- Submits petition against Dapo Abiodun

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to launch investigations into sources where aspirants got N100 million to procure nomination and expression of interest forms of the All Progressives Congress, APC

The students wholinked linked the crisis facing tertiary education to the lackadaisical attitude of the political class, decried a situation where politicians are doling out money to procure nomination forms while students languish at home on account of the strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

The national Public Relations Officer (PRO), Victor Ezenagu, stated this in Abuja, Wednesday, while submitting a petition at the APC Secretariat to register their grievances against the sitting governor of Ogun state and the ongoing industrial action by ASUU.

"We are here to register our displeasure. One is that the sitting governor of Ogun state we seek for proper investigation by EFCC and his person because there are a lot of fault related activities even the one that was done in the US against his person. 

"We want the government and EFCC to investigate him because such a person who has criminal records is not fit to hold political office in Nigeria. 

"So we are calling on EFCC to go and investigate him and his likes, even those who paid N100m and N50m to obtain presidential forms in their respective parties will call on EFCC to investigate them. 

"We can't be having people spending money for political primaries while our students are at home. The money that the various parties have donated is even enough to start solving ASUU problem.

"EFCC should investigate everybody who has picked up presidential form and then bring those who are fraudulent to book or else they should stop going into our campuses and harassing students in the name of yahoo," he added.

Ezenagu equally stated that the leadership of APC should use the coming general elections to redeem its image by calling on all persons in the various positions to look into the issue of ASUU and resolve it permanently.
