“I made these claims owing to the picture of Seyi Tinubu painted to me by Ladoja Olusola.”
Factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Atiku Isah, has retracted his explosive claims against Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, apologising publicly via Facebook on Wednesday.
Isah had alleged that Seyi and Youth Minister Ayodele Olawande offered him a N100 million bribe to promote the president and claimed he was abducted and assaulted for refusing.
Seyi Tinubu denied the accusations.
However, in a post titled “Setting the Records Straight/Public Apology to Seyi Tinubu,” Isah wrote:
“It has become clear that the offer of N100,000,000… was clearly untrue,” blaming rival NANS president Olusola Ladoja for feeding him falsehoods to discredit him.
He added, “I made these claims owing to the picture of Seyi Tinubu painted to me by Ladoja Olusola, who swore to me that Seyi was doing everything to ensure I am not alive to serve my tenure.”
Isah admitted Seyi was not present at his alleged assault, further inten sifying the leadership crisis within NANS.
