The Acting President of National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), Michael Kwabena Amoah, has stated that relative peace has been restored in NUGS following legal battle over who is the rightful President of NUGS at court.
An Accra High Court ordered Michael Kwabena Amoah, the Chief Justice of National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) to act as President of the union after Julian Mawuse Cobbinah and Luqman Abubakari were fighting over who is the rightful President of NUGS.
This judgment was part of a ruling that also barred Julian Mawuse Cobbinah and Luqman Abubakari from parading themselves as Presidents of NUGS.
Cobbinah maintains he was duly elected as President of NUGS during a congress held at Hohoe in the Volta Region.
Meanwhile, Abubakari also stands by his claim that a different and equally legitimate NUGS election congress was held at Ideal College campus in Accra, electing him in the process.
The High Court judge Justice (Mrs) Naa Adoley Azu ruled last week Thursday that none of the litigants should carry himself as President of the union until the substantive case has been heard and final ruling handed out.
The Acting President, Michael Kwabena Amoah has said that calm has been restored following his appointment.
“Calm has been restored after I was appointed as the acting president and I believe my fellow colleagues can hold on for now, we are one people and there is nothing wrong again,” he said.
This ruling also puts aside all appointments made by any of the two litigants during the period for which they were acting as President of NUGS.
