The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), the Ogun State chapter, and the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS), have vowed to reject the re-election of some federal lawmakers who are not living up to the expectations of the people of the state.

The student bodies accordingly warned political parties against fielding “passive” and “underperforming” candidates to represent the people of the state, particularly at the federal level.

They made this in a statement, jointly signed by the chairman of NANS, Ogun Joint Campus Committee (JCC), Comrade Kehinde Damilola Simeon and the National President of NAOSS, Comrade Oluwagbemileke Ogunrombi, which was made available to journalists on Sunday.

According to them, the people of Ogun State deserve better representatives who will contribute to the socio-economic development of the state.

They berated the senators representing the three senatorial districts of the state for performing below expectations.

The student bodies lamented that the state has had the worst set of lawmakers at the national assembly, who, according to them, have been working against the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

“Ogun people deserve better representatives." We don’t want bench warmers; we don’t want lawmakers that won’t facilitate developmental projects for the state.
