Members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council have asked for the immediate removal of its Chairman, Mr Patrick Osadebamwen.
This followed a botched Congress of the NUJ FCT Council held on Saturday to set up a credential committee meant to oversee the election of officials for the Council in December.
Confusion started midway into the Congress, following accusation of biase levelled against Mr Osadebamwen. Osadebamwen was also accused to have flouted provisions of the NUJ Constitution in the nomination process.
At the time of filing this report, Chairman of the NUJ FCT Council and members of his executive have been impeached after signatures were gathered for the impeachment notice.
It was gathered that the State Executive Council (SEC), made up of Chairmen of all the Chapels in NUJ FCT Council have taken over the activities of the Council going forward.
Meanwhile, some elders of the Council, led by Elder Timothy Oloruntoba Elerewe, are currently making efforts to calm the situation to ensure due process is followed.
