The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it was unreasonable for the First Lady, Patience Jonathan to have decided to receive an Honorary Doctorate award in South Korea, even when the nation’s universities remain shutdown under the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

APC Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this in a statement issued in Lagos. The statement asserted that if the First Lady and her advisers were reasonable enough, it would have been very obvious to them that embracing such an award when Nigerian students were lamenting over ASUU strike would affect the sensibility of Nigerian students.

The statement reads,”In their eagerness to gobble up one spurious award after another, they forgot that if the Hansei University in South Korea had been shut by a strike because the government there has repudiated an agreement it willingly signed with the teachers, the institution would not have been able to give any honorary degree to anyone.

”A government that is unwilling to spend the nation’s resources on the education of its youth has no qualms about wasting the same resources for a junket by the First Lady and her cheerleaders halfway around the world for what is nothing more than an ego-massaging award,” it said.


APC sarcastically said that the reasons behind the award of the Honorary Doctorate to the First Lady was particularly interesting, which is that, “she’s a humanitarian who has dedicated her life to working for the less privileged in Nigeria and Africa especially for women and children. Her vision as the defender of the poor in Nigeria fits into Hansei University’s motto of a practising Christian.”

”What the university forgot to add is that while the First Lady may have dedicated her life working for the less privileged in Nigeria, there is no indication that she and her husband are sparing any thought for the poor Nigerian students whose dreams for a better future have been put on hold by the long strike that has paralyzed academic activities in public universities,” the party said.

The statement further said that the First Lady should have used her humanitarian gesture to advocate for the suspension of ASUU strike instead of her acceptance of an award.

”It is instructive that the First Lady would rather corral some hapless women to the Eagle Square in Abuja to illegally campaign for her husband, in furtherance of her ‘humanitarian’ gesture, instead of leading a campaign of concerned mothers and ‘humanitarians’ to protest the deadlock in ending the strike in our public universities,” APC said

Am not an APC advocate but then, there are elements of truth in what they said. Why would a wife of a national leader be receiving award from foreign uni. when Nigerian public uni. are on heavy padlocks for closed to 4months now. It shows the height of insanity. No sane wife of a president will bargain for such an award esp. at this delicate period of time. In what ways has she co-operated with her husband/fg to end ASUU strike rather than gathering uneducated market women to protest in NASS complex?

Anyways, as usual, i hope this thread to divide into two factions (the pro & anti GEJ/PEJ) if it ever made it to the front page. grin

If you are an ANTI GEJ/PEJ, click 'LIKE'
and

If you are a PRO GEJ/PEJ, quote me. grin

These same bastards told PEJ that she is just a domestic appendage and now the same riffraffs want her to help solve ASUU strike? Bunch of scumbags and hypocrites.
