Alert: Scrutiny on Factional NANS Senate President Comrade Adewumi’s Conduct

Media outlets are urged to take note of Comrade Okunomo Henry Adewumi, who claims to be the factional Senate President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS). Adewumi’s self-proclamation as Senate President has raised eyebrows within the student community, with many questioning his legitimacy and motives. His recent actions have sparked controversy, prompting the need for scrutiny from media professionals.

Reports suggest that Adewumi has been actively soliciting support from various media houses to publish favorable reports about him, yet he has failed to compensate these outlets for their services. This has raised concerns among journalists, who expect transparency and fairness in their engagements.

In a troubling development, Adewumi has publicly criticized Tribune Online Newspaper, accusing them of accepting payment without delivering the promised coverage. This allegation seems to serve as a tactic to draw attention from other media organizations while attempting to deflect blame onto those who have provided him with coverage in the past.

Moreover, Adewumi’s approach appears counterproductive; he is said to seek complimentary coverage from media houses while disparaging those who have previously supported him.

Sources indicate that after receiving positive press, he often undermines these outlets by issuing negative statements. This behavior poses a risk not only to his reputation but also to the integrity of the media landscape. Therefore, media professionals are advised to exercise caution when engaging with Adewumi to avoid potential reputational harm and to maintain their journalistic standards.
