Re-NANS: Kabiru Mohammed and the falsification of history by Tijani Kabiru Mohammed (NANS President 1999/2000)
Intelligent Abdul Aminu Mahmud for numerous reasons I would have shot
my mouth and allow this fathom falsification and self gratifying piece
of your to an end, it would have mean that I am more intelligent than
you, but I choose to be one.
I will try as best as possible in other not to insult your intelligent deposition on the history of NANS you distort and try to re-write at the same time.
It is also to bring to your notice that by the time you are through
with reading this piece, you would have no option than to agree with me
on these points of historical facts and evidences, and not on petty self
gratifying boast.
I have found it as a duty to scrutinise your intelligent claims and to further expose you and your likes.
Fact One: Mahmud Abdul in his piece titled “Delusion Dino Melaye and
the new activism”. Have this to say, “One point that must be made is
that the President, Kabir Mohammed, whom Dino Melaye served as Personal
Assistant began the decadent era of state capture that National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has not recovered from today”.
Mahmud Abdul again in his Rejoinder titled “Kabiru Mohammed and
falsification on NANS” have this to say again, “The era of state capture
of the National Association of Nigerian students (NANS) effectively
began in 1994 with the Denis Inyang-leadersh¬ip, and the years of
intense struggles waged by the progressive left students movement
between 1995 and 1999 which led to the factionalisatio¬n of the
organisation elicited scant respect for the reactionary movement that
became increasingly active following the unbanning of the National
Association of Nigerian Students late 1993”.
Let me understand your intelligent submission on your so called write ups when you made these dual assertions?
Fact Two: Right, “let’s assume Kabiru’s tenure didn’t signal the death
of progressive students politics, at least his factional presidency
represented a significant aspect of the decadent era of the National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) that began in 1994 when
right-wing elements sponsored by General Abacha and actively supported
by pseudo leftists and renegades of the Democratic Socialist Movement
captured that organisation at its annual convention held at the Obafemi
Awolowo University.” Abdul Mahmud states this.
Whether it was
captured or not, the question is was there an election in OAU that
ushered in Comrade Dennis Etim Inyang, from Federal University of
Technology Owerri (FUTO) in 1994 that ended the dreaded era of Stalinist
to popular students activism by popular Students representations across
the country to OAU Ile Ife, unlike the previous conventions that
brought your likes and Comrade Nasiru Kura to power in recent years with
not more than 10 institutions and you will be declare a winner.
I
remember vividly the convention that brought in Nasiru Kura in 1992 was
supposed to hold in BUK but was aborted and we moved to ABU Zaria to
conclude the convention, most of us were on our way from Kano to Zaria
when you declared Nasiru Kura President, How many Schools were there? I
stand to be contradicted on this. Would your so called Stalinist group
reject the June 12 election won by a business mogul Late MKO Abiola?
Please try to understand that we led the revolution to democratise NANS
and defeated the era of Stalinist reign as represented by you and your
likes.
Fact Three: Abdul Mahmud have this to say “I was at that
April 1992 Conference on the Future of Higher Education in Nigeria
organised by the then Minister of Education, late Professor Babs Fafunwa
at the University of Jos’’. In the same piece intelligent Mahmud Abdul
have this to say again “Late 1991, shortly after my release from
Kirikiri prison, I was invited by the military junta to deliver a paper
at the said conference which I declined for the following reasons:
Another fathom lie by Mr Mahmud Abdul the intelligent man, Let assume
you were invited by the military junta to deliver paper on the future of
higher education in Nigeria and you declined, what were you doing at
the April conference in Jos again? Let me ask this fundamental question
1991 or 1992 which is which in your intelligent assertions? Mr Abdul if
you have declined to present a paper in Jos of what Economic or
Political relevance are you made of to the younger generation ? Maybe
you have benefited individually by winening, dinning and perhaps
collected a stipend allowances accrued to paper presenters? Do you know
if you have present a paper it could have been a road map for education
in Nigeria 23 years ago, what did you achieve by going there Mr
intelligent?
Fact Four: “That Olusegun Mayegun was duly recognised
and invited to the high table by the representative of the same military
junta that banned the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS)
is today a testimony to the courage of that generation of student
leaders and activists” Mahmud Abdul again and so what? Please, was that a
struggle compared to the supreme sacrifice my dear Late Comrade Moses
Oisakede NANS President (1998/1999) laid his life for Nigerian students
on his way to reinstate 105 Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi
expelled Students? It is on record that we told President Obasanjo to
his face at the presidential villa during our courtesy visit in
September 16, 1999,the demands of Nigeria students and not to his
representatives as you did in 1991 or 1992 as you claimed, Oluwole
babalola Moneyin aka Obesere, Steve Emelieze the then secretary general,
comrade Tony Fashayo, Comrade Eze Nwagwu, comrade Mouktar Atima, the
then speaker Bayero University Kano, would attest to this germane and
historical struggle.
Fact Five: Mahmud quoted Victor Arokoyo here “I
was never part of any deal to make you work with Dino group. I don’t
know what group you are talking about…I can testify that Dino’s active
participation in NANS started after the death of Moses with his
appointment as ASSISTANT by the NANS Acting President, Kabiru Tijani
Mohammed. I remember vividly that Dino had the largest ID ever to
display his post. Dino knows himself and some of us also know him well
irrespective of the attempt to reconstruct history by Kabiru,
Another, blunt lie there sir, Mr Intelligent, please ask Victor Arokoyo
who was the chairman security committee of the NUGA 2001 which he
chaired, that took place in ABU Zaria and who was the NANS President
then, was it the Comfort Idika NANS or the reactionary Philip Shuibu and
Segun Olaleye Regime of NANS? As mentioned in you last piece.
Fact
Six: Abdul Mahmud again, “ Kabiru Mohammed and Dino Melaye were simply
professional students; and with poor economic backgrounds they took to
mercantilist students’ unionism to survive the harsh university
environment. If both were freshmen in 1993, what were they still doing
at the Ahmadu Bello University in 1999?”
Mr intelligent with due
respect, I want to tell you categorically clear know what transpired
nationally in the educational sector, you wouldn’t have made this
erroneous assertions, did you remember that there was a Complete
National strike of ASUU in 1993 that collapse that year academic
calendar in Zaria after that a local ASUU strike again that also
consumed a session, Have you also forgotten that when General Mamam
Kontogora came to ABU as a sole administrator a whole academic session
was cancelled? Were you not aware that I was expelled and regain my
studentship after a year to the university with victor Arokoyo? Please
ask the likes of Victor Arokoyo who was admitted into ABU in 1992 and
when did he graduate? Mr intelligent, maybe your parents are
millionaires when you were newly admitted into the University of Jos,
you should also ask the likes of Victor Arokoyo, I was earning a monthly
salary while in the University. You went further to list the above
line up of NANS leadership as follows so called Mr intelligent.
National Association of Nigerian Students of Progressive Activists (1980/1994):
a. Tanimu Kurfi, Interim Chairman (1980/1981)
b. Chris Mamah, first elected President (1981/1982)
c. Late Chris Abashi, President ( 1982/1983)
d. Lanre Arogundade, President (1983/1984)
e. Emma Ezeazu , President (1984/1988)
f. Salihu Lukman, President (1988/1989)
g. Opeyemi Bamidele, President (1989/1990)
h. Abdul Mahmud, President (1990/1991)
i. Olusegun Mayegun, President (1992/1993)
j. Nasiru Kura, President (1993/1994)
Sir, I do not think I have issues with you on the parade of these
names, but I want to ask for posterity where is Comrade Danladi Oladele
the first Interim chairman by documents available to us and were tweet
to your personal twitter account or was he another reactionary leader of
NANS and where will comrade wushishi of Danfodio University Sokoto be
inserted in the history or record of NANS.
You never stop there; you went ahead again with the following leadership traits and finally distort the history again
National Association of Nigerian Students of Reactionary faction (1994-2000):
1. Denis Inyang, President (1994/1995)
2. Baba Kasala, President (1995/1996)
3. Oludare Ogunlana, President (1997/1998)
4. Bashir Abdullahi (1997/1998)
5. Late Moses Oisakede/¬Kabiru Mohammed, Presidents (1998/2000)
National Association of Nigerian Students of Progressive faction (1994-2000):
1. Comfort Idika, President (1995/1996)
2. Ropo Ewenla, President (1996/1997)
3. Ujor Suleman, President (1997/1998)
4. Ken Henshaw, President (1998/2000).
The truth here is, you agreed with me that Comrade Dennis Etim Inyang
took Over NANS Leadership from Comrade Nasiru Kura Frm Bayero University
Kano at the OAU Ile- Ife in 1994 according to you version, which I
concur. Please, who handed over the leadership of NANS to your Comfort
Idika at the Ago-Iwoye Convention and her subsequent followers Mr
intelligent? You are a lier and self gratifier of historical edifice am
sorry or ARE YOU A LEARNER.
FACT Seven: Abdul Mahmud again
“Finally, in 2000, both factions of the National Association of Nigerian
Students were united at the Port Harcourt Unity Convention which
produced the reactionary leadership of a certain Philip Shuaibu” Another
cook and bull story there by intelligent Mahmud Abdul.
Mr
Intelligent or what do you call yourself, open your ears and listen
very attentively, No any unity convention of NANS held at Port-
Harcourt, in 2000 and which of the campus?. The Unity Convention we
had was in February, 2000 at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi
and it was organised by my humble self and Ken Henshaw, Please stop
distorting history.
Fact Eight: Mahmud on my Facebook wall
“Oluwole and Tijani, please I await your responses. Let me remind Tijani
that if he doesn't end his boasts, I'll release papers that connected
him to LOC 99 and reports of the NANS senate meeting in Auchi in 99
where he was suspended by the Senate of NANS and his fellow "yahoo"
mate, Dele, impeached. Tijani, your suspension was lifted 27th August,
1999 and 4 days later Moses died and you assumed position as acting
president. Any connection to his death? Please, be warned!” Culled from
Mahmud Abdul Facebook comment.
Mr Intelligent, I want you to please
release the LOC 99 and NANS Senate report on my humble self and in
doing that , please do not forget to also release the 27th August Senate
Meeting Communiqué at FUT Akure, I challenge you that there was no any
EXCOS called Dele that was impeached then, and I imagine if truly you
are a good Muslim, to have connected me to the death of My Late Comrade
Moses Oisakede maybe perhaps Goodluck Ebele Killed Umar Musa Yar’Adua in
other to take over power, also Governor Muktar Ramalan Yero of Kaduna
also killed Governor Ibrahim Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna state to become
Governor, Hugo Chavez might also have been killed too by his vice to
become President. It seems you are fighting almighty God the author and
finisher of Live and fail to understand that a man destiny have been
ordained from birth and no being can question his authority.
For
posterity I will leave this leadership line up for you leisure perusals
and have the full knowledge of NANS after your left two decades ago.
1. Philip Shuaibu 2000-2001
2. Segun Olaleye 2001-2002
3. Daniel Onjeh 2002-2003
4. Tony Nwoye 2003-2004
5. Kenneth Orkuma Hembe 2004-2006
6. Yinka Sadam Dada/Femi Osabinu 2006-2008
7. Bashir Babale 2008-2009
8. Ini Ememabong/Jude Imagwe 2009-2011
9. Mohammed Dauda 2011-2012
10. Yinka Gbadebo 2012-To Date
Mr Abdul Mahmud, let me leave you with a piece of advice and better
still ask your informants’ to educate you more before you venture into
such matter again. Thank you Mr Intelligent Mahmud Abdul Aminu.

NANS President 1999/2000
