NO SOUVENIRS, NO ELECTION

  For far too long, we the students of the University For Development Studies have been taken for granted, we have been disrespected, we have been deceived and we have not been given what is due us as students. We have leaders but we lack leadership. We have bootlickers as leaders. Leaders without 'balls'. Our leaders are not serving our interests. There's so much uselessness and insanity in the system. Simple, simple issues cannot be solved. It is so pathetic. But I believe there's hope. I can see a wind of monumental change blowing through the political scene on campus. A wind of resistance, a wind of hope and an awareness of our importance as students. As I always say, we as students are the most important part of this institution and the moment we begin to behave as such, the sooner our problems will be solved.

  It is on this very note that I declare my support for the on going crusade the level 100s are currently manning. They have decided to boycott the impending SRC/NUGS elections and all matters relating to it until the souvenirs they PAID for in CASH are provided. So right now, no 'candidate' ('candidates' vying for SRC/NUGS portfolios) is allowed to campaign in any of the level 100 classes.  Not only that, they are pursuing other channels like petitioning the SRC President and considering other legal actions in an effort to be given what they dully deserve. Eighty-five cedis per head is not a joke and more to the point, these monies were paid directly to the SRC, so the usual bureaucracy in getting funds from the Administration is not in play. So what then is the problem now? Mr SRC President, why haven't you provided the level 100s the souvenirs they paid for? Hmm, in fact, I cannot hide my joy. I'm very happy such a thing is happening on this campus, it means students are showing interest in how they are governed. I must say that #Nosouvinirsnoelection is a legitimate course and I am totally in support of it. It is high time we stand and fight for our rights. No more apathy. We shall no Longer sit and fold our arms. We are ever ready to hold our leaders accountable. The nonsense is too much. I therefore appeal to all the student body and more especially the level 100s, to fully support this course. Let us unite and fight for our rights. We deserve better.

#Nosouvinirsnoelection is a worthy course to support!!
Thank you.!!
