Adeyemi therefore, enjoined Nigerian students to remain focus and trust in the goal to build a better Nigeria. 

"Information from our intelligence has it that some criminals sponsored by some enemies of our nation, human rights have planned to hijack the voice of the people.

"NANS, Nigerians and Nigeria is still suffering from the shock caused as a result of the instigated postponement that was influenced by some cabals, that by all means wants power outside peoples choice. 

"We need to quickly remind President Muhammadu Buhari that INEC is handicap without your support and if you choose to allow this cabal to sleep well in their comfort room; it simply means your personal integrity and your government is going to be dented. 

"We must however inform the malicious criminals shooting from the umbrella of NANS that they should go and return the money they collected from Nigerian politicians, we disown them today, they are not our members, they are thieves and enemies of the students community. 

"While we want to inform the well-meaning and conscious Nigerian students and Nigerians at large to keep calm, remain focus, not to be disappointed about the postponed day of the protest and also trust in our goal to build a better Nigeria we all clamoured to have".
