Dr. Karol Ogbinaka, the Chairman of Unilag’s ASUU chapter has said that President Jonathan was wrong for statements credited to him describing the action of the Union as subversive.
“How can our action be subversive when we do not have arms and ammunition? We take exception to that. We are academics not coup plotters. I have a feeling he was misquoted. I wish to deny this on his behalf because it is an extreme statement,” Ogbinaka said.
In a related development, ASUU President, Dr. Nassir Fagge, has asked University lecturers not to partake in the signing of any register on or before the December 4th resumption deadline at Varsities. The leader of the Union said they should not fear loss of their jobs.
He said, “Comrades, can you see the unfolding drama? Now Jonathan says they didn’t give ultimatum. That the vice -chancellors did and Wike became their trumpet. But NUC’s (National Universities Commission) ultimatum is by the Federal Government to us to resume or get sacked.
“Wike’s press address says ‘FG has directed’ not ‘VCs have directed.’ Be calm, stay resolute. By God’s grace, we are on course.”
FG dnt go back on your word make sure they all loose thier jobs,fear is stumbling around them and the people in politics behind it all are now weak and out talking on your oder which is the only solution to disolve assu as well as weakening them.
