Kashamu’s Award From NANS: Ogun APC Wades In

Well you ought to know a lot of group will still come out to
comment on this.  And ofcourse we are
still expecting certain individuals to also voice their opinion.  So don’t be surprised when more come out to
speak on it. So APC Ogun chapter through its Publicity Secretary, Sola Lawal released
a statement condemning the recent award given to Senator Buruji Kashamu by the
national president of NANS who named him the Golden man of the year for his philanthropists
activities and here’s part of what the statement said;

“The honour signifies a pitiable erosion of value which
points to the fact that indeed the future is bleak for the future generation of
Nigerians as represented by the current leadership of the National Association
of Nigerian Students, that has been so debased, backward and visionless. Continue…

“This is the same NANS which in the past was the doyen of
activists and patriots of this country. This is the same NANS that was once
celebrated by icons of nation building and nationalists such as the late Tai
Solarin, Bala Usman, Gani Fawehinmi, Prof. Eskor Toyo, Margaret Ekpo and Prof.
Wole Soyinka among a host of others.

“This is also the students’ body which, in the past, stopped
anti-people governments across Africa on their track.

“It should be recalled that it was the predecessor of NANS,
the National Union of Nigerian Students that stopped the government of First
Republic from going ahead with the widely derided Anglo-Nigerian Defence pact.

“For our students, who are regarded as leaders of tomorrow,
to acknowledge a fellow like Kashamu as its mentor is a shame and is
condemnable.”
