The Chairman of the Great Ife Students’ Union Electoral Commission, Ayebiele Khalil Oluwajuedalo has assured the Great Ife Students of accountability in the most anticipated Union Election.
Khalil, while speaking with Edugist, noted that although the commission has a very limited time to work with, it won’t be a hindrance to exercising their duty.
To achieve this he noted: “We are going to be observant and make sure we give the Great Ife student that memorable election in which in the history of the Union they are yet to witness. We are bringing accountability, Transparency and other features that will be communicated soon”.
Oluwajuedalo added that “The simplest thing to do in the world is accountability. Trust me, being accountable doesn’t take the height of mighty rock. And no mountain is insurmountable so far there’s the right zeal for such purposes. In this regard, me and my electoral committee member we will adopt a guideline that will be a renouncing effect on the purpose of transparency”.
In the same vein, the Electoral Commission on May 18th, 2023 announced the lifting of the election ban and commencement of campaign activities.
