The election, held at the Union’s Zonal Secretariat along Osogbo/Ikirun road, had Akinsanya as the sole candidate, with delegates from Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti states participating in the voting process.
The election took place during the Union’s Quadrennial Delegate Conference and was observed by acting National President Aliyu Issa-Ore.
