[ALAC] [AFRI-Discuss] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FROM AFRALO, APRALO AND EURALO FOR THE 2019 AT-LARGE ELECTIONS - Nomination of Abdulkarim Oloyede for ALAC delegate to the NomCom

Dear ALAC members,

I am writing this on the ALAC list copied by the ALAC Chair. As a current
ALAC member from AFRALO, and I am hereby requesting ALAC members to kindly
get her Chair not to interfere on regional matters especially, as the
region isn't going against any written rule.

If the ALAC Chair has a wish on how regions should think and act, then she
should propose it to the ALAC and regional leaders, have it discussed and
made a rule. Every region has its own differences and it's not acceptable
for my ALAC Chair to engage the way she has done during an election period.

I say this with all sense of responsibility and with relevant due respect
FWIW.

Regards

Sent from my mobile
Kindly excuse brevity and typos
