The leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Southwest has blasted online news outfit SarahaReporters and the publisher, Omoyele Sowore over ‘incessant fake news.
This was revealed to AMILOADED In a statement titled “Pull The Brakes On Fake News Over Nigerian Students’ Issues; We are Not Available For Your Revolution Now Political Manipulation” which was signed by the NANS Southwest Public Relations Officer, Comrade Olatunji Nurudeen on Monday.
Read the statement below:
“It’s very unfortunate and uncalled for seeing Sowore and his unprofessional media workers publishing news from illegal sources just to create division in the association. It’s very saddening for Sowore and his primitive partners in Shahara reporters to be working assiduously to destabilize NANS having lured members of our association to join his dimwitted ‘Revolution now campaign’ with total rejection from Nigerian Students who know he’s being sponsored by heartless individuals who don’t want Nigeria to be peaceful. Sowore’s demonic plan to split NANS by receiving and publicizing fake news from illegitimate sources to create dissention amongst Students, most especially South West Students is dead on its arrival. The modus operand of Sahara reporters towards receiving news and eventual publication shows how unskilled, inexperienced and dilettantish the media outlet are.
“Some days ago, immediately after the just concluded National convention of NANS held in Abuja, without adequate findings, this same Sahara reporters had congratulated another candidate even before official announcement from the Convention planning committee. This has further exposed the cruel antics of Sowore and his juvenile partakers. When Comrade Asefon Sunday Dayo, the brand new Revolutionary NANS President was declared winner by the convention chairman, this same Sahara reporters rushed to the air and started spreading fake information about our dear President of NANS. Sahara reporters, Sowore and his co-conspirators in spreading the falsehood and propaganda against NANS because the association has clearly stated that they would not be hoodwinked by Sowore to join his failed REVOLUTION NOW political scamming movement shows how desperate they are. Articulate Nigerian Students would resist his divisive plans.South west students are of the sophisticated stock and are not deceived by his TOUTISH HAIRCUT which he thinks would make him appear younger than the 49 year old “Youth” that he wants everyone to believe. We will not hesitate to recommend a good barbershop that would give you, Sowore the appropriate haircut that fits your real age
“Shockingly, Sowore has tried all possible means by himself and through proxies to get the new NANS leadership at all levels to join his Revolution now movement but to no avail. Hence, his decision to continuously promoting impersonators of the ZONAL officers especially in the South/West through some unscrupulous non Students. Summarily, ever tactical Nigerian Students want to warn Sowore/ Sahara reporters to abstain from parading impersonators or regret his action because we will continue to resist him through every legitimate means at our disposal.
“NANS ZONE D therefore wish to implore Sahara Reporters to stay away from junk journalism and lazy news repertoire.”
