Minority caucus in the House of Representatives has ask the Federal Government to immediately resolve the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities to allow Nigerian students in public universities return to the classroom for their studies.
The caucus also wants the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other stakeholders in the nation’s electoral process to put in place machineries to ensure credible and peaceful general elections in 2023.
In a statement signed by the Minority Leader, Rep. Ndudi Elumelu to mark the nation’s 62nd Independence anniversary, the caucus also asked Nigerians to unite and forge a common front to salvage our country from the political and economic stranglehold of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The Minority Caucus salutes the resilience and commitment of Nigerians towards national peace and development, despite the torments of economic hardship, depilated infrastructure, escalated insecurity, relentless acts of terrorism, state-backed abuses and violations occasioned by the misrule of the incompetent, corrupt and divisive APC.
The statement said “In the last seven years, Nigerians have passed through the most harrowing period in our national history during which they have been subjected to life-discounting experiences including the erosion of personal liberty and freedom, in defilement the very essence of Independence under a democratic framework.
“It is against this backdrop that we must approach the 2023 general elections with undiluted determination to redeem and salvage our nation by ousting the APC and democratically enthroning a purposeful and people-oriented government, come May 29 2023.”
