NANS moves against Ajimobi’s re- election

National Association of Nigerian
Students (NANS), has vowed to mobilise
its members against the re-election of
Senator Abiola Ajimobi as governor of
Oyo State next month.

The group made this known at a press
conference addressed by its Assistant
General Secretary, Zone D, Oloja
Olanrewaju on Wednesday in Ibadan,
the Oyo State capital.
Olanrewaju, accompanied by over 150
other student leaders from Oyo, Osun,
Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos and Ogun State, said it
was unfortunate that the government
compelled graduating students to pay
N750 with the promise to give them
bursary but said nothing had been heard
about the promise since two years ago.

He described the collection of fees with
a promise of getting bursary as a way to
extort and further pauperise indigent
Nigerian students.
“As a result of the insensitivity of
Governor Isiaq Ajimobi-led
administration to the plight of students,
the leadership of NANS, Zone D, thus
pass a vote of no confidence on
Governor Isiaq Ajimobi and will thus
mobilise students against his re-election
come 2015", he added.

The group also condemned the
government’s slow pace in taking steps
concerning the House of Horror
uncovered in Ibadan, saying since the
discovery, nothing had been heard about
it again.

Olanrewaju while urging members of the
union across the South-West region to
collect their PVCs and vote for credible
candidates who will further their
educational advancement and protect
their mandate as future leaders.
