BREAKING NEWS: UNIZIK
SUG PRESIDENT THREATENS TO DISSOLVE THE SRC.
The embattled SUG president Comr.
Ibe Chukwunonso CICO has sent a letter to the SRC demanding an apology. The
president felt slighted by the actions of the SRC, who accused him of embezzling
over 6million naira. The president in his letter to SRC, demands that the SRC
apologize for indicting him or face dissolution. According to him he
inaugurated the SRC, and has the power to dissolve the house unless they
apologize for the accusations they leveled against the president.
As at the time of filing this
report, the SRC are yet to sit to take a decision.
The
questions on the lips of every student are these “Will the SRC apologize?” And
“Can the SUG president dissolve the
House?” These might be yet another leadership tussle in the institution
Below is the
content of the letter from CICO to SRC.
“RE:
INVITATION TO SRC MEETING
Greetings from the
executive council of SUG and the entire students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University,
Awka.
It is with profound
joy that we acknowledge your works and active check on our government to ensure
a balance of power. Nevertheless, it is a thing of irony that the SRC is
working to the detriment of this government.
We are writing in
response to your letter dated 2nd July, 2014 which we received on 3rd
July, 2014 mandating the president to appear before the house on 4th
July, 2014. It is outrageous that the SRC have gone beyond what the students
expect from them and this is evident in the scandalous accusation leveled on the
president over mismanagement of funds amounting to N6.2million which is
obviously affecting the union’s integrity before our students and the
president’s political life after school and possibly years to come. It is on
this note that we emphatically demand an apology from the SRC for attempting to
deceive the entire public; a special apology from the Speaker for allowing
himself to be used or rather connive with some house members to deceive the
entire house members; for unconstitutionally spreading the news of suspension
when it is no part of the constitution he swore by; for having not followed due
process in their proceedings; for insulting the executive arm of the union and
disrespecting the authority being bestowed on it directly by the students; for
attempting to rubbish our efforts via the media; for attempting to render the
president homeless by commanding him to vacate his apartment which depicts how
heartless the SRC can be on their fellow students not minding union’s efforts
and how tough we have fought for people that have problems with their
landlords; for tarnishing the image of the union and making some persons loose
interest in the union which we tried so hard to rebuild.
We therefore cease to
recognize the house which the president inaugurated through the power bestowed
on him by the constitution if this apology is not well published within 7-days.
As far as our government is concerned, there is no SRC until all the false
publications against the president and the government is removed and an apology
rendered. And, when next you want to invite the president, give me 7 days
notice, he is a student like every other person, he is not a non-academic
student, as the SUG president, he has 100 times more responsibilities than you
have.
Thanks as we look
forward to receiving your apology.”
This letter was
signed by the SUG President, Comr. Ibe Chukwunonso Cico and the SUG secretary
general, Comr. Kelvin Onyebuchi and was submitted to the SRC house few hours
ago.
