In ambience of unmeritted award by NANS to Senator Buruji Kashamu. APC Ogun chapter through its Publicity Secretary, Sola Lawal has 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.”
