There are emerging reports that the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) is currently enmeshed in crisis over a ‘Christmas gift given to the students group by an unnamed politician.
Inside sources revealed that the Christmas gift was distributed by the President, Sunday Asefon and other members of the executive, leaving out members of the legislative arm.
Speaking on the incident, an aide to the Senate President of NANS, Chuks Innocent Okafor accused Asefon of running the union like his’ family business’.
“He is running the association like a family business, doing anything he likes. NANS is bigger than all of us; he has been moving around alone, collecting gifts on behalf of the association. We even heard one of his executive members do impersonate the Senate President anywhere he goes to,” he said.
“It’s high time he knows that the Senate President, Comrade Okafor, doesn’t need him to succeed. His move to embarrass our principal will be resisted.
“Apart from all these, he independently constituted an inauguration committee without the input of the Senate President. We have told him to hold Abuja and shouldn’t come to South-South and South-East regions.”
