No Truth in My Allegations – NANS Leader Isah Retracts Claims Against Seyi Tinubu

Atiku Abubakar Isah, the factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), has formally withdrawn earlier allegations made against Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, stating he was misled into believing falsehoods.

Last week, Isah accused Seyi Tinubu of attempting to interfere in the internal affairs of the student body, claiming that he had orchestrated efforts to disrupt the inauguration of NANS executives in Abuja.

Isah also alleged that he was tortured and coerced into resigning from his position on April 16, 2025, by associates of the President’s son.

However, in a statement posted on his https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2Fatikuabubakar.isah.3%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02GwNCMZPepJGfDLHK1RE3ZqA2Wt6Dvdb1AF9Q6dMG25KAdRJLnTF7t9niNgkkbV6Nl&show_text=true&width=500“>Facebook handle, Isah issued a public apology, attributing his claims to misinformation he received from Ladoja Olusola, another factional leader of NANS.

“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,” Isah stated.

He added that Olusola created a narrative intended to instill fear in him, warning that Seyi Tinubu might order his assassination and manipulate law enforcement to cover it up.

“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. In fact, I later found out that Mr Seyi was nowhere near the venue,” he clarified.
