[3/4, 7:19 AM] +234 805 161 8758: The Peoples Democratic Party, on Thursday, in Abuja demanded the apology and immediate resignation of the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, for “abusing and walking out on Nigerian students who went to his office to plead for his intervention to end the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.”
The main opposition also called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to sack his minister as soon as possible.
The call is contained in a statement signed on Thursday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, titled ‘Attack on Students: PDP demands education minister, Adamu’s resignation’.
PDP held that “by arrogantly insulting and refusing to attend to the member of the National Association of Nigerians Students, Adamu Adamu recklessly abdicated his duties and exhibited an unpardonable discourteousness unfitting of a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, let alone a minister of education.
“Our Party insists that Adamu Adamu’s action is an assault and embarrassment to the nation’s education sector.
“It amounts to spitting in the face of the generality of the Nigerian youths as well as their parents; a conduct that is
characteristic of the impunity, insensitivity and arrogant disdain for Nigerians which have permeated the All Progressives Congress administration.”
