The newly elected President Faculty of Science, FASSA, Emmanuel Oniyide has come out to give a vote of thanks to his supporters in a reaction to the just concluded faculty election that happened during the week.
The Faculty of Science Student Association held their election on Friday, 22nd of March, 2023, where a Zikite and a student of the department of Anthropology, Emmanuel Oniyide popularly known as Excellency emerged victorious with a whopping 416 votes which constituted about 60% of the students that casted their votes.
This comes after Oyekanmi Faiz, another Zikite was elected as the president of The Faculty of the social science student association, making it two consecutive wins for Nnamdi Azikwe Hall.
Excellency said he would like to thank God first and then thank FASSAite for voting him in and giving him the chance to lead tem. He said he was the PRO of the FASSA electoral committee last year while simultaneously running for the Post of the vice hall chair in Zik hall.
On the role of ZIK hall in his success, he stated that when he got to know that his opponent was also a Zikite, he told some stakeholders in ZIK hall particularly the hall chairman and from the hall Chairman’s reactions and words he was told that the hall cannot interfere in their election because they are brothers contesting outside ZIK hall and they should face it themselves.
He noted that the hall didn’t interfere as he expected the ZIK hall IPM to tell people to share posts and campaign flyers but that wasn’t the case, he continued to push on and didn’t stop because he wasn’t getting backing from the hall. However, he stated that before the day of the election some Zikites reached out to him asking how and where they could help him and he thanked God that all their efforts came through.
As to what FASSAites should expect in his administration, he reminded our correspondent that he was a participant of the group that came second runner up at the INNOTECH event that came a day after the election. He said he won yesterday and won again today and he knows there are better days to come like this so he wants FASSAites to expect more excellent things like this to come like his name, EXCELLENCY.
