News flash: Okun Students counter desperate move to stop convention.

Report suggest that the special adviser to governor Yahaya Bello on youth and student affairs Mr MD Eseyin in connivance  with the administrator of Ijumu local government Mr Taofiq Isah has instructed military personnel in the area to stop the election of National Association of Okun Student scheduled for today the 31st of December 2017.

The move came as a result of the vehement refusal of the students and stakeholders of the union to do the bidding of Mr Eseyin who is said to be highly unpopular among the students and youths of Okun nation.

Mr Eseyin is said to be desperate to produce a president for the association and he is now considering an option of a parallel congress outside the scheduled venue which is Ayegunle Gbede for the national convention.

The same scenario played out last year when Mr Taofiq militarized Ijumu students union election there preventing a level playing field for all the participants.

As at press time, the leadership of the association and stakeholders are said to be in a meeting to counter the desperate move of the governors aide.

After exhaustive deliberation by the students and stakeholders to go ahead with the convention despite the presence of military personnel, Opeyemi Julius, a presidential aspirant from Yagba west decided to step down and work for the candidature of Opeyemi Ojagun Alias Okun as the only consensus candidate.

Finally, the delegates to the convention successfully casted their votes for the only consensus candidature of Opeyemi Ojagun alias Okun Boy from Yagba west as the National President and Magareth Olupehin from Kabba/Bunu LG as Senate President of the association. The NAOS Electoral Chairman made the announcement of the elected executives.
