The zonal coordinator of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, University of Lagos branch, Prof Adelaja Odukoya, has said that lecturers serving as presiding officers during elections are not representing the union.

He noted that the union should not be held responsible for the outcomes of elections in Nigeria because some of its members serve as electoral officers.

The professor of political science at UNILAG, who spoke with newsmen lamented that Nigerians often linked ASUU members to irregularities that occur during elections.

According to him, ASUU never nominate nor recommend anybody to participate in the elections and what any member did was of their free will.
