The Students Union President of the Obafemi Awolowo University, (OAU) Edward Oyekan has been impeached for allegedly associating with suspected cult members into the school by iviting them into the school.
According
to members of the Parliament, Edward has committed a
series of impeachable offence and impeaching him is a not a very bad thing.
The Speaker of the Students parliament, Falayi Temitope said the president was removed over gross misconducts which include an attack on students.
He said, “Mr.
Oyekan Ibukun Edward, impeached OAU students’ union president, was
impeached because he cannot be trusted on matters as regards students’
security.
“He allowed students
to be beaten black and blue by cultists who were conveyed to and fro the
university premises in a bus which was meant to be in the custody of
the president. He did invite the cultists that came to attack students
at the university students’ union building on November 1st, 2017”.

Another member of the parliament, Odetoyinbo Fiyin praised the impeachment of the president.
"I
strongly believe that the impeachment of the president has been
lingering for a long time. He has committed so many misconducts, he is
also known for absconding congresses"
Oluwatosin Iyiola accused the president of bringing cult members into the school campus using the union bus.
“The
president was alleged to have invited cultists into the campus to
attack students in a parliamentary sitting that he called which was held
Wednesday, November 1. The cultists who came to attack our students
were conveyed to and fro the university campus with the union bus and he
masterminded the attack.
“This
is an archetype that cultism is likely to return and history should not
be allowed to repeat itself. The resolution of the parliament as regards
the impeachment of the union president is valid and there is no going
back.”
Meanwhile, the impeached president has reacted to his sack in a statement saying his impeachment was null and void.
The statement reads in part, “my
attention has been drawn to news flying around social media that the
president has been impeached, the secretary general and public relations
officer of the union have been suspended for two weeks.
“May I use this medium to inform you all that it is not true and not in tandem with the sacrosanct Constitution of our union.
“The
Parliament has 150 honourables and only 37 honourables voted for the
impeachment of the president against zero. This is evident of their
sinister plan and motive,”
It will be recalled that the students union body in OAU recently fought bloody over N3.8m largesse.

in retaliation to the headbutt she received from Emmanuel.
