Introduction
PSSMOSA is Police Secondary School Minna Old Student Association. R-PSSMOSA is Reformed. The R-PSSMOSA consists of members of different graduated sets of Police Secondary School Minna who have come together as a result of the injustices perpetuated by the electoral committee which conducted the National Elections of PSSMOSA in 2019. The different graduate sets have raised concerns through multiple petitions rejecting the outcome and condemning the process of the elections.
As a result, those petitions were collated and all the aggrieved groups decided to come together to form R-PSSMOSA in order to ensure justice and FairPlay, and also to bring an end to the growing culture of corruption which have since overtaken the organization.
The National Elections and irregularities.
Firstly, we would want to refer to the electoral guideline given to each set by the Electoral Committee;
The last point (
clearly stated that “At the end of each set voting, the counting will be done inside the created WhatsApp group and the result for each set will be announced in the set representative WhatsApp group, where all the collation of election result from all set will be made public. The final result will be jointly collated and counted by all set representative, electoral committee, Independent Electoral Observers and winners will be announced”.The above point was however not adhered to (Proof available)
Secondly, six votes were cancelled from 2006 set citing reasons to double voting and making statement in the designated WhatsApp group that was meant for voting purpose alone. It could have been accepted by them if only the voters actually deleted any votes they made which was not the case, the comments were posted erroneously as the group name is similar to the set WhatsApp group, upon realizing this, they quickly deleted their comments.
Thirdly, it was shocking and disturbing that the chairperson of the electoral committee failed to stand by the glaring truth. She deemed Kazeem Suleiman (2002 set member) ineligible to vote, despite evidence of payment of eligibility dues and a chat conversation confirming details of payment by the financial Secretary. That is ridiculous.
Fourthly, we are not satisfied with the composition of the Electoral Committee. It was designed to favor some sets, the five (5) panel of Electoral Committee in which two (2) amongst the committee member are from same set. This will not be accepted as it affects the process of the election and the outcome eventually.
However, we recommend questions and answer session for the sake of our Association. If we may ask, WHY did one of the Observers (Major Jafaru Bello) publicly condemned the election and referred to it “a shame”?
Submission
Consequent to the inactions of the electoral committee to do the right thing, we want to declare the following
1. We reject the National Elections of PSSMOSA held in 2019, in its entirety without any reservation whatsoever.
2. We do not recognize any new leadership, and we want an immediate reconstitution a new electoral committee among neutral persons with through nominations from 7 set representatives.
3. We call for a fresh election to usher in democratically elected leadership under a more cohesive platform which will allow inclusion and transparency. Or even be held in a secret ballot election practically at election ground
4. We also call a mandate to be given at the congress to foster the reform of PSSMOSA to prevent future mismanagement of the organisation.
If the following is not done within 72 hours, we shall take further actions that are necessary to ensure that justice will be served.
God bless our great Alma-mater.
Signed. Hon. Fidelis Isah
Mohammed Mubarak.
For
1997-2019 set (through the set representative)
