The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced the expulsion of the Senate President of the organization Comrade Gambo Abu Muhammed. His expulsion comes on the hills of reports of a purported impeachment of the NANS President, Comrade Bamidele Akpan Danielson.
The Expulsion, according to the statement signed by the National President of NANA, Comrade Bamidele Danielson came following “… an emergency joint senators and stakeholders congress which held today 13th October, 2020, the Senate President is hereby expelled for offences ranging from public extortion, anti organizational activities, illegal co evening of senate meeting on zoom platform, sabotage and gross indiscipline”.
The statement revealed that “The meeting also passed a vote of confidence on the Global President, Comrade Danielson Akpan, GCNS, members of his Executive Council and the 2020 CPC led by Comrade Patrick Afubera”.
The Statement is presented as received;
“NANS EXPELS SENATE PRESIDENT ABUBAKAR GAMBO MOHAMMED FOR PUBLIC EXTORTION, ANTI ORGANIZATION ACTIVITIES, SABOTAGE AND GROSS INDISCIPLINE”.
“Earlier yesterday, the Global Secretariat of NANS issued a statement informing the general public on attempts by some former leaders of NANS who in their desperate mission have ganged up to tarnish the image of the Global President of NANS, cause division in the student movement and also set up a parallel Convention Planning Committee which in accordance with the functions of the Office of the NANS President has since been empaneled after the relaxation of measures announced by the Federal Government in curtailing the spread of COVID 19.”
“Despite the information being in public domain, the desperate merchants, so called former leaders represented at the illegal zoom senate meeting by Ogolo Victory, a former Vice President of NANS in 2005 and Haruna Kadiri, former NANS Zone B coordinator 2006/2007 and factional President in 2017, disgracefully, against the practice, constitution and tradition of NANS, procured with #3 million the Senate President, Abubakar Mohammed Gambo, whose official and constitutional duty ended in March, 2020 to do their illegal bidding.”
“In their myopic tendencies, they organized a zoom senate meeting even after a Pre Convention NANS Senate meeting which held at Enugu in March, 2020, the last assignment of the Senate President and shamelessly impersonated legitimate Student Union Government officials and delivered estopically their long awaited evil plan against Nigerian students whom they have been in the business of trading for monetary gains and particularly the South Western zone of NANS whom the Presidency of NANS is due any moment and for which they have sworn to throw into disunity”.
“Nigerian students have seen through their evil plots and have since from beginning of their inordinate mission till now sworn never to allow them take the students for a ride”.
“The resolve of the outgoing Danielson Akpan led administration is to return to the (Zone D) the Southwest zone of NANS a united Presidency under which NANS can continue to flourish and serve the interest of Nigerian students with capacitated voice”.
“In bringing their ignorance to the fore, at their illegal zoom senate meeting, unknown to Nigerian students and conglomerated by non students, the merchants purportedly impeached the performing global President, fruitlessly replacing him with a serving government official (Chidi Ilogebe), a Special Assistant to the Governor of Enugu state who has since been suspended after his appointment and subsequent refusal to resign his position, in line with the constitution of NANS which forbids government officials or partisan members from holding executive offices in NANS”.
“Knowing that their allegations at the illegal zoom meeting are watery, baseless, malicious and intended to divide the students, it is important to assert that this illegality is of no consequence, unrecognizable, unknown to the constitution of NANS and unacceptable to Nigerian students. The ongoing transition plan to a new leadership is on course and unshakably indestructible. Nigerian students are resolute that never again shall they allow the locusts to throw their cherished organization into disunity”.
*The outgoing leadership under Danielson Akpan, GCNS remain focused in its vision of bequeathing a united NANS to the southwestern zone of NANS and nothing shall dissuade that vow”.
“In the light of the foregoing, arising from an emergency joint senators and stakeholders congress which held today 13th October, 2020, the Senate President is hereby expelled for offences ranging from public extortion, anti organizational activities, illegal co evening of senate meeting on zoom platform, sabotage and gross indiscipline. The meeting also passed a vote of confidence on the Global President, Comrade Danielson Akpan, GCNS, members of his Executive Council and the 2020 CPC led by Comrade Patrick Afubera”.
“The entire public is hereby advised to be wary of the antics of these money mongers whose major reliance and means of survival is trading students interest to the highest bidder.”
*To this end, a NANS national stakeholders’ meeting will be conveyed in the coming days to address sundry issues and set the record straight in respect of the frivolous allegations making round within the NANS community”.
“Danielson Akpan, GCNS
NANS Global President”.
