LAGOS MAY 10TH (URHOBOTODAY)-The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone B has condemn in strong term the undemocratic behaviour of government personnel’s attached to Kano State Government for removing the portrait of President Goodluck Jonathan from its offices.
“It should be noted that this nonchalant attitude of removing a seating President’s portrait is demonic, petty and a coup in a democratic setting. This is celebration taking too far and should be condemned by all sane mind in the country,” the students reacted in a statement signed by Public Relations Officer (PRO) of NAN Zone B, Pedro Obi made available to URHOBOTODAY.
The students called on the Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso to immediately revert this negative action, fish out the culprits with an adequate punishment melted out to the overzealous officials and anti-democratic elements in Kano State.
“As a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representative, we believe Kwankwaso should know better the position of the law with respect to transition, as Nigerian Students in the eleven States of South South and South East out rightly rejects this palace coup in Kano State.
“It should be noted that if this fails, it is capable of generating bad blood among the peace loving people of South South and South East region of the country. This will no doubt set a negative precedence against the democratic culture that President Goodluck Jonathan had cultivated and nurtured in Pre and Post 2015 general election,” the statement disclosed.
