President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, on Wednesday stated that Nigerian students should not vote for politicians who have their children studying in institutions outside the country.
Osodeke was speaking on a Twitter Space Webinar, organised by Premium Times and tagged, ‘ASUU strike, Revitalisation Fund and the Way Forward.’
Speaking on some of the way forwards on the lingering strike, he said students should not vote for politicians who would not represent their interests.
Osodeke said, “Anybody you believe cannot take care of your interests, whose children are busy studying abroad, who are living abroad, don’t vote for them, I repeat, you don’t need to vote for them, because you don’t vote for people who will take your life.”
Osodeke was responding to question from a popular ENDSARS activist, Rinu Oduala, on what Nigerian students could do amid the lingering ASUU strike.
