Inyali Emerges New Unicross Alumni President

Baring any last minute changes, Dr. Inyali Peter is set to emerge as the new national President of the University of Cross River State (Unicross) Alumni Association.

Inyali, a graduate of Mass Communication from the University and former Students' leader was the only Presidential candidate screened and cleared in a list released and jointly signed by the Electoral Committee Chairman and Secretary, Comrades Victor Agbor and John Utibe, respectively.

Two other candidates, Andrew Ntul and Jumbo Isek were disqualified; while Ntul according to the release by the electoral board was disqualified for withdrawing from the race and not attending the screening, Isek on the other hand was disqualified for not meeting the constitutional requirements to contest for the office.

Inyali will be ratified during the 5th National Convention of the association holding at the U.J Esuene Stadium, Calabar, tomorrow, December 12.

When contacted to react to his eminent victory, Inyali said that although he has been announced as the sole candidate for the position, his victory is not yet official as executives of the association can only emerge in the floor of the national convention.

He said: "we have worked so hard to get to the level we are now. For me, even though I can confirm that I have seen the official release where I was the only candidate screened and cleared for the position of national President, I can still not been recognised as President because only a validly constituted convention can determine that.

Hopefully, we will react formally tomorrow if and when the convention ratifies me. Remember that the convention can still refuse to ratify me. So, we are calm and awaiting for the outcome of the convention tomorrow."
