The National Association of Kwara State Students(NAKSS) has dissociated itself from the unfounded attack of the President, Comr. Abdullahi Abdulkadir Wokili levelled against His Excellence, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq said the claim is untrue.
The Association made the disclaim known to the public through a press statement signed by the executives-Vice President(Admin), Comrade Shitttu Adulmalik;
Vice-President Special Duties: Comrade Akeemat Biogera; PRO: Comrade Yemi Bello and others. Emphasizing that the executives never met to have discussed or deliberated on such issue.
The executives also revealed that the Association is non-partisan and it won’t be careless with anyone regardless of status who is trying to bring it down for personal gain.
According to the statement: “It is important to state for the purpose of ensuring the public are properly guided, that at no time did the executive of the Association met to discuss or pass a vote of confidence or otherwise on any political candidate.
“We wish to state that the Association is non-partisan and it is most unfortunate that the supposed leader of the Union is attempting to drag the noble association into politics for personal reasons, against the oath sworn by him to be fair and just in discharge of his duty as the President” it revealed.
It also uncovered in detailed the successes the Association has recorded under the leadership of Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq he recently condemned.
