ASUU Prolonged Strike: Buhari Fiddles As Nigeria Burns. ~S'West PDP|Ojaomonews
The South West People's Democratic Party (PDP) has lampooned the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC under President Muhammadu Buhari for laying the foundation for civil unrest that may threaten the corporate existence of the country if care is not taken.
The party in a reaction to the 12 weeks strike action recently declared by the striking university teachers said the 'criminal silence' by Buhari did not help matter as it portends nothing but height of insensitivity and cluelessness.
The opposition party in a statement signed by its Zonal Publicity Secretary, Chief Sanya Atofarati Wednesday said;
"One watches with bated anger the frustration on the faces of our students in higher institutions of learning as they planned to begin a nation wide demonstration that would cripple the Nigeria's fragile economy with a view to force the Federal Government to yield to the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities ASUU who had vacated the lecture rooms since February
"An additional 12 weeks of sitting at home by our helpless students would mean they have lost six months of academic calendar which is quite unfortunate and should be condemned by all well meaning citizens of this country
"We feel the pains and anguish of the Nigerian youths whose future is being wantonly destroyed by the present crop of rudderless vagabonds in power some of whom have turned Nigeria into a theatre of the absurd where ministers of Education and Labour have abandoned their duty posts to pursue presidential ambition at a whopping N100million!
"The question on the lips of any right thinking person is who is in charge of Nigerian state? Do we have a President or a lame duck? In time like this, decisive action of a great leader and statesman is required to quench the raging fire but Buhari's criminal silence in the face of the recent three months sit at home ultimatum by ASUU shows a leadership bereft of ideas, lacking moral persuasion and legitimacy to remain in government.
Buhari behaves like the historical Emperor Nero who fiddles when Rome was burning.
The country cannot afford another ENDSARS riots if Nigerian students took to the streets.
"The PDP sympathizes with Nigerian people who are now lamenting voting a wrong party in 2015 and 2019 but have seen the difference between oil and water".
