the feuding groups and restore peace and amity to the chapter.

the election date last Saturday at the chapter’s weekly meeting, the Chairman
Caretaker Committee, Kamar Hamza said that the election is due to be conducted
before the upcoming national convention to allow the chapter to be led to the
convention by a formally elected executive.
Subsequently,
the congress at the meeting also nominated and inaugurated a 4-member electoral
committee with Sir Muhibb Aslu chairing. Other members of the committee are Mr.
Almamun Mallam, Mrs. Bilkisu Abdulazeez Abarah and Mr Zacham Bayei.
