Students Accuse Sowore Of Stoking Division In NANS

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), has
accused the proponent of #RevolutionNow, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, of
using his connections in the media to destroy the image of the
association.

Specifically, NANS alleged Sowore of deploying his online medium
to malign the new President of NANS, Sunday Asefon, over his open
declaration that students under him won’t join the #RevolutionNow
activism being spearheaded by him (Sowore).

Asefon won the NANS’ presidential election a couple of weeks ago
in a fierce and keenly contested election, which made his
opposition to initially reject the results before they later
conceded.

A statement issued yesterday by NANS Public Relations Officer,
Southwest (Zone D), Olatunji Nurudeen and made available to
journalists in Ado Ekiti, said it was unprofessional for Sowore,
who had no stake in NANS or contested the presidential election to
allegedly align with the aggrieved students to destroy the
body.

NANS said: “It’s very unfortunate and uncalled for seeing
Omoyele Sowore and his unprofessional media workers publishing news
from illegal sources just to create division in the
association.

“It’s very saddening for Sowore and his primitive partners in
Shahara reporters to be working assiduously to destabilise NANS,
having lured members of our association to join his #RevolutionNow
campaign’ with total rejection from Nigerian Students who know he’s
being sponsored by heartless individuals who don’t want Nigeria to
be peaceful. “

The NANS leader stated that it was disturbing that immediately
after the just concluded National convention of NANS in Abuja,
without adequate findings, that Sowore’s medium had congratulated
another candidate even before official announcement of the actual
winner of the poll.
