POLITICS TODAY - (FABAMSSA ELECTIONS)
Analysis By: Prince Iniobong MR. PULSE
The political climate within the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences Students’ Association (FABAMSSA) has taken a decisive turn as two leading contenders, Victoria Imafidon and Anointed Peru, who both of which are from the Department of Human Physiology (SPAN) emerge at the center of the 2026 presidential race.
The unfolding development began when the National Association of Edo State Students (NAESS) formally declared its support for Victoria Imafidon.
The endorsement was issued through an official letter bearing the association’s letterhead, signaling structured and institutional backing for her candidacy.
Political observers within the faculty described the move as a strong statement of organized support, indicating that Victoria’s campaign may be anchored on established academic and state-based student networks.
However, the development did not go unanswered.
In what many now interpret as a direct political response, the National Association of Delta State Students (NADESSTU) has officially replied NAESS with its own endorsement — this time in support of Anointed Peru.
Like the earlier endorsement, NADESSTU’s position was communicated through an official letter on its letterhead, further emphasizing the seriousness of the political alignment.
The exchange of formal endorsements between the two student bodies has effectively transformed the FABAMSSA presidential contest into a structure-backed showdown, drawing clear political lines ahead of the election.
For many students, this is no longer just a routine departmental race. Instead, it is now seen as a contest between two organized blocs, each rallying behind its preferred candidate.
Supporters of Victoria Imafidon believe the NAESS endorsement reflects strong confidence in her leadership capacity, grassroots connection, and ability to represent the interests of students within the faculty.
On the other hand, backers of Anointed Peru view the NADESSTU endorsement as a sign of wider alliance-building and strategic support across student networks, positioning him as a formidable contender in the race.
The use of official letterheads by both associations has also added a formal and institutional tone to the political exchange, suggesting that both camps are prepared for a serious and competitive election season.
With both candidates now enjoying structured endorsements, attention is gradually shifting to independent voters within the faculty, who may ultimately determine the final outcome at the polls.
As campaigns continue to build momentum, expectations are rising for what many believe could become one of the most strategic and closely contested elections in recent FABAMSSA history.
One thing is certain — the race is now clearly defined.
IMAFIDON VS PERU.
STRUCTURE VS STRUCTURE.
FABAMSSA DECIDES 2026.
