Now the strategy is to use the academia to help rig election for the certificate forgers, miscreants and the lowest of the low in the society? 🤔

You should rather ask Benjamin Kalu to explain how he was in law school while simultaneously undergoing his National Youth Service (NYSC) , a clear contravention of the NYSC Act

It's a federal University so the appointment is per tinubu's approval.
Besides, she's a pastor and has already signed the necessary papers to undergo intense pastoral mentorship by pastor oluremi tinubu so that she can function optimally wherever she's posted to, during the 2027 elections.
Congratulations to her as she's finally won a seat on the table of cocoyam eaters.

So calculations are well orchestrated across the country with the corrupted vice chancellors all over.So this is a big opener for the opposition,any VC found to compromise should also be living a compounded status for the rest of his / her live.

He has direct communication ties with naija first son.

His wife is in charge of a big portfolio in Abia
Federal & some State Institutions are 90% influenced by him ...

There is a pending DG announcement in Abia! (make I no talk)
The woman is a Pastor in his church, just like two previous Federal Institutions appointments (also Pastors in his church).

This VC matter was decided since Oct, we all knew 😂
