A fierce standoff has erupted between NANS President Atiku Isah and Seyi Tinubu, with accusations of bribery, abduction, and threats. While Isah claims he was offered ₦100 million to support Tinubu’s government and was later abducted, Seyi Tinubu has strongly denied these allegations, calling them “fake news.”
- Atiku Isah claims he was offered ₦100 million by Seyi Tinubu and the Minister for Youth to back Tinubu’s government.
- Isah alleges he was abducted, beaten, stripped, and forced to resign on April 15 under duress.
- Seyi Tinubu denies all claims, calling them “defamatory lies” and “fake news” via Instagram.
- Eyewitnesses and hotel staff found no trace of a security breach or Seyi’s presence at the venue during the NANS inauguration.
- Seyi Tinubu’s team hinted at legal action if the defamatory claims persist.
This clash between a prominent student leader and the president’s son highlights the intersection of political power and youth activism. Isah’s claims, if true, point to a serious misuse of power, but the lack of evidence from eyewitnesses casts doubt on his version of events. With tensions rising and social media amplifying the story, this feud exposes how political influence might extend into the hands of the younger generation. The key question now is whether institutions will step in to investigate or allow this to remain another viral internet saga.
As this saga unfolds, will it be another case of unverified claims, or will the relevant authorities take action to clear the air?
