The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has disclaimed any involvement in the planned protest reportedly organized by activist Omoyele Sowore and his associates.
This is as it warned Nigerian students across the country not to be deceived or used by selfish and politically motivated individuals.
President of the association, Olushola Oladoja, made the denial on Thursday while speaking to newsmen at the Federal Cooperative College in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Oladoja also described the reports linking the association to the proposed #FreeNnamdiKanu protest scheduled for October 20th as false, misleading, and mischievous.
Speaking alongside zonal and campus leaders of the student body, Oladoja stated that the national leadership convened the press briefing to set the record straight and protect the integrity of NANS from being dragged into political controversies.
“We wish to state categorically and unequivocally that NANS is not, and will not be, part of any protest organised or influenced by Sowore or any other politically motivated group or individual.
“The entire claim is false, mischievous, and designed to drag the name of our noble Association into political controversies that do not align with our mandate as a student body,” he said.
