With the tenure of the
incumbent administration of NBA-YLF Ikeja Branch Executives coming to an end, a
five man Electoral Committee was inaugurated on the 10th of May,
2018 and date for the NBA-YLF 2018 Election was set for 7th June,
2018. The Electoral Committee was basically saddled with the responsibility of
ensuring a free and fair election. The
Electoral committee promptly swung into action, held several meetings where
guidelines were promulgated, and list of eligible voters were compiled and
passed across to members. In as much as
there was limited time for the five man electoral committee to make
preparations for the election, they proved to be up to the task.

The outcome of the
election on the 7th of June,2018 was quite remarkable as the post of
Chairman ended up as a tie with 21 votes apiece and a void vote. This geared up
an interesting momentum as the electoral committee quickly deliberated amongst
themselves and decided Monday, 11th June, 2018 as the run off date.
Interestingly, it is remarkable of note that Tunji Akinyemi,Esq. had declared
his intention ofcontesting for the post of NBA-YLF Chairman long before the
election while Ezekiel Bodunde,Esq. only declared his intention barely a week
before the election. On the other hand,
Olubukola Adebiyi,Esq. emerged the winner for the post Vice-Chairman.

Electoral Committee. While Tunji Akinyemi,Esq. had 19 votes, Bodunde Ezekiel,Esq.

father this Friday 15th June, 2018 at Ilupeju- Ekiti State.
