ABUJA—WORRIED by the prolonged strike by
members of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-
led new Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, has
commenced a seven-day fasting and prayer
starting from today.
To make it very effective, the new PDP has
requested all its members worldwide to
embark on the exercise, adding that the
spiritual intervention was as a result of the
concern of the Baraje-led PDP for the plight of
parents and university students due to the
continued closure of public universities
following the strike by the Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU.
It added that the move was designed to protest
what it described as the Federal Government’s
failure to keep the agreement it signed with
the union in 2009.
Meanwhile, Alhaji Baraje has set up a four-man
Committee with Governor Babangida Aliyu of
Niger State as Chairman to advise the party on
the best way to get the Federal Government’s
negotiating committee and the leadership of
ASUU to reach an agreement on the issues at
stake and thus end this three-month-old strike.
Other members of the committee are Governor
Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, Chinwo Ike,
President of UNIPORT Alumni, and Mr. Timi
Frank, the nPDP National Youth Leader.
The group said: “We sincerely solicit the
patience of Nigerians while appealing to the
Federal Government and the leadership of
ASUU to end this imbroglio so that our
children may go back to school instead of
engaging in acts inimical to their future.
“The need for this has become urgent as
reports reaching us indicate that many of these
students have out of frustration and boredom
turned to prostitution, armed robbery and
other vices due to the prolonged strike.
On its secretariat that was sealed by the police,
Eze said: “To the glory of God, contrary to the
prayers of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur’s faction of
PDP, a Federal High Court in Abuja
onSeptember 13, 2013, ruled that the Baraje
faction of PDP should be allowed to operate
without any further harassment or inhibition as
it is not breaking any known law. Justice E.S.
Chukwu in his ruling held that there was no
evidence before the court to show any
tardiness on the part of Baraje’s faction as
claimed by the Tukur-led faction, which
requested it to stop the Baraje-led PDP from
operating.”
