In the letter dated the 6th day of July, 2018, the NBA General Secretary voiced out his displeasure with the way and manner Mr. Akinlade has been parading himself as chairman of the branch, despite the directive of the NBA that every electoral activities of the branch be put on hold. Mr. Aare Isiaka Abiola Olagunju in a respectful but grave tone reiterated that, there IS NO ELECTED CHAIRMAN of NBA Ikorodu Branch until conduct of fresh election by the Caretaker Committee led by Prince Bisi Ademuwagun. “Kindly recall that due to the petitions received from the aggrieved members of NBA Ikorodu Branch about the process for the conduct of elections by the NBA Ikorodu Branch Electoral Committee appointed by the immediate Past Branch Chairman, Mr. Levi Adikwone. The NBA’s appointed the Branch Electoral Monitoring Committee (BEMC) to investigate the complaints and make appropriate recommendations to the leadership of the NBA. “You are aware that in its recommendations the BEMC indicted some members of the Ikorodu Branch Electoral Committee set up by the past chairman of the Branch and advised that the Branch Electoral Committee be dissolved. Accordingly, the Electoral was dissolved. In fact, the Chairman of the committee honourably resigned his membership. Hence, the Committee was dissolved. “You are also aware that on the 30th Day of June 2018, a three (3) member Caretaker Committee led by Prince Bisi Ademuwagun was appointed to conduct fresh elections in Ikorodu Branch on or before the 23rd of July 2018. It is therefore very disheartening that you have deliberately refused and/or neglected to abide by this directive by continuing to address yourself as the Chairman of NBA Ikorodu Branch. I hereby reiterate by that there IS NO ELECTED CHAIRMAN of NBA Ikorodu Branch until conduct of fresh election by the Caretaker Committee led by Prince Bisi Ademuwagun,” he added. ]]>
