NANS President, Babatunde Akinteye.
The National Association of Nigerian Students has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against taking any action against the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, over allegations linked to the controversy surrounding Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, insisting that no public official should be sanctioned on the basis of claims that have yet to be proven.
The student body said while it remained committed to accountability and the fight against corruption, justice must be guided by due process, fairness and the rule of law rather than public pressure.
In a statement issued on Friday and signed by its President, Akinteye Babatunde, NANS urged the President to resist growing calls for Gbajabiamila’s removal until competent authorities conclude ongoing investigations.
“The fight against corruption must always be pursued within the bounds of justice, fairness, equity and due process,” the association said.
