Speaking with this medium, the NAKSS President suspended by the Senate reaffirmed his position as the NAKSS President.

“He has played and he is still playing a lot of significant role towards the development of Kwara State Students. We are very sure that his position as now the SA on Students Affairs will go a long way to bring peace to the society and the generality of the student body. We believe in him so much and we are sure with him we will experience more progress in NAKSS. He added

“With my experience with Baba Bisi Fakayode when I was the NAKSS chief whip some years back without any iota of doubt Comr. Bisi Fakayo is a definition of trust, honesty, a philanthropist and a man of his word based on his past antecedent.
“He facilitated how last year bursary was paid without any hidden motive, he didn’t even collect any token from the students. We are certain with him the association will move forward.”
Meanwhile the NAKSS Senate President Comrade Abdulazeez El-Imam has called on Comrade Bisi Fakayode to direct the suspended President to obey the rulings of the Association Senate in respect to the suspension.
“We are very much delighted and we commend the government, Comrade Bisi Fakoyode is a father and a guardian to us. He is one who can tell us this or that and we will accept but on this issue of suspension, it more or less an internal issue.
“We want Comrade Bisi Fakayode to tell Mancha to stop parading himself as the president of NAKSS and he should obey the decision of the Senate. If he has any issue he should go to the judicial arm of NAKSS.” he added.
