ASUU strike will continue if Peter Obi emerges Nigeria’s president – Reno Omokri

In a tweet, Omokri warned Nigerian students who are eligible to vote not to vote for Peter Obi, claiming that the Labour Party candidate is stingy and will not pay ASUU well.

“Nigeria’s 26 million registered student voters should note that a stingy man, like Peter Obi, will not pay ASUU well. If he is elected, expect strikes that will frustrate you. You need a man, like Waziri Atiku Abubakar, who has promised to pay workers a living wage,” Omokri wrote.

Omokri made this statement as government-owned university lecturers continue to engage in industrial actions to pressure the government into granting their demands for higher wages and increased funding for the education sector.

In 2022, the Emmanuel Osodeke-led ASUU embarked on an eight-month-long strike crippling the country’s education sector for almost a year.
