Pro Acad Lecturers Endorse Buhari, Say Atiku Part Of Nigeria’s Problem
Top lecturers under the aegis of Progressives in Academics have declared support for the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Pro-Acad, a group of Professors and other members of academics in Nigerian universities, polytechnics and colleges of education, made the declaration on Wednesday at a press briefing in Abuja
The convener, Prof. Bolarinwa Bolaji, claimed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, was part of Nigeria’s problems and could not be trusted with power again.
He recalled that Atiku, as the vice president between 1999 and 2007 and chairman of the National Privatisation Council sold national assets to his friends.
While citing a statement by Atiku to privatise the NNPC, the group warned Nigerians against those who sold national assets in the past.
“The people who put us in this mess must not be allowed to come back to power. They obviously have nothing to offer. They had been tested but had been found wanting,” he said.
Bolaji said corruption in the PDP-led administration in Nigeria in 16 years forced multinational companies and industries to relocate from Nigeria to neighbouring countries, partly because of lack of supply of electricity.
“The effect of this relocation is unquantifiable. Millions of Nigerians working in those organisations lost their jobs.”
The group also blamed $2.1bn arms fund diverted by the office of the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) under former President Goodluck Jonathan for the worsening case of insecurity in the country.

Keep on fooling yourselves,as educated as people like you claimed, you cannot understand that the PDP and APC are the same group of people..your so called Buhari don’t even know what’s happening in Nigeria, his own wife publicly said he’s not in charge.
Why is it that they never charge Atiku for his crimes since their so called corruption fight? Now, do you understand why they are all the same? Hopeless country.

Nigerians and dead brain. Why vote for any level of evil at all? There are younger alternatives. Only a fool will continue doing things the same way and expect a different result.
Buhari that doesn’t even remember what year he was elected. I’m sure he’s not even sure the president of which country he is. Which one of you will hire this man to run their company. Yet people are still shouting APC.
I wander who sweared for majority of Nigerians.
