University Portals” published in the JAMB Bulletin of 9 December, 2019 and two national dailies.

While the article accused three public universities of manipulation of the admission process, it did not mention the name of any university but went ahead to put an image of the University of Ibadan in the article.

According to the university’s registrar,Olubunmi O. Faluyi, the Senate noted that while 19,450 sat for the Post-UTME Screening Exercise, 12,450 scored 50% and above and were subjected to the cut-off marks set for courses to select the best of the applicants. The details of all candidates who were recommended for provisional admission were uploaded to the JAMB Central Processing System (CAPS) to enable them accept the offer and print their letters of admission.

AFAS ELECTION '19: AFASIEC DEFENDS ELECTION RESULTS

Shortly after the release of the election results, the Electoral committee has spoken up to clarify all doubt regarding the election results.

In the initial result that was earlier released, the number of voters were 945 and the total number of votes put together were around the figures of 993. Consequently, this caused a lot of uproar from Afasites.

Damilare Thomas, a presidential candidate had sent a statement rejecting the results.

When the news got to the electoral committee, they reached out to the individual who designed the software.

According to the computer programmer, he said that when he refreshed his computer, he discovered that the total number of votes cast were 1003.

He claimed that the result earlier announced were as a result of the computer not being refreshed.

He further added that the system being refreshed was the cause of the conflicting figures.

Also clarifying the issue of undecided votes, he said "though there was no column for undecided, students might still decide not to vote for anyone thus such vote does not count". This explains why the system computed the total number of votes for the presidential post as 992 as against the 1003 people that voted.

Thus 11 votes were undecided.
