The students, members of the National Association of Yoruba Students, urged South-West senators-elect to vote Senator Lawan who they describe as “pro-poor."
In a statement signed weekend by its president, Victor Olusesuyi, the union noted that Lawan is an advocate of the pro-poor government and is thus suitable for the position.
The National Association of Yoruba Students comprises students’ unions and associations of all Yoruba speaking states in all high institutions in Nigeria.
