The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Friday disrupted the second anniversary celebration of the 8th National Assembly at the assembly complex in Abuja.

The New Diplomat learnt the incident occurred at the House of Representatives version of the celebration when Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, introduced Mr Harruna Kadiri as President of NANS.

Instantly, the members of the association, in a loud chorus, were said to have rejected the recognition of Kadiri as their president, and insisted that it should be withdrawn.

They continued the chorus of “no, no, no, Kadiri is not the president of NANS, he is not our president’’ and stalled proceedings in the celebration.

It took some effort of security operatives at the event to get the students out of the chambers for the celebrations to continue.

Speaking immediately to newsmen on behalf of the protesting students, Mr Chinoso Obasi said that he was the substantive president of the association displaying a letter of invitation to the event addressed to him as NANS president.
