By Ogunlaja Oluwanifesimi Comrade Olayiwola Ayodeji, popularly known as Stakeholder, has been disqualified from the 33rd Lagos State University Students' Union presidential race due to a violation of the LASUSU Electoral Act.  The Independent Electoral Committee (LASUSU-IEC) announced the disqualification alongside other presidential screening results on February, 2022, just two days before the LASUSU General election. According to the LASUSU-IEC, Stakeholder breached Section 9(2)b of the electoral act by sponsoring advertisements for his political campaign through his faculty's Ad-Hoc IEC via WhatsApp. The disqualification has sparked divided reactions among Stakeholder's supporters, with some demanding evidence to support the IEC's claim and others awaiting Stakeholder's decision on potential legal action.
