Blame Buhari, APC for lingering ASUU strike – Bode George

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George has slammed President Muhammdu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress for the lingering industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

Bode, who featured in a Channels TV interview, Politics Today, on Wednesday night, said the APC has no plans for the future of youths in the country.

He said: “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist before you understand what’s happening in the country being managed by the APC. Take any sector in the country— economy, education, health, etc. Are we doing well? Is this nation not drifting badly.

“It’s really bad that our universities are still on strike. Despite the President’s order to the Minister of Education, here we are. Our children are still at home. The party that’s supposedly meant to manage the resources of the country has failed. I hope Nigerians are watching.

He also commented on the visit by APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday ahead of 2023 general elections.

He stressed that the former President would tell the presidential candidate the truth about the state of the nation.

“I don’t know what Bola went there to do, neither do I know what his vision and mission is. But I’m confident the former president would tell him the truth about issues affecting the country.”

He also commented on the ongoing internal crises in his party, urging Governor Nyeson Wike of Rivers State and presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to find common ground in the interest of the party.

He expressed optimism that the opposition would wrestle power from the ruling party and take Nigeria out of the mess in which it was enmeshed.
