Teach Inhuman Political Rulers A Big Lesson, Sowore Tells Students

Nigerian human rights activist and 2023 presidential candidate, Omoleye Sowore has admonished students affected by the rolled-over Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike to commence "a mass action" to emphasise their discontent.

Sowore reacted to the 12-week extension of the strike by the union which was announced on Monday by the President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke.

The President said the rollover was to give the Federal Government sufficient time to resolve its issues with ASUU.

Sowore after the announcement took to Twitter to advocate a "mass action" to "teach inhuman politicians a big lesson" with the hashtag "we can't continue like this".

“Nigerian youths/students must teach these inhuman political rulers playing Russian roulette with their future a BIG lesson.

“Let the organising start now, shut down everything with mass action, stop everything until our higher institutions are well funded #WeCantContinueLikeThis.

“They’re doing this because their kids don’t attend Nigerian universities! #Revolutionnow!,” the activist wrote.
