“It’s 2 years and 166 days since he promised, yet none of the graduands received a naira even the first class graduands were unattended to when they went to his office,” Mr Ekpo wrote in the Facebook post, adding that Mr Emmanuel may have “scammed” the students.The university, in the expulsion letter, said Mr Ekpo’s article was a “breach” of the matriculation oath and a violation of the university rules and regulations enshrined in the Student Information Handbook.

You can see the apparent hypocrisy by the PDP and their Governors. When Twitter was temporarily banned by Nigerian government, Ologbodiyan and other PDP stalwarts were asking for the head of the President. So much for free speech!

Is this news going viral to demonize udom? If u were d governor will u not deal with this guy?how could he insult govt which is trying

Ok.......? Gathering a storm .......

Tyrannical tendencies... Before you criticize the government of Akwa Ibom State it is common knowledge that you have above N3m for bail bond... That's the status quo. Imagine people that got to the office on the shoulders of people...

Is the Governor above insult? He is a public servant and should expect that criticism both insulting, objective and not-so-objective would be common. What is the business of the University in this matter? Are they that jobless as to be policing Facebook posts?

Even Donald trump got insulted people insult Biden everyday but our leaders wants us to dobale and greet dem after stealing from us 🤡

Wahala

The university authority should ask itself a simple like, if a man says something and fails to do it and if man is asked to do something and he fails to do it? Which of these brings about self destruct?
