This is contained in a confidential notice memo sent to all the members of the council reconvening a meeting for Nov. 25 in Ibadan.
“Going ahead with any meeting now before the expiration of the tenure of outgoing VC on Nov. 30, is akin to also overlooking the text Prof. Ayoola mistakenly sent exposing the surrespitious moves to impose an unpopular Candidate.

Notice of the meeting is hereby attached:
