Embattled Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has incurred the wrath of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, for allegedly attempting to polarize the students’ body.

NANS also accused Gov. Amaechi of attempting to use some of its national executives as proxies in his rift with President Goodluck Jonathan.

NANS President, Comrade Olayinka Gbadebo, who spoke at a media briefing at the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, alleged that the Rivers State Government had allowed itself to be misled by an expelled executive of the union.

He said, “The attention of NANS leadership had been drawn to unsavory attempts by the Executive Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi on his desperate efforts at polarizing the united leadership of our noble organization.

“It is no longer news that the Rivers State Governor, who has been misinformed by agent provocateurs and swindlers has agreed as part of his current political travails to throw our dear organization into chaos”.

According to Gbadebo, Gov. Amaechi’s attempt to drag the leadership of the students’ body to side with him was rebuffed which led to the conclusion that the current crisis is nothing but “a political ego trip that has now degenerated into an incurable one.”

He added that “Having rebuffed several overtures made to the NANS President by Governor Amaechi, he has now found an ally in the expelled Deputy Senate President of NANS, Comr. John Shema of Benue State University, Makurdi to do the hatchet job”.

The student leader also accused the Rivers governor of sponsoring a press conference against President Goodluck Jonathan.

He also questioned why Gov. Amaechi would fund a project tour with the union in the state.

“Comr. John Shima in the month of August issued a sponsored press statement in support of Governor Rotimi Amaechi against President of our dear country, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

“For correcting the wrong impression already sold to the unsuspecting public, the hawks and clowns around Governor Amaechi have refused to let NANS operate functionally in their desperate bid to extort tax payers’ money.

“If we may ask, what does governor Rotimi Amaechi Need NANS for? Is NANS an extension of Nigeria Governor’s Forum which he led and successfully polarized? Or, the Peoples Democratic Party that he has elected to factionalize”, Gbadebo asked rhetorically.

I'm sure very soon, Ameachi will soon start insulting the NANS!

this is further proof of how desperate our politicians are..instead of helping out in solving the current ASUU issue this leaders are trying to create more problems. Funny enough they all claim to love our country...shame

Dat vagrant Gbadebo shld focus on ASUU strike and leave politics for politicians

well am not shocked at all........before now i was angery with UNN for baning SUG ...... I feel i now no y,.....wike we in ph are not foools ooh but let me tell u.....u will never be a senator in this country come 2015.

I won't blame NANS. Instead fighting and looking for a way forward for d nigeria students they are busy with what should not be a priority 2 them.

Wrong move by Amaechi has just backfired and here is the result.

But Amaechi for leave this NANS people out of his shenanigans na

Mod.front page

When did NANS become a noble organization? Hasn't NANS polarized the students it claim to represent? NANS is always ready to offer her services to the highest bidder. NANS has pitched its tent with the President while the comrade from Benue State or a faction is in the camp of Amaechi.

why am I not sure Amaechi is currently sponsoring the ASUU strike.

Dr Walter: Dat vagrant Gbadebo shld focus on ASUU strike and leave politics for politicians

he is also a politician,though,@ Students level...@post,I am becoming more confused on whom to believe having known what NANS is alll about during my days in Union(S.U.G).Money for sure must av exchanged hands

take dat: When did NANS become a noble organization? Hasn't NANS polarized the students it claim to represent? NANS is always ready to offer her services to the highest bidder? NANS has pitched its tent with the President while the comrade from Benue State or a faction is in the camp of Amaechi.

Your partisan bias is too glaring. You obviously didn't notice how Amaechi has been dragging every organization into his naked dance. From teachers to civil society. Spending Rivers state tax payers money. Now that NANS have rejected his move, you castigate them. Such hypocrisy.

Guy, why you dey police me up and down? What is the lie in my post? Is it that NANS isn't a pay-for-hire group? Your reasoning does not meet the basic standard of fairness and soundness. You accuse me of 'partisan bias' yet I have neither seen nor read a post of yours where you have equally castigated his(Amaechi) antagonists. Abi na ony Amaechi be the problem? Wike, Dame Jonathan and Mbu are saints to you!

[size=15pt]That is the type of dirty and negative politics Amaechi is using Rivers State money to fund. Tomorrow,he will start buying heavy machine guns for jobless youths to become militants and thugs for him.

But he will not fund real development projects to transform Port Harcourt into a shining city of the future,the way Fashola has done in Lagos using about the same amount of budget![/size]

Amaechi should pls complete his multi billion naira monorail to nowhere first before dragging students into his rofo rofo fight

talktimi: Amaechi should pls complete his multi billion naira monorail to nowhere first before dragging students into his rofo rofo fight

no mind am,
was in Ph last week and i can say Amaechi is seriously overhyped, abandoned Street projects at wimpy with water everywhere, no good drainage as obtainable in UYo, potholes everywhere

had to run back to Akwa Ibom, PH don fade

Amaechi has gone mad again o

I thought the NANS President was "impeached" some weeks back?

Back to the matter; only clog brains will believe any of what the NANS guy is saying. Why? He's only talking cos whatever money Amaechi gave to some people in NANS did not reach him. . . But since majority of Nigerians are silly, gullible, and myopic; they'll fall in line and applaud his statement.

Can he swear with the mere-paper of a certificate he's about to receive from Uni that he's not been collecting money from Government to take sides? Esp on this strike ish which I'm surprised he's still 'president'; as he was allegedly removed due to pursuing his own interests.

wimpy try na, enter nkpor and cry. Shebi he has paused all the power projects he has been usin to make noise since last year

This is a sign of a drowning man still grabbing at straw, kudos to Gbadebo for being a wise son! Amaechi may regret ever being a Governor if after completing his 8 years he couldn't finish up with his 'multi-billion naira monorail project'

Are Wike, Dame and Mbu the aggresors? Who started fighting others around him? Does it not speak volumes that Wike, Dame, Omeiha, Odili, All the Rivers traditional rulers, House of assembly members, local government chairmen, etc, etc are all against Amaechi? Why is it that it is only the APC crew and the rebel G7 govs, who are obviously playing the "anything to spite GEJ" card that support Amaechi?

Amaechi is the one fighting with his own people. The whole blame of this saga is on him. The people of Rivers will never come to his defence, because he is on his own

In a chemistry class, the teacher asked the
students
to name the atmospheric gases:
musa: oxygen.
Teacher: Good. Chidi: Nitrogen.
Teacher: That's my boy!!!! Kemi: Hydrogen.
Teacher: Wonderful!!!!!! ! Akpos: Tear gas.
Teacher: Akpos, you have one more chance,
else
you will be punished.
Akpos thinks hard and says: Fabregas

Lyk a care *strolls out*

Lyk i care *strolls out*

amaechi is just being non charlant, apart from da apc team & G-7 governor's , who else is backing him? That speaks in a large volume of how amaechi has bought much enemies, who would not mind fighting him to the end.

Keep fooling yourselves. Stupid students, don't direct your energy to the federal government and assu so you can return to school..your colleagues in the rivers state university of science and technology thanks to ameachi's vision, are still in school. I can see why this strike is moving smoothly with no one lifting a finger, we have plonkers as nans leaders.

My guys have this igbo cliche...e ribe ego till e ribe federalu (in thick igbo accent)! Meaning you never chop money till you chop federal!!!this guy has obviously chopped federal....LOLS

Astounding hypocrisy. Your arguments are far separated from reality but knowing that you are a Proponent of 5 is greater than 27, 16 more than 19. Groveler of an appendage of power who chastised an elected Governor publicly, blocked major roads
etc I am not so surprised.
