The National Association of Okun Students finally brought and end to the factional administrative disputes between the elected President, Comr Seun Bello and the factional leader Comr. Bolaji Ehinmoro. The congress reaffirmed the authenticity of the election that brought in Comr Seun Bello. The cogress held at College of
Agriculture, Kabba on the 6th of December 2020 was a Congress to remember as it was devoid of political party influences and students were once again reassured that they hold the helms of affairs of the association.
The Senate President of the association, Comr Kayode Opeyemi Julius and other members of the 15th NAOS senate had earlier invited both factional leaders to give a comprehensive account of their stewardship. While Comr. Seun Bello showed up at the congress, Comr. Bolaji Ehinmoro underated the Congressmen and gave excuses for not showing up.
It was after this that the Senate resolved to let the Congress decide on whose faction would be upheld.
For the first time Since the dissolution of the 12th Senate, the gavel and the maze which are the symbol of authority of the Congress was seen at the Congress.
Comrade Nayo Jude drew the attention of Congressmen to a matter of urgency when he moved a motion as for the Congress to affirm and recognize the authenticity of Comrade Seun Bello as National President since it was the same election/convention that brought him in also brought in the sitting Senate president. The motion was seconded by Comr Adebowale Adeniyi, the National vice President.
Comrade Nayo Jude Babatunde further buttressed that since no one is challenging the elections that produced Comrade Seun Bello as the National President on the Congress floor, he should be affirm as the authentic president.
The Senate President in response to the demands of the Congressmen proceeded to a voting of "I's and Nays". The voting process returned Seun Bello unopposed. The Senate President declared Seun Bello as the Authentic and only Recognized NAOS President, declaring any other Factional Executives as impersonators and threats to the Unity and Progress of the association.
The Senate President, Sen. Kayode Opeyemi Julius after then call on Comr Seun Bello to give account of stewardship of his administration.
In the Speech of the National President, Comrade Seun Bello, he itemized Projects that the Current Executives has executed right from the inception of the administration. Stressing the fact that he never recieved a dime as subvension from the Kogi State government. He thanked all local district Presidents for maintaining a decent relationship with him during the cause of his administrative struggle. He also appreciated the 15th Senate for playing an unbiased role in the discharge of their legislative duties.
The Congressmen thereby declared Comr. Bolaji Ehinmoro as an Impersonator, and advised every member of the public not to deal with him on issues that concern NAOS as any of such dealings would be termed illegal.
The Chief whip of the 15th Senate Arm, Dist. Sen. Kinrin-ola Anjola Emmanuel implored the Senate arm to seek for a means by which all NAOS properties in the possession of Comrade Bolaji Ehinmoro will be restored back from the Factional President and handed over to the National President as Recognized By the Senate Arm and the Unity Congress.
He also said all bank accounts operated in the name of the association other than the ones operated by the Executive board led by Comrade Seun Bello be deactivated and further transactions in the name of the association to this accounts be termed as fraudulent. He also advised all past executives operating such accounts be ordered to discontinue such practices. And also urged the Senate Arm to ensure that those banks operating such accounts should be notified to stop any further transactions through this accounts in the best interest of the association.
Finally the Congressmen adjorned to 20th of December 2020 to hold another Congress.
Comrade Seun Bello has since resumed administrative activities of NAOS and he is currently working with the Senate President to ensure a smooth transition of power by conducting a UNITY CONVENTION and the annual Miss Okun beauty pageant.
Also Present at the Congress were local chapter Presidents of NAOS, members of Bunu Students Union, Ijumu Students Union, Kabba Students Union and Federation of Yagba Students, Congress observers and some representatives of security operatives.
Now that Serenity has been restored to the association we believe that NAOS would be great again.
