Comrade Francis Izuchukwu Ejikeme has been removed from his position as Students Union Government (SUG) President following an impeachment.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that
In a related development, the Vice President, Comrade Onyinyechi Nwachukwu, was sworn today, July 23, 2024, at the Giant House, to act and oversee the office of the SUG President.
According to a letter signed by the Senate President of the 30th House, Ozoelom Precious Oluchukwu, and the Chief Clerk, Amagba Gloria Akuoma, the impeachment was based on several allegations.
The allegations include his instigation of a protest and facilitation of a press conference against the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Pro Chancellor, and University Governing Council, in violation of Section 39 of the SUG constitution.
This section mandates that the President must secure approval from two-thirds of the entire union membership before declaring any demonstration or confrontation on behalf of the union.
Additionally, Comrade Ejikeme was accused of usurping the constitutional powers of the SUG Vice President by organizing the students’ week, in breach of Section 41(f) of the SUG constitution, among other allegations.
