Lillyville blog: NYSC Band Akure elects new Officials

NYSC band Akure elected new officials into different offices today as the outgoing Batch B stream1and 2 officials stepped down from their various posts after rendering a service of humility and selflessness to the Band CDS group.

The election kicked off as the outgoing president, Ojedeji Emmanuel introduced the candidates to other corps members for final recognition. Afterwards, the candidates were called upon for their manifestos, starting from the Provost to the president.

Each aspiring candidate was on a hot sit today because no one was certain about the votes and who will be the winner except those who were unopposed could make bold that they will have the support of other corps members.

On the other hand, the electoral committees along side with the president ensured the smoothness of the election and everything was done in thorough orderliness. Every corps member was given a chance to vote for his/her favourite candidates that deems fit for the post.

After the votes were casted, the electoral committees treated the votes with uttermost integrity and honesty by ensuring that everyone’s votes count. It could be recalled that no votes was rigged or by any chance miscounted.

After the votes were counted, the electoral chairman, Corps member Bamidele Oludare announced the winners for each posts both opposed and unopposed, in an anti-climax order, starting from the provost down to the president.

For fairness and hope, those who did not emerge as winners, were given a chance to fill other posts that were considered empty. It could be recalled that those candidates who voluntarily gave themselves up to occupy those posts were satisfied in their hearts and are determined to do a better job in their new positions.

All the winners were called out for Corps members to see the faces of their new leaders and old officials handed over their mantle of leadership to the newly elected NYSC Akure Band CDS officials. Everyone was happy and cheerful at the end of the election. No one is a looser, everyone is a winner. If you do not win at something that does not mean you will lose next time.
