The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ogun State chapter has warned politicians against undue interference with students affairs.

The Chairman of of NANS, Ogun Joint Campus Committee (JCC), Comrade Kehinde Damilola Simeon who gave the warning on Monday, accused politicians of using students for their selfish interest and thereby causing disharmony among students.

Simeon who spoke at a press conference in Abeokuta, Ogun State, said it was regrettable that students have become a tool in the hands of politicians to fight their political enemies.

The student body specifically accused a member of the House of Representatives in the State, Hon. Adesegun Adekoya, popularly known as "attacker" of sponsoring the leadership crisis of NANS in Ogun State.

"This undue interference is capable of causing unrest which can lead to political instability in the State.

Simeon insisted that it is "ridiculous and irresponsible" for a politicians to be meddling with students affairs instead of facing their business.

"It is highly ridiculous and a show of high level of irresponsibility for a lawmaker at National Assembly to be involved in sponsoring leadership crisis amongst the student leaders in Ogun State.

"As students leaders in Ogun State, we will not fold our arms and allow any intruder or selfish politician to be sponsoring leadership crisis amongst students' leaders in the State, all in the bid to protect their political and egocentric interest.
