The leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) JCC Osun Axis, had demanded immediate suspension of Senior Special Assistant to governor Ademola Adeleke on Students’ Matters, Oladejo Aderoju, for causing crisis within the association.
The chairman of the student axis, Ogungbe Taiwo, who spoke with journalists in Osogbo, Thursday, accused Adeleke’s aide of organising faction within the association by conducting an unauthorized election.
He said, “the Congress, being the highest decision-making authority, has unequivocally empowered the Chairman to constitute the Conventional Planning Committee (CPC) tasked with overseeing the seamless transition of power to the next leadership.
“Regrettably, certain individuals, driven by a nefarious agenda to destabilize the peaceful atmosphere of the State, have brazenly utilized the Association’s name to conduct an unauthorized election, falsely claiming affiliation with the organisation.
“NANS JCC Osun Axis hereby informs the general public that the association has not transitioned power, and the legitimate CPC, endowed with constitutional backing, remains seized of the election process. Any rival election purportedly conducted by rogue elements is null and void, and such individuals are deemed persona non grata.
“Mr. Oladejo Basiru Aderoju, SSA on Students’ Matters to Osun State Governor, in collusion with APC elements hell-bent on jeopardizing the State’s peace and the good work of the performing governor, flagrantly sponsored the factional election.
“The Congress condemns Oladejo Basiru Aderoju’s destructive actions, including sponsoring thugs to kidnap student leaders and orchestrating DSS arrests. His defiance stems from misappropriating government funds intended for legitimate purposes.
“The Congress has already endorsed and a vote of confidence was passed on the exemplary leadership of Taiwo Ogungbe Adedamola and encourages future leaders of the Axis to emulate his excellence. The Association is currently in the process of conducting elections, and the CPC will announce the timetable shortly,” Taiwo added.
