However, mixed feelings was observed by some of the students as they reacted.
While some claim it wasn’t fair enough others think otherwise.
Ashaolu an ND I student of Mass communication said "We all watch it from the start Mogaji does not deserve the 3rd position, Barakat delivered well than her".
Also an HND 1 student said "Emmanuel Alabi should be among the winners either 1st,2nd or 3rd.she further said mogaji does not deserve the 3rd position.
Olawale another HND 1 student said" To me Suliyat Mogaji didn’t communicate but I can pick little things from what Emmanuel said, it’s only the 2nd position that is just".
Speaking with PCM, AMACOS Chief of Staff, Ifeoluwa Egunjobi said" I think Emmanuel or babakay will emerge as the winner am not among the judge’s but I think why Alabi Emmanuel was not chosen was because he use some negative words and he deliver the last speech of a lecturer in a thug way".
He however, commended Emmanuel, one of the competitors who is an ND1 student for making it to the final stage.
"Am really impressed about Emmanuel because for him who is an ND I student to make it to final stage it’s shows he is brilliant".
