The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has refuted recent allegations levelled by a factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Atiku Abubakar Isah, against Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
In a Friday statement signed by its National Organising Secretary, Abagun Kole Omololu, Afenifere labelled the accusations “salacious, fallacious, and completely unfounded.”
The organisation accused Isah of attempting to mislead the public with baseless claims and warned against using student platforms to peddle falsehoods and sow discord.
The group also questioned the legitimacy of Isah’s leadership within NANS, adding that his allegations against Tinubu are politically motivated.
The statement reads, “The attention of Afenifere has been drawn to claims by one Atiku Abubakar Isah, a factional President of the National Association of Nigerian Students, who has made some rather salacious and fallacious accusations against Seyi Tinubu.
“First, this individual apparently has a political motive, as clearly seen in the banner he hoisted outside the venue of his supposed inauguration.
