Seyi Tinubu gets crucial backing amid assassination claim against NANS leader

The National Chairman of the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), Belusochukwu Enwere, has strongly refuted allegations linking Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, to the alleged kidnapping of student leader Atiku Isah.

The controversy erupted following a recent National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) convention in Abuja, where Seyi Tinubu was accused of meddling in the electoral process to support Comrade Olushola Oladoja, who emerged as factional NANS President.

Isah, who reportedly did not participate in the election, later declared himself the winner and alleged that Tinubu orchestrated violence and his subsequent abduction.

Enwere dismissed the accusations as baseless and politically motivated.

“It is widely known that despite being the son of the President, Seyi Tinubu is a law-abiding citizen of Nigeria. Such false accusations undermine the government’s efforts to address the nation’s security challenges,” he said.

Calling for accountability, Enwere demanded an unreserved apology from Isah and urged law enforcement to take action.

“Security agencies must arrest Isah for spreading unwarranted allegations of kidnap and violence,” he stated.

The YOWICAN chairman also appealed to political actors to refrain from divisive tactics and misinformation.

“At a time when the government is making concerted efforts to combat insecurity, it is disheartening to see individuals propagate falsehoods for political gain. We must unite to support initiatives aimed at restoring peace and stability,” he said.

The statement adds to the growing calls for responsible leadership among students and political groups amid tensions following the contested NANS elections.
