The leadership of the National Association of the Nigerian Students (NANS) has reiterated its support for President Goodluck Jonathan for the next year presidential election.

The students who, on Friday, made a vow to ensure Jonathan is voted again said it is not yet time for other parties to occupy the presidential villa come 2015.

The NANS, in a statement, who vowed to make Jonathan president through the ballot box in 2015 said “History will be repeated in 2015”

The association also urged the leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to field the chairperson of Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Dr. Ngozi Olejeme as the party’s candidate for the governorship election in Delta State.

The call was made at the inauguration of the Nigeria Students Transformation Vanguard which preceded the 2014 annual convention of NANS in Asaba, Delta State.

The event which was attended by over ten thousand students also had the National leadership of NANS, zonal leaders of NANS, joint campus committee chairmen, over 150 students’ union presidents and 16 former presidents and senate presidents of the association.

Describing the Transformation Agenda of President Jonathan as unprecedented in the history of Nigeria, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) President, Comrade Yinka Gbadebo commended Mr. President for contributing greatly to the development of the country.

The association listed education, youth empowerment and the infrastructural development of the country as areas where Mr. President excelled.

On Dr. Ngozi Olejeme, the association said “Having screed all the aspirants that have come out till date in Delta State, NANS has come to the conclusion that Dr. Ngozi Olejeme appears the only aspirant whose interest, integrity and reputation tower far above others”

Emphasising Olejeme’s contributions to the development of the students movement in Nigeria and her untiring commitment to youth development in Delta State, the association said Dr. Olejeme identified with the programmes of the union and the struggle for better education in Nigeria.

Not unmindful of the criticism that may emanate from the decision of the association, Comrade Yinka Gbadebo challenged those not happy with the decision to come out to debate with key members of the association on the achievements of past leaders and the current president.

He mandated the Transformation Vanguard to collect the signatures of ten million volunteers.

He also enjoined the various chapters to commence door to door advocacy of the Goodluck Transformation Agenda.
