Emonefe, who left the College of Education in Warri, Delta State 20 years ago, has indicated interest in contesting the position. Some politicians have raised millions of Naira to influence the upcoming election and support his candidature.
Some stakeholders of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) have opposed the candidacy of Lucky Emonefe, a 48-year-old citizen, as president of the association.
A student expressed shame at seeing old men who should be more concerned about their lives and welfare fighting for positions in the NANS.
An executive of the association from the South-West emphasized the importance of Nigerian students’ resilience, unity, and commitment to education.
They urged Nigerian students to unite and resist the allure of empty promises and deceitful tactics, as the future of NANS is at stake.
They acknowledged that Emonefe is not alone in his quest to lead NANS and that the true stakeholders are the true students of Nigeria. They urged their peers not to be swayed by Emonefe’s lies and to protect the future of NANS.
