The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has frowned at the discordant tunes emanating from South East leaders over the choice of Peter Obi as running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The Association, in a statement issued by its President, Comrade Obande Gideon Obande, said it expected a mature approach to handling the issue, rather than the resort to heating up the polity recalling that it was similar disunity that led the geopolitical zone to produce five senate presidents within an eight year period.

While attesting to the unimpeachable character of Peter Obi, as reflected in his eight year stewardship of Anambra State, the Students' Body called on the leadership of the party to see to an amicable resolution of the issue at stake.

The Association also congratulated all those who emerged as candidates of the various parties in the recently conducted parties' primaries. It also commended the former vice president for choosing Obi as his running mate.
