The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), has decried the use of students for political purposes.
The student body stated that it would not allow its members to be manipulated for purposes contrary to the national interest.
According to a statement issued by its President, Comr. Lucky Emonefe, NANS believes that the nation’s unity and stability must be preserved, and any attempt to use students as pawns in political games must be strongly opposed.
“We wish to draw attention to a grave situation involving a faceless individual who has been actively calling for protests against the federal government.
“We call on President Tinubu to take immediate and decisive action to investigate this matter and hold those responsible accountable.
“The unity and stability of our nation must be preserved, and any attempt to use students as pawns in political games must be condemned in the strongest terms.
“NANS firmly believes that such actions are not only irresponsible but also dangerous.
“NANS remains committed to advocating for the rights and welfare of Nigerian students and the broader Nigerian populace. We will not stand by while our platform is manipulated for purposes that do not serve the interests of our members or the nation.
“We appeal to Governor Dapo Abiodun to cease recognising the NANS faction holding a programme in Abeokuta on Thursday because the said faceless factions are allegedly calling for protest against the President,” the statement said.
