Striking Nigerian University Lecturers, ASUU, Working For Opposition PDP –Lagos Governor’s Aide, Igbokwe Alleges
August 30, 2022



The lecturers, under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), have been on strike since February 14.

Joe Igbokwe, Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has alleged that the ongoing strike embarked upon by Nigerian university lecturers is “politically motivated”.

The lecturers, under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), have been on strike since February 14.

Igbokwe, a former spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress in Lagos, also accused the lecturers of working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the ruling APC.

ASUU embarked on strike on February 14 this year following the government’s failure to fulfil agreements it reached with the union.

The ongoing strike revolves around ASUU's demand for funding for the revitalisation of tertiary institutions. The union wants the government to release N220 billion each year; review NUC 2004 Act to tackle the proliferation of universities; make 26 percent budgetary allocation to the education sector; implement the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), among others.

While the union vowed to embark on the strike until the government fulfils all its demands, the government adopted a 'no work, no pay' rule as punishment for the striking university lecturers.

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.

His allegation is understandable considering the fact that he is senseless.

Shifting blame as usual since 2015. If na so,na so apc too do during 2015 election.

You forget that this man is someone father? Imagine that someone tell you your father senseless.

Annoying

During PDP administrations when ASUU was striking, who was ASUU working for?

Judging by the ASUU president body language, one could say that the ASUU president is being partisan. However, with the level of frustration that ASUU is getting from the FG, ASUU could go haywire and be ready to act as spoilers for the government. Buhari tricked ASUU by promising them heaven on earth when he was seeking to become the president, only for him to reneged after the election.

This is how he stupidly blamed the Abuja rail bombing on PDP. Anyway, that is the idiocy with wreched idiots. They are myopic in thinking & dull in reasoning. Long time sis.

Oga act your age o....tell the government which your party hijacked to go and settle ASUU.

Help!!! someone should help Joe Igbokwe before it's too late. Lagos State government should as a matter of urgency/emergency rush him to Yabaleft so salvage a little sense for his family's sake.

This one always talks like a brainless entity.
Buhari settle them na them no resume?

Tinibu's supporters speak as if large part of their brain is holiday

Old script.

This blackmail won’t work.

This isn’t 2015

Kai igbokwe is a fucking disgrace. ASUU was on strike for 6 months under obj, 4 months under jona. Based on igbokwe thinking, who was ASUU worling for

What's the difference between the PDP and the APC? They're the People Deceiving People. They're All Pathetic Criminals.

If APC loses this election, people like Joe Igbokwe may end up deactivating their social media accounts because they cannot withstand the backlashes that will follow every post they make.

People say wisdom comes with old age, but Joe Igbokwe is an elder who lacks common sense. I dey shame for him children.

I am not surprised at all. Joe Igbokwe sounds like a trash can from the gutters. No wonder he was made an SA on gutter cleaning.

So so clueless and still sing the same song they’ve been singing since 2015.
They were so desperate for power without knowing what to use it for.

Thanks so much bro
