Joe Igbokwe, a Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has accused the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of working with the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
According to him, the ongoing strike embarked upon by Nigerian university lecturers is “politically motivated”.
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, during a recent press conference in Abuja, said, “We want to end the strike. We are not suspending the strike. You can only end the strike when all the demands have been met.”
Unfortunately, after several negotiations, the union on Monday declared the strike indefinite, saying that it would not end the industrial action until the Nigerian government met all its demands.
Reacting to the strike saga, Igbokwe on his Facebook page wrote that “It is now absolutely clear that ASUU strike is politically motivated.”
“It is now obvious that they are working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“There are deliberate dubious attempts to stop APC, but they will fail,” he alleged.
