President, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Chinonso Obasi, has said ailing President Muhammadu Buhari would be back in the country to continue in office.
In a statement signed he issued on Monday, the NANS President who claimed he had a conversation with the Presidency in London, said
he’s convinced the Commander-in-Chief would return alive, contrary to
the scheming of “those whose love is not for our teeming citizens but
themselves.”
He wrote: “My conversation with the Presidency yesterday in London at about 2:17pm Nigerian time has given more hope that President Muhammad Buhari will soon be back, alive and able to return to his presidential seat.

“In the course of conversation, I realized that Nigerians need more love to survive the machinations of the ungodly, the desperadoes and ill wishes gradually being orchestrated by those whose love is not for our teeming citizens but themselves.”
He wrote further, “This
is the time Nigerians have to be more patriotic than political as
issues of national interest should be more paramount and the president's
health considered as a national frailty that we as a people and a
nation can overcome.
“Let
me on behalf of teeming Nigerian students, the most marginalized in the
nation, appeal to Nigerians and particularly those in positions of
trust to be objective in carrying out any obligation assigned to them in
national interest. In the same vein, individual players and
stakeholders in the polity should thread with caution as the progress,
unity and peace of our dear nation is non-negotiable.
“PMB
is our father and deserves our goodwill and solidarity; if by any
reason we're not comfortable with his absence due to medical vacation,
let every Nigerian observe due process in their agitation.
“The
demands of Nigerian students were unveiled on July 19, 2017, in
commemoration of one year in office of the current NANS leadership under
my able stewardship as the National President of NANS.
“We
do hope the government of PMB will find the mini compendium, our
'irreducible minimum' demand in the education sector most useful in
addressing the ills in the education sector for a functional education
system in Nigeria.
“With
our overwhelming membership strength of over 40.1million Nigerian
students, ordinarily, we should be the highest noise makers and
agitators but neither have we chosen to be restless, rather being
diplomatic, civil and patriotic as our nation struggles through these
trying times and wish to send this as a signal to those disrupting the
peace of Nigeria to remember that there is no other nation we have other
than Nigeria - our fatherland.
