a human rights radio campaigner, Ahmad Isah, has kickstarted a campaign to raise ₦18 billion for the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Isah kicked off the fundraising campaign on Berekete Family, a radio show dedicated to addressing human right issues of everyday Nigerians.
Isah, while speaking on the initiative, expressed that the campaign is not to put down the government, but to support the government’s efforts in resolving the issue.
In a tweet, Isah addressed President Muhammadu Buhari, telling him that there is suffering among citizens.
President Muhammadu Buhari, this is one of your patriotic citizens saying that there is hunger in our Country.
Nigerians are suffering.
Some of the people that surround you are not telling you the truth.
Please, hear us, my President #ASUU is still on strike.#OrdinaryPresident— Ordinary President Ahmad Isah (@OrdinaryGcon) June 2, 2022
Speaking on his radio show, the human right activist also accused people around the President of not reporting the the true state of the Nation.
He then advised that the president sends trustworthy delegates, in disguise, to infiltrate the society and get the “real feelings of the people.”
“Mr President sir, incase you are not aware students have been on strike for months now and there is no sign that ASUU is about to call off the strike. What they are asking for is N18 billion. You are not the one that made the agreement with them but government is continuous.
“You came, you took over the office of someone who took the decision on behalf of that office. Occupying the office now, you have no other option that to see it through or renegotiate.”
Isah went on to announce his bid to help the government raise 18million for ASUU within two weeks.
He also noted that student Tweeps have also shown enthusiasm towards helping out. According to him some students have pledged between ₦50 to ₦50,000 to help raise the funds for ASUU.
