November 06, (THEWILL) – The Federated Correspondents’s Chapel of Nigeria Union of Journalists, Bayelsa State, has resolved to participate in the forthcoming elections of the Nigeria Union of Journalists coming up on November 6, 2024.
The Federated Correspondents’s Chapel, after an exhaustive emergency congress held on Wednesday, at her chapel, stated that the resolution came as a result of the chance of her chapel member, Ebiowei Lawal, to take part in the upcoming Election.
In a Communique signed by TIFE OWOLABI, Chairman of the Congress and Pauline Onyibe, Secretary, it reads that:”That, after exhaustive deliberation, members have resolved to participate in the forthcoming NUJ Bayelsa State Council election scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024.
“That, the decision to partake in the election was taken as a result of the intervention of the National Leadership of the Union in which all grey issues were amicably resolved, consequent upon on the withdrawal of the court case and clearance of a member of the Federated Correspondents’ Chapel, Mr Ebiowei Lawal, to contest the Vice Chairmanship position in the election.
“That, the Federated Correspondents’ Chapel has asked the Credentials Screening Committee to be neutral and provide a fair, level playing field for all candidates during the election.
“That, a member of the FCC chapel, Mr Bassey Willie, who was withdrawn from the Credentials Screening Committee, is hereby, asked to return to his duties.
