Seyi Tinubu Denies Ever Meeting NANS President Atiku Isah, Denounces Assault Allegations As ‘Fictional’

Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has denied ever discussing with Atiku Abubakar Isah, the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).

He also dismissed claims that he led thugs to attack Atiku’s faction during a recent NANS event.

In a statement on his Instagram page on Friday, Seyi Tinubu said he had "never knowingly met" Comrade Atiku Isah and strongly refuted all allegations linking him to any act of violence or political interference in student affairs.

“I have never held a meeting to discuss any subject matter with Comrade Isah in Lagos or anywhere else in the world. I have never knowingly met him before. Neither did I visit any location with thugs,” Seyi wrote.

“These allegations by Atiku Isah are completely fictional,” he added.

The statement was issued in response to a report by SaharaReporters, which cited claims made by Atiku Isah alleging that Seyi Tinubu was involved in orchestrating an attack against him during a disputed NANS inauguration.

According to the report, Atiku Isah accused Seyi of collaborating with a factional group within the student body to undermine his leadership and allegedly assault him.

However, Seyi Tinubu denied any involvement in the incident and emphasised that the claims were entirely false.

Previously, SaharaReporters reported that Atiku Isah accused Seyi Tinubu of attempting to bribe him with N100 million to influence his ambitions.

Atiku made the startling claim during a press conference on Wednesday, recounting the events leading up to an attack on his inauguration ceremony in Abuja.

According to Atiku Isah, Seyi Tinubu approached him with the offer, seeking to sway his position.

However, the NANS president rejected the bribe, which he described as an attempt to manipulate student leadership.

Atiku's refusal was met with what he termed "a violent response" when thugs linked to Seyi Tinubu disrupted the inauguration event held on Tuesday.

Atiku shared these details during the association's inauguration

He explained that he was invited to Lagos to meet with Seyi Tinubu and the Minister of Youth Development (Ayodele Olawande). Upon meeting, Atiku said, "The Minister for Youth, when he saw me, hugged me in Lagos. We talked, and I was to be offered N100 million. But the thing is, it's not all about money. There are things which I stand for.

It's obvious the NANS president is just so confused.

If this news wasn't true I'm sure Seyi Tinubu would have sue him for defamation but because he knows its true he only came out online to defend his stupid self. Like father like son

You chased his father, you couldn't get him and now you cowards are running after his son. Do you think you can get his son when thousands of you couldn't get his father?. Let me tell you, Tinubu has prepared his children ahead and there's nothing new that they have not experienced. But take this warning with you, if you hit a rock, your head will scatter. If someone pass you, e don pass you. But na stubborn fly dey follow dead body enter grave.

The Atiku guy is not important. You will understand my word when you become important to the society.

Finally, I can view comments without seeing this he-goat

You are one of the problems of Nigeria. The first question you should ask as a reasonable person is, was the NANS President missing for few days? Some of you just have lots of problems and you allow politics to blind your sense of reasoning and that's why the country is the way it is and even in your penury, you have bigger problems which has affected your thinking faculty.
