Totally have nothing against them but it seems so unprofessional that we just left other legitimate candidates in the air (Ibeanusi for example) and rushed to choose them. Furthermore, why should the elected candidates serve 1-2 years? We’re pushing for ad hoc elections because of the current co-chairs’ disqualification so the smartest move would be to elect new ones in the next meeting. Seems fishy, that’s all. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">p.s.: Disqualifying Anthony is also questionable because the grounds for disqualification does not even exist in the CPM but only on a deadline (one which could be probably extended or given enough leeway for others) and does not discourage participation from anybody in every walk of life. IMO, Anthony should also be still in the running.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Steffie</div></div></div>
