According to Modibo, only 438 voters, representing 47 per cent of 924 eligible voters participated at the elections, held virtually between July 9 and July 15, this year.
Congratulating the winners, the institute’s president and Chairman of Council, Mr Tony Agenmonmen, enjoined the winners to abide by their campaign promises, so as to enable them to move the institute forward.
“We should let the world know that we are professionals. That is why I will enjoin the winners not to behave like the regular politicians, who make promises without the intention of honouring them,” Agenmonmen stated.
He commended the losers for putting up a good ‘fight’ at the polls, adding that their inability to make it at the polls should not discourage them from contributing their quotas to the development of the institute.
“I contested in 2014 and lost. But that never discouraged me from contributing my quota to the growth of the institute, till I was elected two years later,” Agenmonmen stated.
Describing the elections as free, fair and very transparent, the NIMN boss added that the process ensured that every eligible member, willing to participate at the elections, was given the opportunity to do so.
