OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE TRIPATITTE COLLABORATION OF AMEU ON THE SUSPENSION OF AN INGRATE IN PETER YANCY - DECEMBER 11, 2020
The Tripartite Collaborating Students’ Movement of the African Methodist Episcopal University, an altruistic and students’ centered movement that comprises of the Alternative Students Congress (ASC) which towers as the numero uno for building consciousness and the bulwark for the interest of the students masses at the African Methodist Episcopal University, Team MAS and Team YANCY salutes all cadres and militants of our revolutionary movement and sundry committees.
In the quest of establishing an uncompromising and staunch students’ movement to foster the principle of egalitarianism, practice the doctrine of left wing politics, and provide political direction, a group of astute and conscious minded students converged in 2016 to create a blueprint of their vision.
It was so, that they decided to join forces under one umbrella and named themselves: "The Alternative Students Congress"(ASC); cognizant of the varieties of choices and ways to achieve their desired goals as a Pan-African revolutionary students movement, for the Palm Tree in the AMEU Seal/logo represents an institution with a variety of choices; thus, the name (Alternative Students Congress) resonated and became recognized by the student populace, faculty, staff and other student groupings and remains a major factor in any student general elections on AMEU Campus evidenced by its political influence, and History of robust and uncompromising students’ advocacy.
Following that, the group became to extend her boundaries in affinity with its mission of introducing sound students’ related programs (Academic and Social cultural or Entrepreneurial) and student related policies to positively impact the students of AME University whilst providing political direction, and scrutinizing potential individuals and teams with political intentions to serve the students populace, and a vision of reawaking the spirit of fair and rewarding students politics, academics stature, as well as social organizations that would enhance a better and open environment to all.
Going forward, during the 2018/2019 academic year, ASC incorporated ''Team MAS" through a political matrimony, and supported then candidate Mildette A. Somah; thus, securing her victory in the freshman class election after winning the ASC primary and succeeding ASC’s first and astute candidate in person of ideologue cadre Nathan N. Gbelee.
Hence, the Alternative Students Congress has continuously provided political directions on the campus of AMEU by endorsing and supporting candidates and political movements in every strata of electoral activities ranging from freshman to the senior classes.
Against such putative backdrop, on October 16, 2019, the Alternative Students Congress (ASC) and the Movement of Astute Students (Team MAS) agreed to incorporate Team YANCY into their political marriage.
Accordingly, a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) was signed by the three (3) movements with crystal clear terms and conditions exclusively earmarking the roles and responsibilities of each movement beginning then and going forward; thus, forming a tripartite collaboration.
Going forward, the ASC and Team MAS lived up to the commitments enshrined in the Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between the movements as clearly inscribed in section 2 of the MOU “. The movements have discussed the possibilities of forming a collaboration, stating that:
a) Team YANCY must firstly become a full fleshed member of the ASC - Team MAS' collaboration, thereby bringing the movements to a tripartite movement/ Collaboration.
b) After winning elections, Team YANCY and Team MAS must remain in close consultation with the ASC in every decision – making process and activities.
c) All teams (Team MAS and Team YANCY and ASC) must attend executive meetings of each team.
d) The Alternative Students Congress must provide strategic support and canvass for Team YANCY and Team MAS in the 2019/20 freshman class election.
Likewise, Team MAS and Team YANCY must do same with the ASC.
e) All teams must ensure mutual respect and understanding among each other by working together and properly communicating, planning and implementing political and social activities.
Accordingly, the ASC and Team MAS ensured that team YANCY was properly politically capacitated, and directed the formation of Team YANCY’s campaign platform, canvassed, prepared Peter Yancy for the electoral debate.
On the contrary, the political leader of Team YANCY and current Freshman president Peter Yancy has refused to abide by the terms of agreement of the MOU based on his deceptive actions, character semblance of betrayal to that of Peter in the Bible who denied Jesus thrice and violation of section two (2) d and e of the MOU which states:
“The movements have discussed the possibilities of forming a collaboration, stating that:
(d) The Alternative Students Congress must provide strategic support and canvass for Team YANCY and Team MAS in the 2019/20 freshman class election. Likewise, Team MAS and Team YANCY must do same with the ASC.
(e) All teams must ensure mutual respect and understanding among each other by working together and properly communicating, planning and implementing political and social activities.
In the full existence of such MOU that the chairman of team YANCY has his John Hancock (Signature) on; according to reliable and credible intelligence received by the tripartite collaboration, Peter Yancy impudently pledged his support to the candidacy of Kollie Moore, former candidate of the Strategic Thinkers, and a non-member of the tripartite collaboration who came 3rd during the 2017/2018 freshman election that brought the ASC’s first candidate Cadre Ideologue Nathan N. Gbelee to power.
With shared respect, and practice of due diligence, the tripartite collaboration invited Peter Yancy to several meetings through formal communications to iron things out and hear his account especially after the information of his (Peter Yancy) back-pedaling, double standard politics and Nichodemus approach was again confirmed by Kollie Moore who in a joint meeting with the tripartite collaboration publicly said Peter Yancy and the the political leader of Team Mas, and Freshman Preident emeritus (2018/2019) Mildette A. Somah agreed to support his bid for the senior class presidency and they have been working on said cause.
With such revelation, the Alternative Students Congress cited the two accused leaders of both Team MAS and Team YANCY to a meeting with Kollie Moore to ascertain the information, but only Mildette A. Somah attended the meeting and dismissed Kollie Moore’s accusation and reaffirmed her commitment to the tripartite collaboration on grounds of the existing MOU.
Still wanting to do the right thing as exemplary student leaders, the tripartite collaboration gave Peter Yancy another opportunity to clear his name but he remains dumbfounded and even more recalcitrant; thus, compelling the tripartite collaboration to make this decision; agreeing through majority vote to suspend the membership of Peter Yancy with immediate effect until all election activities for this semester are over.
Henceforth, the tripartite Collaboration hereby suspends Mr. Peter I. Yancy, freshman president and political leader of Team Yancy with immediate effect; until all election activities for this semester are over, and warns that anyone doing business with Peter Yancy under the ambience of the tripartite collaboration will be doing so at their own risk.
Meanwhile, the tripartite collaboration urges its members to place the Collaboration’s interest above personal interest, and also encourages its members to disengage from activities that have the temerity to undermine our irreversible aims and objectives; as the collaboration will soon provide information about the participation of its member movements in the ensuing political process on campus.
Motto (ASC): “NOTHING FOR US WITHOUT US FOR AMEU DESERVES BETTER”
