Atiku Abubakar Banned from Nigerian Campuses by NANS for Alleged Seyi Tinubu Smear
…Reaffirms Commitment to a United NANS and Unwavering Support for Tinubu Administration
By Joel Ajayi
The President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Olusola Oladoja, on Friday declared Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah who claims to be the President of NANS—persona non grata from Nigerian Campuses over what he described as malicious and baseless allegations aimed at tarnishing the reputation of Mr. Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Atiku Isah had alleged that thugs loyal to Seyi Tinubu stormed The Wells Carlton Hotel in Asokoro, Abuja, wielding cutlasses and firearms, disrupting an event, assaulting attendees, looting property, and forcing dignitaries like Senator Ibrahim Shekarau and former Governor Idris Wada to flee.
He further claimed the attack was politically motivated and linked to a bribe offer intended to silence his self-proclaimed leadership.
Addressing a world press conference in Abuja, Comrade Oladoja condemned these claims as part of a politically motivated smear campaign backed by certain opposition figures, whose identities he stated are known and would be revealed in due course.
“We have convened this briefing to address the malicious and baseless allegations propagated by Atiku Isah, who falsely claims to be the President of NANS,” Oladoja said. “His actions are part of an orchestrated campaign to sow discord within NANS and damage the reputation of Mr. Seyi Tinubu.”
Oladoja emphasized that Atiku Isah’s accusations are not only unfounded but also a desperate attempt to undermine the unity of Nigerian students and the credibility of the Tinubu administration.
“For clarity, NANS is united under legitimate leadership,” he continued. “On February 26, 2022, at the Old Parade Ground in Abuja, Nigerian students conducted a transparent, free, and fair election that duly elected me, Comrade Olusola Oladoja, as the National President, along with a full executive council. Atiku Isah, by contrast, operates without any elected executive backing his self-acclaimed presidency.”
He challenged Isah to seek redress through legal channels if he disputes the election outcome, adding that the records of the election and inauguration are publicly available and verifiable.
Oladoja dismissed the allegations against Seyi Tinubu as completely fabricated, noting the absence of specific details such as dates, credible witnesses, or verifiable evidence. He further claimed that intelligence and photographic evidence link Atiku Isah to opposition figures within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other political entities.
“Seyi Tinubu is a private citizen known for his peaceful and constructive engagement with Nigerian youths. The idea that he would orchestrate any form of violence is both absurd and inconsistent with his well-documented character,” Oladoja stated.
Reaffirming NANS’s support for President Tinubu’s administration, Comrade Oladoja said: “NANS, under my leadership, firmly supports the administration’s commitment to youth and student welfare. We are students, not politicians, and our focus remains on championing the rights and interests of Nigerian students.”
He called on the public, media, and relevant authorities to disregard Atiku Isah’s claims and urged security agencies to investigate the sources of his funding and the political forces behind the campaign of misinformation.
“NANS will not be distracted by such antics,” he concluded. “We remain committed to working with the Tinubu administration to promote education and youth development in Nigeria. Atiku Isah’s lies will not prevail; truth and justice will.”

NTAC DG Celebrates President Tinubu’s Second Year as Nigeria’s President
…Highlights His Leadership Skills and Economic Achievements
Joel Ajayi
Director General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps,Rt.Hon.Yusuf Buba Yakub says President Tinubu has risen above global economic dynamics and confronted squarely other regional and countrywide downturns to place Nigeria on the path of self-redemption, effervescent hope and optimism for a glorious tomorrow.
The NTAC boss,who stated the above in a congratulatory message made available to press men today in Abuja in commemoration of the second year anniversary of the Tinubu Presidency,added that Nigerians were excited at how ingeniously President Tinubu was able to pull back an economy tottering on the brinks of collapse to one that has started repaying debts and raising external reserves of the country.
The rest of the piece read:
“Your Excellency,Mr.President and Father of the Nation, *Letter of Congratulations on Your Two Years of Impactful Leadership and Service to Nigeria
“Permit me to respectfully avail myself of this means and the auspicious occasion of your second anniversary in office as President and Commander-in-Chief,Federal Republic of Nigeria, to convey my humble congratulations on the reformative and transformational turnaround that you have injected into governance and national leadership in these last two years since assuming the Nigerian Presidency.
“Without an iota of doubt,Sir,you came in,you saw and you have conquered.In the immortal words of one of the greatest leaders of all time:” You Have Done What Napoleon Could Not Do!”
“I recall with the clarity of a former federal lawmaker,who with every sense of modesty was in a position to know at the time,how our national life was mired in loss of hope, uncertainty, deepening insecurity, ethno-regional tensions as well as sullen economic indices.
“It was, indeed,a tall order to find that man who could clean the Augean stable,which, in fairness to the immediate-past national leadership,arose as a result of several factors,most of which were global and , therefore, beyond their total control.
“Today,Your Excellency,Mr.President,you have not only risen above global economic dynamics but confronted squarely other regional and countrywide downturns to place our nation back on the path of self-redemption, effervescent hope and optimism for a glorious tomorrow!
“Today,Your Excellency,many Nigerians,in spite of what you often refer to as “current pangs of hardship for a better tomorrow”,are excited at how ingenious you have brought back an economy tottering on the brinks of collapse to one that has started repaying debts and raising our external reserves.Surely,this could not have been an accident of leadership,but the result of a well-intended and carefully executed fiscal policy that has delivered on its premeditated targets.
“Your Excellency,Mr.President,as we ruminate on the path through which you have led us through these past two years, Nigerians may not be very much aware of the many hours of sleep you lose to hold the nation together,to keep the economy on a sound footing,to restore the prices of goods and commodities to the pre-energy subsidy removal era,to ease tensions in regions with security challenges and to keep our workers happy,but every Nigerian knows that the nation has a leader that truly cares. We all can attest to this in your body language and poise each time you address the nation!
“Your Excellency,Mr.President,we may go on and on to chronicle the quantum leap your gracious leadership skills and initiated policies have foisted on the nation these past years,but those who do not travel abroad may not fully understand the extent of the positive turnaround that you have caused to happen in our individual and collective destinies across the globe in so short a time.Simply put,it suffices to just say here that the honour of our green passport has also been largely restored,thanks to Your Excellency,Mr.President’s Foreign Policy Initiatives and leadership ingenuity these past two years of purposeful leadership.
“Your Excellency,Mr.President,Sir,as you take a detour into the next half of your glorious first tenure,we,who you graciously appointed as some of your foot soldiers,join millions of your admirers, well-wishers and mentees across the world to wish you well and to pray that you daily continue to draw from the rich reservoir of wisdom, strength and good health deposited in you by the Almighty God Himself at creation to lead Nigeria and Africa in the right direction.
“For myself and my family,and on behalf of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC),which by the grace of God, your magnanimous appointment and continuous support I currently head,I congratulate you once again ,Your Excellency,Mr.President and Father of the Nation,and pray that you find more health, wisdom, inspiration and strength to continue to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda and maintain the path of realizing The Nigerian Dream in our lifetime,” the NTAC DG concluded.
Following the swearing-in ceremonies held at the Eagle Square,Abuja,on May 29,2023, President Tinubu took over the reins of leadership, succeeding his Party man and immediate-past President,Gen.Muhammadu Buhari,Retd.
