Akwa Ibom State University(AKSU) SUG election ends in chaos

By -
     Today being Friday, 18th November 2016 was penciled down by the University Administration as the date for the election of a new Students' Union Government.
Accreditation and voting in both campuses went on smoothly for about over 2 hours until a Mercedes Benz car and a Jeep drove into the school parking in front of the accreditation and voting centre of the Main campus located at Ikot Akpaden in Mkpat Enin LGA. Within spilt seconds a fight erupted owing to the occupants of the cars who wanted to forcefully enter the voting venue without the observance of due process abdy  rumors have it that the 'hoodlums' are said to be students of University of Uyo.
    Not too long after the fight got so fierce making the students run halter skelter for safety when it suddenly involved the use of weapons like machete and rumors have it that a gun was briefly brought out at the heat of the chaos.
     When a little calm was restored, some students still insisted that the voting exercise must continue. And the FEMALE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION did also protest in favor of the continuity of electioneering process.
     Shortly after, the Dean of Student Affairs swung into action by involving the security operatives (SARS) and cancellation of the elections and all students were however asked to vacate the university premises for security reasons. The university is now in peace as the situation has been arrested but students as at 6:00pm this evening are still not allowed to enter the university.

In October, 2018 the Independent National Electoral Commission reshuffled chairmanship positions of 5 out of 15 of its committees. Amina Zakari was the then Chairman of Electoral operations and Logistics. As a result of this action she was given a new chairmanship position to head the Health and welfare committee. In January 2019, Amina was given a new role as the Chairman of the committee on collation centers. So the news going around on social media accusing her of spear heading the postponment of the February 16th election is FALSE as she is not in charge of Electoral operations and Logistics but rather Professor Okechukwu Ibeanu.
