[AFRI-Discuss] Finalizing Individual Membership Recommendation

Sun Jul 16 23:25:10 UTC 2017

Hi Peters,

Fortunately and/or unfortunately, I did not see your mail when I raised the
same line of questions earlier.

It will be nice to hear what all the rush is all about.

I remember vividly that even Mr. Tijani raised this particular aspect be
accepted as approved by the house, majority rejected that motion and
advised the Rules of Procedure be revisited afresh in all its entirety.

That is the process I expect the exco to take even if there are any vested
interest as being alleged. There is every probability that if individual
members are taken on today, tomorrow, they will begin to cry for
disfranchisement.

@Seun
You posited such individual will not have right to, will they have to be
nominated into any office?

I will suggest we all trend cautiously and take process of engagement into
consideration
