Political discourse on campuses across the nation's universities is now centred on President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the presidential candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and now leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

While some of the students have taken up the campaign for General Muhammadu Buhari to their various campuses, others feel the right person to be with is President Jonathan. These groups of students are leaving nothing to chances and are not hiding their preference for their preferred candidates.

Just last week, the Jude Imagwe-led faction of NANS endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan as its preferred candidate. To walk the talk, NANS is mobilizing students to form Goodluck Clubs in institutions across the country.

But apparently in a swift response to the 'effrontery' of NANS which had earlier put a ban on students participation in off campus politics, another group operating under the banner of Campus Congress for Progressive Change is trying to outsmart the NANS leadership, accusing it of selling out to incompetent politicians.

National coordinator of the group, Comrade Alabi Mohammed Abdulkareem said NANS has a record of "cashing in on the collective interest of the teeming Nigerian students to endorse all manner of aspirants."

He said that what used to be an ideological block for the Nigerian students has been hijacked by few "opportunist professional students" with active connivance of their corrupt mentors in the corridors of power.

According to him, the group and other progressive-minded students of all the higher institutions in the country will not 'sidon and look' and allow what he called "the NANS menace" to submerge them.

Investigations by Campus Roundup revealed that already, various kinds of campaign handbills of General Buhari and President Jonathan are gradually finding their ways into the hands of students, and a couple of them are often pasted on strategic places such as hostels and other visible areas on campus.

Last Monday, the SUG congress held in one of the institutions in the South-West turned into a campaign rally of a sort where some students took their time to distribute handbills of their candidates. Also, the subtle but gradual impact of the group has been felt in tertiary institutions such as MAPOLY, Offa Polytechnic, Oro College of Education, University of Ibadan, LASU, ABSU, OAU, polytechnic Ibadan, AAU, ABU, BUK and NSU, among others.
