FPE SU ELECTION: PICK UP THE MIRROR BUT DON’T BREAK IT By Reporter G.song
As Students in Federal Polytechnic Ede will, today, elect executives to paddle the affair of the student union, all Is set For a decisive SU election in the School and the burning question remains who the odds will Favour?
Recent times,following the re- instatement of the student’s body much energy have been dissipated by the union on mundane issues, rather than on fundamental matters bordering on the welfarism of students and good governance. And that is why thousands of students of great Polytechnic Ede will today troop out en masses to vote their choice of leaders .
The Independent Student Electoral Commission(ISEC) in the School, owe the students surety of duty to deliver a transparent, credible and acceptable election of which the first step to achieving the feat is by acting as an unbiased umpire.
As well the Election process should be supervised amidst tight security whereas the hired security personnel are to man polling units and strategic locations in the School to forestall the breakdown of law and order during the process of the election till the whole exercise lasted .
Your vote is the only way to speak, it is your voice, hence it is important to use the powers of the mind logically,cognitively and methodically to choose leaders who are far ahead of time; who has foresight and insight to navigate the terrains of leadership and bring every student of Federal Polytechnic Ede to a place of realization of their dreams and potentials .
Want to commend all vying Candidates for participating in today politics even in an academic environment,having possessed significance of minds that politics does not insulate one from academic rigour in the Polytechnic and that the demands of politics and studies can be intimidating.
To judiciously harmonize the two attention-demanding tasks is not for the laggards. Therefore, it is usually to the credit of student politicians who are able to navigate the two successfully .
Not gainsaid “What distinguishes humans from other animals is the ability to play by the rules at all times, especially during major contests” I will urge the good students of Federal Polytechnic Ede to comport themselves peacefully throughout the period of the election .
With no verbosity I enjoin candidates and students of Federal polytechnic Ede not to see school politics as a do or die affair and not to sow the seed of hatred and disunity before and aftermath the outcome of the elections,they should demonstrate the spirit of oneness, sportmanship, accept the verdict of the election in good fate and work with all elected candidates to move the Union forward .
