The National Union of Borno State Students (NUBOSS) has strongly condemned outrightly the recent endorsement of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for re-election by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) President, according to its president Comrade Shettima Umar,

President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Comrade Tijani Usman Shehu had in January endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election, saying electing General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as Nigeria's president will be tantamount to taking the country backward.

Umar however described the action as undemocratic, unconstitutional and unpatriotic. According to him “no Association, individual or groups of persons have such power to handpick a candidate without proper consultation within all stakeholders."

"The endorsement which we believed was strongly sponsored, The NANS President who is a Member of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation endorse jonathan in return of the gesture of he been part
of the campaign committee but not with the interest of a single Nigerian Students."

"Bad governance is not only rooted in bad leadership but also bad citizenship while responsible citizenship can produce a responsible leadership."

"We, the entire Borno State Student strongly condemn such blind endorsement, The song of sorrow makes the heart bleed, Nigerian Students and Youths have suffered so much under the present federal government led administration and these sufferings are still very fresh in our thought while history has given us another opportunity to reposition our beloved Nigeria in the forthcoming general elections slated for 28th March and 11th of April 2015." he added.
