OAU students have had one or two things to say as regards the Secretary General’s CGPA saga. Some have taken to the social media in defense and attack of the final year Political science student.
Following the investigations of the Electoral Petition Committee, Hon. Seun Oketooto had been found to have a CGPA of 2.48, instead of the minimum 2.5, and as such, was not eligible to run for any office.
In a statement dated 14th of June, one Mr Moshood Odunayo on Facebook has called on the current Secretary-General to vacate his office.
In the statement he said that Hon. Seun did not deserve the title “Honourable”. He said
“I can only refer people with the appellation ‘honourable’ only if they do honourable things which has inspire both born and unborn generation. How can you expect me to refer someone who forge his C.G.P.A as an Honourable as his being referred to by his political glutton admirers?”
He also condemned his refusal to step aside for the first runner-up, Ibiyemi, to assume office. He described the silence of the CEC on the whole matter as “very shameful”.
He advised the CEC to take an official position before it became too late. He called on all student to resist any forms of illegality and called for the immediate swearing-in of Ibiyemi.
Likewise, one Wole Shoniyon believes the part four Psychology student brought disgrace to Great Ife and described him as a bad example.
However, Sammy H Peters, former Sec Gen aspirant is of the opinion that the minimum 2.5 CGPA is not constitutional and that there is no academic requirement in the Great Ife Sacrosanct Constitution.
The Students’ union is still silent on the issue and has refused to release any statement to address it.
