The Presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter O onFrbi has condemned the assault of Atiku Abubakar Isah, the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) by Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu.
Recall that on Friday, Isah accused Seyi Tinubu, son of Bola Tinubu, of orchestrating his abduction and assault following his refusal of a ₦100 million bribe.
Isah alleged that the assault was a consequence of his rejection of a ₦100 million offer intended to secure his support for Seyi Tinubu’s political ambitions. He claimed that after declining the bribe, he was abducted and subjected to physical abuse.
Obi in a post on his official X handle, stated that the incident questions the independence of student leadership and the subtle erosion of young voices in Nigeria’s democracy.
He maintained that Nigeria needs to return to that point where justice is done and is seen to be done without theatrics or abuse.
His post reads,”Similarly troubling are allegations surrounding the so-called adoption of the NANS President.
” If true, it raises critical questions about the independence of student leadership and the subtle erosion of young voices in our democracy.
“Nigeria’s youth should not feel coerced, silenced, or absorbed into political agendas that do not reflect their will.
“The oppression of young voices, whether through force, patronage, or intimidation, is a dangerous path that we must not normalize.
“We must return to a Nigeria where justice is done and is seen to be done without theatrics or abuse.
“A country where youth can speak freely, judges can serve with dignity, and institutions act responsibly. That is the Nigeria we must rebuild.A new Nigeria is POssible.”
