Also, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has called on the European Union Election Observation Mission to ensure that over three million eligible Nigerian students are allowed to vote for their preferred candidate in the election slated for February 25.
Speaking Monday evening during a meeting with the EU-EOM observers, Obi said, “I am sure the Independent National Electoral Commission will do the right thing.” He added, “I am sure the universities will give them the break to go and vote. It is important because it is about their future. This election is about these young people, and I am sure they will allow them to go and vote. We will continue to mention it to them as we go along.”
Why
Students should go home and vote, ASUU can't fail all of them, and if they do, it's worth it
If them born una papa well make una call strike if una wan vote make una go vote una self cause una wan steal and spoil country more una Dey find youth una papa Dey mad

Suffer no dey tire these ones.
Unbelievable assu don't want students to be party of this election. They are happy with their every semester strikes.
Pls just for one week biko
Animal
Nothing confuses me like ASUU these days, being a Pro ASUU myself...
This
Is it not the same country where a student will graduate and still have no job while illiterates will have the same job out of sentiments? Any sensible student will leave school and vote in good leadership first. What we need now is a leader that values education first.
And these same unfortunate ASUU professors will participate in the elections as returning officers o. May God judge you all and your generation yet unborn.
Very daft set of people! That's all I can say right now
Mumu people that where on strike for 8 months cannot take a break for elections, after they will be complaining. I think they enjoy the strike
ASUU YOUR SUFFERING JUST STARTED
Who will pay for the students transport fare to and fro if you shut the school for election? Shutting the university and sending students back home to vote merely few months after resumption is not a wise decision, considering the present economical state of most parents.
If you don't want results you are getting, change your strategies....No wonder ASUU is being treated like that.
ASUU, please you have to shut down for this election. Thank you
It’s interesting that almost all the commentators didn’t read the story
The same ASUU that is complaining of bad governance no want students to vote for a change? I think ASUU is fantastically corrupt.
How long is this election? Few days?
This one too play
When it was Asuu strike, this chairman was on every platform shouting now it's time to allow the students get pvc and vote to prevent further strike English enter e mouth,sufferno de tire Nigeria
inecnigeria how do our students vote in this election, without having to travel to their voting areas? Please we need them to vote don't disfranchise them😡.
Its dia civil responsibility.......
Obidients wanted the schools shut after months of prolonged strike that they supported bcs they thought it would help their campaign against the APC. They’ve started cursing the ASUU chairman who was their ally bcs he said schools won’t be suspended for election 😂
But you guys shutdown schools for 8 months in the name of ASUU strike
Shameless ASUU.
Now that the youths (who are clearly the majority) have woken up and are ready to vote and decide their future, its begining to smell like ASUU has already or is negotiating with forces on how to tactically keep the youths away from the polling units... Professors of DOOM!!!
No one has ever done that before. Why now? Some Obidiots I guess.
Just imagine
He Dosent want good government as to continue his business as usual
But u had the power to shut down universities over unpaid wages. Men can’t these folks think outside the box ni? U still want to empower those that cheated u back into power and start crying again. Una no Dey taya to face ngige ni over unpaid arrears ni?
Oga you better send them home before they kill my son ,because una country n well at all
Look at people that should champion voting by the youths and students to elect a government that will listen to them. A union that was at home for 8 months is ready to disenfranchise over 5 million voters to re-elect their traducers.
That's why he is where he is.
When this Man was crying, running from pillar to post over Asuu strike and FG’s less concern altitude. Now you have an opportunity to save same institutions from future strike you’re here flexing muscle, misplaced priority that’s why Dr.Ngige never took you guys serious.
Which rubbish talk is this 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
If all the students agree to go home to vote in the coming elections, will they fail all the students?
Peter Obi and obident oya come and attack ur friend ASUU
Is this not the same man that Ngige gave a slap during one meeting with ASUU & FG?
ASUU should not come back shouting federal government is owing them bla bla bla if they can not allow the students to go and vote
Hence, denying citizens rights to vote😭😭.. this country
But you fit strike 8 month common sense
But they can shutdown for personal interest not for national interest. And there want a leader that will listen to them .
ARISEtv channelstv it is bcos of strikes that I know this face, just help to elect a bad govt & come on air to cry about your welfare…we go enter that meeting flog una with bench…
Suffer no dey tire this fool, they would have bribed him personally to go back to class after the strike because he achieved absolutely nothing!!
Make no body tell me to respect elders again A lot of them are very foolish and self centered. No sense of direction
And ASUU asked us to vote out APC earlier 😂😂
But you can shut down school for strike
“The NUC is just a regulatory body. It doesn’t have the power to order the closure of any university. The only authority that can order this closure apart from the Senate of each institution is the Federal Ministry of Education...” ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾Read content before commenting please!
Foolish ASUU , APC will win and they will still go on strike for the next 8 years, the schools that they shut for nothing over 8 months
This people shouldn't forget this children have the right also to decide their president, so if ASUU is saying this then I will have to say they are part of the bad governance and masterminders of all the Strick's just to satisfy their interest. ASUU NAH BAD PEOPLE
if una like shut dwn if una like stay open if strike start all this noise we’ll remind u on how u refuse to allow students travel to go n vote don’t worry they have not settled u people ur complete money u will come bck n cry we are watching
They must have to. No office or institution should by any means DISFRANCHISE 6million students from casting their votes. Students must vote!
But their can shut schools for selfish reason There was a country indeed
LoL...but ASUU can complain when bad leaders deduct their salaries, abandon education sector and say to hell with you people. That's why I don't pity them when govts play Óringó with them
ASUU President, you are getting wrong. And I wonder how you expect the flourishing of tertiary education to materialize when you know who the majority of the students will vote for and you are bent on denying them the opportunity to do so. Think properly, please.
Una never serious be dat
Don’t shut the schools for election, just postpone the tests and exams.
Corrupt men like you are the reason we're where we are today. After collecting bribe you come online to talk nonsense. People like me will never obey this your order because I must go and vote. It's a crucial decision about our future you're meddling with.
Just as expected!
You can't allow our young ones to have a say in their future and tomorrow you will complain of none payments of salaries coz of bad government in which you help directly or indirectly to come to power. What a confused ASUU indeed
Then let inecnigeria take polling unit to the schools
You can shut down schools for a day election. People who hate education will be elected now and your go on 9 months strike. How great you are!!!
But can shut schools when lecturers salaries are not paid or during strike.
Be like ur salary no Dey sweet u collect regularly
We don't shut down our institutions because of election. Members of any government institution or those who receive their services who choose to vote can do so without affecting the continuous running of the institution.
Yes can't shut schools for election and after a rubbish president is voted in the same ASUU will start looking for strike right? Mumu organization.
Then we all youth decide for ourselves and leave campuses ..
Please let them shut the school for just a week for the election. Only the youths have the future of Nigeria at hand. Only them can vote their right choice.
Good news to my ears
ASUU definitely don’t care about the students
Then you're sick
Which kind of nonsense is that!!!!!
If I type now Twitter will block me. ASUU dey play o
Then asuu should stop complaining of half paid salary just keep enjoying it.
So is he trying to deny students their right to vote?
Oga..u no want rest for house small?
Na today. Time to write exam and mid semester tests. Una go learn this wicked politics by force.
Shutting schools to allow students to vote! It has never happened anywhere in the world. Obidients are a funny group.
Please allow them o... Don't short OBI-dient votes o
And you will continue going strike if the wrong candidate win See face like condemn iron All this Prof in the name of INEC returning officers are the ones responsible for our bad country because the rig the wrong politicians to office when they're bribed
Whala be like NUC ohhhh
They love strikes.
If your full salaries is not enough, then overtime work pay won't be enough. APC&PDP is seeking second chance for another 4years in Hell, Tufiakwa. Tinubu is sick with Pakisin disease,We won't continue to suffer again. We must end this hardship permanently. We Vote for Peter Obi
You are disenfranchising your constituency today to help the same people that kept you down, remember your junior colleagues, and do not seek public sympathy when the next salary doesn't show up. Surprisingly, the students are not talking.
'fund' education and strike ll ensue . That's the tragedy we have in our country . We continue to do the same thing and expect a different result . Our mumu still never do!!!!!
poverty . ASUU is part of the problem bedevilling Nigeria . Soon they ll be called to help conduct the election and many of them ll see it as opportunity to 'make money' to buy used cars and answer big men . Few months later the same elements they rig into office ll refuse to
Unbelievable from ASUU.
It is very unfortunate that one of the major victims (:or accomplices if u like) of bad governance in Nigeria are not adding their voices to the call for students( the prime victims ) to vote. We remain in a vicious circle where we recycle the very elements that kept us in abject
I had my polling unit right inside the campus during my undergraduate years. I think many campuses have polling units where students can cast their votes.
Sebi una salary don dey complete now abi? Sense una no fit get till thy kingdom come
Disenfranchisement
But heaven didn't fall for 8 months you were groaning for salary
Because they know that must of the student are OBIDIENT
But u can shut now school for 7 months cos of salary! Wicked people that hates change!! With or without you PeterObi4President2023 God pass una
Now, them don dey use this one. All these old men doesn't know when to be head strong. Awon alagidi oshi
