Factional NANS President, Comrade Atiku Isah has tendered an apology to Seyi Tinubu.
He had accused him of assault and bribery.
Atiku had some days ago accused Seyi of sponsoring his arrest and subjecting him to beatings and inhumane treatment for refusing to accept a bribe of N100 million to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement on his Facebook Page, Isah wrote:
Setting The Records Straight/Public Apology To Seyi Tinubu
“Please permit me dear Nigerians to set the record straight regarding my video that currently went viral across social media platforms. In the video, I alleged that the son of the President, Mr Seyi’ Tinubu and the Minister of Youths and Sport, Ayodele Olawande, invited me to Lagos.”
“I further stated that the Minister and I hugged , and thereafter offered me #100,000,000 to support President Bola Ahmad Tinubu but that I rejected the offer.”
“In the video, I also alleged that, for what they considered my stubbornness to reject their #100,000,000, I was on the 15th of April, 2025 abducted, stripped naked and thoroughly beaten up and in connivance with the MD of the Nigerian Television Authority ( NTA), I was taken to the station where an involuntary statement purportedly abdicating my position as NANS President was obtained under duress.”
“It has become imperative to note that the offer of N100,000,000 which was alleged was made to me to support President Tinubu was clearly untrue as Ladoja Olusola, who was desperate to get me out of my legitimate position as the duly elected President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), fed me the lies and half truths for the sole purpose of achieving his selfish agenda of taking over the reigns of the student body through the back doors.”
“It was also Ladoja Olusola, who warned me that Mr Seyi Tinubu could order my killing and thereafter instruct the Inspector General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokum, to bury the matter.”
“It also stated among other things, that Seyi’ Tinubu led thugs to the venue of my Inauguration. This was very untrue. I made these claims owing to the picture of Seyi Tinubu painted to me by Ladoja Olusola who swore to me that Seyi was doing everything to ensure I am not alive to serve my tenure as NANS president. Infact, I later found out that Mr Seyi’ was nowhere near the venue.”
