*Concerned AAU alumni frowns at National EXCO’s alleged highhandedness, others* 


Chairmen of the Ambrose Alli University Alumni Association have frowned on alleged misconduct and high headedness of the self-styled Worldwide Association’s Executive members led by Prof. Omi Ujuanbi, who deliberately violated the association’s constitution in an attempt to create a self-perpetuating cabal.


The concerned Chairmen of Branches and members condemned the situation whereby Prof. Omi Ujuanbi constituted himself a sole administrator to allot positions to stooges, some of whom were not qualified, in order to cover for his inability to render accounts of stewardship.


In a press statement, the chairmen said that the terms of a settlement in Suit No. HEK/30/2015 entered as the judgement of conduct of the High Court, Ekpoma has been flagrantly violated.


The statement was signed by Chairman, Lagos Branch, AUU Alumni Association, Frank Egboh; his counterpart at the Benin Branch, Hon. Fidelis Ogbejele; and other concerned members, including Emmanuel Osayimwen and Francis Umeh.


They further noted after a meeting of concerned chairmen and members of the school’s Alumni Association on Saturday March 16, 2019, observations and resolutions were reached, concluding that there was flagrant and deliberate disregard of the constitution of the Alumni Association in the conduct of the October, 2018 Annual General Meeting amongst other serious violations of the Constitution.


“There is highhandedness of some group of persons within the Association with the sole aim of institutionalizing a cabal. The clandestine attempts by the accused Executive and their collaborators to illegally constitute a body to investigate itself with a view to coming up with an orchestrated finding,” they averred.


They said the observations made on the series of petitions, complaints, grievances and worries are serious enough for the appropriate authorities of the Association to give it a critical look, as they will ultimately save the dwindling image of the Association and by extension that of our great institution.


They warned that the neglect and or failure of those concerned to urgently intervene will no doubt plunge the Association into legal battle which will ultimately lead to another crisis.
