The National Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, has urged Nigerians to rise up and vote for those interested in the country.

Osodeke was reacting to reports of the Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, obtaining the All Progressives Congress, APC, expression of interest and nomination forms worth N100 million.

Speaking through CDAnews, Osodeke said the EFCC should have invited Nwajiuba for questioning on how he came about N100 million and if he had paid tax for such an amount.

But we are in a country where anything goes; it sounds somehow that he can’t solve the problem in his ministry but wants to rule a country; that tells a lot.

For us, it’s not about one person but the government; we should not personalize it. ASUU is on strike because the government could not meet its demands and not about an individual.”

Nwajuiba and co are just raising money for campaigns; it’s a very sad development for the country, and we expect all Nigerians to rise up during this election and vote for people who can run this country, people who live here and go to hospitals here; those are the kind of people we should be looking out for.

Nigerians should rise up and elect people who believe in Nigeria and not people who come here to collect money and go abroad.”
