MWUN leadership, under Comrade Francis Bunu Abi, emphasized that while the union recognizes the right of every member to participate or contest the union's elective positions, it is imperative that contestants and members abide by the rules of the union. The union will not hesitate to deal decisively or sanction any contestant or member who flouts this standing order, as it will not compromise its peaceful status over whatsoever reason in the guise of elective positions campaign.
