Senate Speaker, Gbajabiamila Attends US University Amid ASUU Strike, NLC Protest
Some Nigerians on Twitter, Tuesday, expressed displeasure as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila resumed in a university in the United States of America despite the lingering strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Vanguard reports that academic activities in the government-owned universities have been put on hold in the country since lecturers boycotted classrooms since February 14.
In a development to rally support for the striking lecturers, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) began a two-day protest across the country over the failure of the federal government to meet the demands of the union.
Gbajabiamila had on Tuesday tweeted via his verified Twitter handle, @femigbaja that he had gone back to the Harvard Kennedy School.
“Back to class. In a leadership course @havard @Kennedy_school. Forget the number of grey hairs, one is never too old to learn.”
Reacting to his post, Nigerians expressed displeasure, anger and frustration as Gbajabiamila seen in a poise with a White man in one of the photos posted alongside the tweets.
@daemperor007 said: “You know they keep showing us they don’t give a rat’s as* about the masses even in the midst of campaigning for Tinubu. You’d think Gbajabiamila would see this as insensitive but you’d be kidding if you think they care.”
“All I wanna say is that they don’t really care about us,” @Arinzethegreat said.
According to @taemietaryour, “Laffs, leadership course, indeed, if someone has to teach u abt leadership my guy, u will fail.”
