The Electoral Committee of the Law Students’ Association of Nigeria, LAWSAN, has disclosed that a law student from Rivers State University, Dickson Vincent, is the duly elected President of the association and not Bashiru as claimed by the Caretaker Committee.

In a rebuttal statement issued by the Chairman LAWSAN electoral committee, LECOM, Chibuzor Joseph on Friday, he said the the position of the CTC is illegal, fraudulent and an attempt to usurp authority through the back door.

According to LECOM, the election was successfully conducted on November 27, 2025 and the Dickson-led Executive Committee was sworn-in on November 28, 1025 by the Chief Justice of LAWSAN Hon. Justice Sani Joan.

“As the umpire that conducted the just concluded national elections, we are compelled by our constitutional mandate to set the record straight and correct this blatant misinformation.

“The 2025 LAWSAN National Elections were successfully concluded on 27th November , 2025 under the administration of the 2025 LECOM.

“The declared winners of the election for the 9th National Executive Councils, as announced by LECOM on 27th November, 2025, were: National LAWSAN President: Dickson Vincent, Rivers State University, Vice President External Affairs: Emmanuel Nwaneri Unstoppable, University of Calabar, Vice President Internal Affairs: Matilda Stephen, Nasarawa State University (unopposed).

“Others position include; the Secretary: Ikechukwu Favour, Director of Finance: Alabani Daniel, Director of Welfare: Nathaniel Rachel Abdullahi and Director of Socials: Habeeb Peter.

“The results announced by LECOM remain the ONLY valid, official, and constitutional results of that election. Any other purported declaration is false, illegal and attempt to mislead the general public

“The legitimate and constitutional inauguration of the 9th National Executive Council took place on 28th November, 2025. The Oath of Office was administered by the Chief Justice of LAWSAN Hon. Justice Sani Joan, not by the individuals falsely referenced in your report”.
