After allegations were flying around that National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has received a bribe of N150 million from the presidency to protest against ASUU. The body has come out to deny this allegations saying; “Our attention has been drawn to the purported and sponsored allegation, that NANS had been bribed by President Muhammadu Buhari with a whooping sum of N150million to protest against ASUU. “We commend the well meaning, intellectual and genuine civil society groups for not falling cheap for this blackmail, as we’ve gotten informed and reliably that they’ve also been lobbied by ASUU to join them in pushing such blackmail.
“We are not surprised that this blackmail isn’t flying beyond the pseudo groups they’ve been able to arrange and mobilise with cash. “President Muhammadu Buhari, is a known person in character and style to virtually all Nigerians, even the oppositions knows that Buhari will never give out such amount of money for any reason(s) that is not of national benefits or developments. ”No doubt this propaganda might have seen the acceptance of the masses if it wasn’t targeted towards Buhari himself.”
