In a dramatic turn of events at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNEC), the recently concluded departmental election for the presidency of the Accounting department has sparked controversy. Jumbo Sotonye, the defeated presidential candidate, has taken legal action against the declared winner, Kalu Innocent, and the Electoral Committee, alleging that the victory was marred by disqualification concerns.
Sotonye, a prominent figure within the Accounting department, has raised serious objections to Innocent's eligibility to contest in the election. According to Sotonye, at the time of the election, Innocent did not meet the requisite qualifications required to run for the position.
