The President of National Association of Nigerian Student (NANS) Sunday Asefon has blasted publisher of Sahara Reporters and the online medium over reports of fighting over politician’s Christmas gift.
Earlier, Sahara Reporters had published a story that there is currently enmeshed in a NANS leadership crisis over a ‘Christmas gift’ given to the group by an unnamed politician.
According to Sahara Reporters, the gift was shared by the President, Sunday Asefon, and other members of the executive, leaving out members of the legislative arm.
However, while reacting to the story in an interview with our correspondent on Monday evening, the NANS President described the story as untrue.
He said: ” Sahara Reporter is not a news that everyone should take serious. I understand students activism very well. So, I don’t care about SaharaReporters. They claimed I am a civil servant but can not come out to tell me the ministry where I am working up till now. They came out to say I am 47years when my elder sister is not 40 yet. So, who is Sahara Reporters? Do they have an office? I have told them I will never grant Sahara Reporters interview.
“I have been in my state before Christmas. I am in my house. So I don’t know. My governor or any politician didn’t give anybody anything. So who is now giving Nigerian students Christmas gift that we are now fighting with?
“Sowore didn’t have sense. Anybody who is working with Sowore, it is what they want. Once they write, people will want to read. So that’s how they generate their fund. So, I don’t care.”
