NANS described the statement as baseless, insisting that it was made to belittle them.
The union urged Adeyanju to stop clout chasing and poking his nose in its affairs.
Speaking via a statement by its Senate President, Akinteye Babatunde, the Association stated that it would continue to fight for the interests of Nigerian students and Nigerian people.
Babatunde urged Adeyanju to focus on getting justice for those who were arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protest.
He said:“We suggest that Adeyanju redirect his energy toward cleaning up the mess within himself.
“Instead of poking his nose into the affairs of NANS, we suggest that he focus on getting justice for those who were arrested during the End Bad Governance protests. He should concentrate on what matters rather than chasing clout and attempting to drag NANS into his agenda.
“For someone who claims NANS is “dead,” it is curious that Adeyanju and others still expect us to join the very struggles they claim to fight. We have never been afraid of standing up for what is right, and we only engage in struggles we understand fully and approach with knowledge of the rudiments involved.
“NANS remains undeterred. We will not be distracted by those who have made a career out of using falsehoods to rise to prominence.”
