Emmanuel Thomas l Monday, September 04, 2017
LAGOS, Nigeria – The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS has described Chinonso Obasi as an impersonator and called on the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris to arrest him.
Mr. Aruna Khadire, who described himself as the authentic President of NANS said in a statement that Chinonso Obasi does not represent the interest of Nigerian students.
“We equally call on the Inspector General of Police to immediately arrest Mr Chinonso Obasi and his group who are parading themselves as NANS official. They are impostors and never represent the interest of Nigerian students.
” I am the dully, responsible elected NANS President”, he said, adding that the same Chinonso Obasi was arrested at the National Assembly for the same impersonation and that he is now back at it again.
He said gone are the days when unionism was synonymous with the opposition, when the slogan ‘we been the leaders of tomorrow’ was invoked. “Now we are the leaders of today and must be seen to be behaving like leaders and “not rascals as Obasi is doing moving from one office to the other asking for alms”, he alleged.
He called on ASUU to as a matter of urgency return to the negotiating table with government to ensure that the strike is called off for students to return to their classes.
“Today all that is needed by all of us ASUU inclusive is a sacrifice to move Nigeria forward. No sector of the Nigerian economy is faring better and ASUU should not think otherwise. We appreciate the concern of ASUU for good education but they should also see the sincerity of the economy of the moment.
“In view of this, NANS gives ASUU one week to resume or face our enormous protest”, he said.
