The election of the National Executive Council of the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU), the central body of all social-cultural associations in Ilorin Emirate, has been declared inconclusive.
The election billed as part of the 48th annual delegates conference of IEDPU elicited concerns from delegates across the country who attended the conference.
A number of delegates who spoke with our reporter expressed dismay that some machinations employed left much to be desired about the conduct of the election.
Mallam Usman Oladimeji, a delegate from Sokoto State, said due process for the conduct of any democratic election was not followed, thus the election was inconclusive.
In a chat with our reporter, Mallam Oladiemji said opportunity was not given to the members in attendance for another nomination to be made before some delegates went into the said inconclusive election.
He expressed concern that any election in that circumstance where people are denied opportunity of nominating candidates of their choice was a denial of justice, fair play and equity and a manifestation of undemocratic tendencies.
Meanwhile, the following people have been declared elected during the purported election: Alhaji AbdulHameed Adi, as National President, Dr S.A. Adebayo, Deputy National President, four national Vice Presidents and 14 other executive officers.
