    There was no election in the office of vice president (Special Duties), any attempt to further declare him winner will be the highest injustice I've ever heard. Lastly, what ever the outcome, we will not be aloof, we will move on. ALUTA CONTINUA!

    If a declaration of unopposed candidate is made, the election is not held. I am an eye & bear witness that the position of vice president special duties didn't hold. The convention committee just went ahead and declared Marcus as the winner, just because the governor of that state gave them morney. The senators protested for over 30 mins before the election continue. This is bad, we must all be kidding ourselves if we said that NANS these days is doing well. Comr. Marcus didn't deserve congratulation as he didn't win any election. Hmm! Aluta retardia

    YES! Olaiya said it all. This is exactly what happened in the ground. There was no election in that office, though other position conducted were free and fair. Marcus was never elected into any office as far as NANS is concern. The position of VP Special Duties is vacant, period.
