A section of graduates of Kogi State University, KSU, have called upon all graduates, students and staff of Kogi state University, Anyigba, to unanimously vote for Engr. Musa Wada in the Kogi state Gubernatorial election coming up on Saturday 16th of November, 2019.
The call was made at a well attended meeting of the Lokoja chapter of the members of the KSU Alminini association.
In a statement by the spokesperson for the Lokoja chapter of the association, Mrs Jamilat Oiza, listed several reasons why Governor Yahaya Bello must not be voted by any one that has the love of KSU at heart.
According to the Political science graduate, GYB has turned her almamata into a fertile ground for grooming notorious cultist the implication of which manifested with the killing of 13 young students and her cousin, a female student who was unfourtunate to be with her male friend at his lodge and died of Gun shot wound from the cultist last weekend.
According to the visibly angry Jamilat, “can you imagine my former lecturer, Dr. Usman Ogbo, going around grooming students as political thugs under the auspices of emerging leaders forum thereby abandoning his primary responsibilities of research, teaching and community service?
What was GYB thinking when he terminated the appointment of over 100 lecturers mainly Doctors and professors? Where has that ever happened before if his intention is not to close down the University.
Undergraduates are now forced to pay for marks even without writing a single word on their exam scripts. Was that the intention of late prince Audu who started the University or late Professor FS Idachaba who worked tirelessly then to place the name of the University on the world map?” At the mention of both names, she started shedding tears. She continued by saying, a graduate of KSU now have to wait for two years before being Mobilised for national youth service.
Female students are forced against their will to give their body to lecturers to pass exams and where reports with evidence are made, the authorities look the other way by saying they can’t act without the go ahead from the Government represented by Dr. Usman Ogbo.
Instead of taking proper steps and actions to help redeem the image of the school, the students and we the Graduates, all GYB could do was to say he is renaming the University as if the problem of the KSU is with the name. It was at that point she ended by saying “we have resolved to ask all KSU students, graduates, parents and anybody who has anything to do with the university or have the love of KSU at heart to vote out GYB and vote in Dr. Engr. Musa Wada next Saturday. A press release will be made to that effect.
