The National Association Of Nigerian Students (NANS) has vowed to do everything within it’s reach in order to ensure that the 2023 presidential primaries won’t hold in Abuja.
The union in a statement by its Chairman, Sunday urged the Federal government to seek an end to the ongoing ASUU strike.
In the statement titled, ‘End ASUU Strike Or Forget Political Activities In Abuja’, the NANS president said,
“We have also in the past weeks seen those saddled with great responsibility in the education sector and those saddled with responsibilities of resolving labour crises declaring interest to contest for the seat of the President come 2023.
“We are surprised by their effrontery and total disrespect to the Nigerian people for having the courage to even mute the idea of contesting talkless of picking up the N100m presidential form while students languish at home because of their collective failures.
“Politicians have shown no concern to the plight of the students but are only busy in their selfish and inordinate ambitions to become the next President.
“Let me say without mincing words, the two major political parties should forget any political gathering in Abuja or elsewhere except there is a solution to the lingering ASUU strike.
“We will frustrate all the activities leading to the selection of party candidates if we remain on strike, it read further.
