The Middle Belt Movement for Justice and Peace, MBMJP, has said the silence of the leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on the lingering Academic Staff Union of Universities’, ASUU, strike is disappointing, regrettable.
The vanguard reports that the group wondered why the leaders of the ruling party had remained unperturbed and continued to pretend that all was well when in reality the party was fast losing the support of Nigerians. The MBMJP, in a statement by its Secretary, Jerome Nemta issued Tuesday in Makurdi said it was baffling that the leaders of the APC at various level had not thought it wise to intervene to have the issues with ASUU resolved because of the negative impact of the strike on the popularity of the party in the country.
Nemta who recalled the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, days when those in positions of authority like the Senate President at the time would always intervene on knotty issues with labour leaders to have them quickly resolved,said “regrettably what this set of APC leaders are concerned with is totally at variance with the interest of the ordinary Nigerians.”
