NIGERIA 2015: NANS ENDORSES PRESIDENT JONATHAN FOR SECOND TERM.

The President of NANS, Yinka Gbadebo, led the National Executive members of the association on a courtesy visit to the First Lady, Patience Jonathan,
expressed their support at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The delegation, which passed a vote of confidence on Mr. Jonathan, also presented a certificate of credence to Mrs. Jonathan for her pursuit of peace and empowerment of women and the youth.

“As pragmatic and visionary Nigerians, we can see through the veil of distraction and boldly applaud the Goodluck administration for infrastructural and social transformation,” Mr. Gbadebo said.

“We have unflinchingly determined to put all political detractors and evil geniuses to shame in 2015 by giving Mr President the singular and total support of all Nigerian students.

“As a united association, all students have been mandated to cast their votes for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to emerge victorious and continue the good works of transformation,’’ he added.

Mr. Gbadebo, whose studentship at the Obafemi Awolowo University has been questioned, noted that in order to actualise this, NANS had floated the Nigerian Students Transformation Vanguard to champion this cause.

He commended Mr. Jonathan for his support to Nigerian students and youth by appointing six past NANS leaders in his administration.

According to him, the past leaders included the Ministers of Information and Education, Labaran Maku and Ibrahim Shekarau, respectively.

Others are the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku, and Senior Special Assistant to the President on Students and Youth matters, Jude Imagwe
