The National Association of Nigerian Students has called on the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi not to attend the convocation lecture of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, in Edo State.
The Governor is expected to deliver lecture at the university hall tomorrow.
NANS has however said the ban placed on the Fayemi’s following the crisis which erupted at the Federal University Oye Ekiti that led to the death of two Students has not been lifted.
The Association in a statement signed by its National PRO Comr. Adeyemi Azeez and made available to CAMPUS FOCUS maintained that one of the deceased students Joseph Okonofua hails from Edo state where the governor was going to present lecture.
“The entire public would recall that in September, 2019, the wife of the governor while on political tour of local governments within Ekiti State caused the death of two promising undergraduates at Federal University, Oye-Ekiti.
“Erelu Bisi Fayemi’s orderlies mainly from the Counter Terrorism Unit of the Nigeria Police Force had in a broad daylight barbarism, shot at harmless students killing two and injuring many..
“Till date, the Ekiti State first family had done everything humanly possible to cover up the sad incident.
“One of the slain students, Joseph Okonofua hails from Edo state where Governor Kayode Fayemi is billed to address a convocation lecture.
“We maintain our earlier ban placed on the first family of Ekiti state not to visit or attend any program or engage in any activity on Nigerian campuses. It is a strong warning that this leadership will not compromise until justice is done on the #FuoyeKilling. NANS will not sit idly watching those who sacrifice the blood of Nigerian students for transient power sustainability to further insult the sensibilities of our colleagues.
“That Governor Kayode Fayemi is known for arrogance of power and mindless blood letting is enough for him and his family to stay away from our campuses. The Ekiti State Governor would do well not to dare the resolve of Nigerian students by coming to AAU, Ekpoma as students within and outside Edo state are fully mobilized to stop the sacrilege Fayemi is about to perform. No Nigerian, however powerful should take the life of another and still roam the nation in search of goodwill when his cloth is soaked with innocent citizens blood.
“What impactful lecture will Governor Kayode Fayemi who is unfeeling, uncaring and mafioso in nature deliver in an academic environment? Should we wait after his exit from Ekpoma to begin to count numbers again? The deaths around Kayode Fayemi is enough for any of us to become wary of his unsuspecting solicitation for sacrifices. The management and senate of AAU, Ekpoma should find, immediately, a suitable replacement for Governor Kayode Fayemi as NANS would resist his entrance and stop him from killing more students whose blood he satisfactorily donate to his oracles in renewal of earthly powers. We insist that we can no longer accept loss of students.
“The leadership of NANS hereby directs immediate mobilization for the stoppage of Governor John Kayode Fayemi whose wife superintended over the killing of Joseph Okonofua and Kehinde Dada. Should the Governor remain adamant, he should prepare more of his CTU officers so as to stroll on the blood of Nigerian students whose lives he cherishes for his blood consuming deities. AAU, Ekpoma is certainly the best place to ask pertinent questions as to why Fayemi’s wife is licensed to kill people’s children, cover up the killings with her privileged status and for Nigerian students to ensure the long awaited justice.
According to the statement “To be forewarned is to be forearmed! Justice delayed is Justice denied!!”
