There was diverse opinions on the undue over stay in office of the current FOSSU NATIONAL executives as it was termed as total rape of the union CONSTITUTION which stipulates 12 calendear months for a single tenure and a bad precedent for the coming generations of our pace setter state having asumed office officially march 2017. All these were addressed appropriately and unravelled issues which contributed to the tactical elongation of the present executive tenure ranging from the bursary struggle from the Central Executive and the issues on the Constitution Amendments from the Senate Arm, it was observed there were series of breach of constitution positions in the constituting and the composition of the said constitution amendments Committee set-up, it was observed the committee never hold any meeting since it was constituted and never brought any part of the proposed amendment to read at any Senate sitting for hearing and the whole congress emphasised their roles and responsibilities in the process of any amendments to the Constitution.

It was at this point Comrade Kilotomo Rafiu Adeyemi from the Polytechnic Ibadan and from Okeogun axis frown at the deliberate acts from the present FOSSU NATIONAL leadership to tactically remain in office and thus awoken the power of the Congress be used to call an end to the pranks of the present leadership and call a spade a spade and not a hoe. He then moved a motion to suspend all the stand-in committees and sub committes both from the Central Executive and the Senate arm with immediate effect and most importantly the controversial constitution amendments Committee set up be supsended and stay actions for the next FOSSU NATIONAL new regime to continue should they deem it neccessary by them as governance is a continuum, this motion for all committes suspension was duelly seconded by comrade Adewale Mutiu from EACOED, oyo.

There after Comrade Alao Oluwasegun Oluwatobi from lautech and Ogbomos axis during his presentation opined and thanked the sagacity of comrade Kilotomo Rafiu from Okeogun for awoken the dieing spirit of comradeship in the whole students of Oyo state and alleged if not the whole students in the state are slumbering how on earth will a tenure of one year be tactically elongated into two and half years with out any student in the state raising any observation or taking any step to cub the militarian manner of the present FOSSU leadership; on that notes Comrade Alao Segun thereby raised the need for the total disengage of the present FOSSU NATIONAL executive to usher in new and fresh blood to take the mantle of fossu national leadership; thus based on the power converred on the Congress of the Union as enshrined in the Union noble constitution moved a motion to dissolved both the Central Executive Council and the Senate arm of the federation of oyo state students union (FOSSU) with immediate effect this motion led to struggle between the Congress and the present FOSSU NATIONAL executive at the Congress but the intervention of notable stakeholders present was able to settle and calm all factions with diverse opinion on the motion and later on the Mation was able to be duelly seconded by Comrade Tayo Abdulahi from University of ilorin and from ibarapa axis. There was no counter motion as all congress men collectively agreed on the long over stayed in office of the current FOSSU NATIONAL leadership and thus the motion stands and FOSSU NATIONAL LEADERSHIP STANDS DISSOLVED IMMEDIATELY.
