“They are insensitive to the point that they are telling us they want
to buy what they called exotic cars. It is provocative and by the time
Nigerians become fully conscious, they will be stoned."
Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, the National President of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities, has warned federal lawmakers that the country's
masses will stone them.
Ogunyemi stated this on Monday in an interview with journalists at the
end of ASUU’s National Executive Council meeting at the Federal
University of Agriculture, Abeokuta in Ogun State.
He stated, “They (lawmakers) move about in armoured cars at a time
when those who suffered in the rain and sun to put them in office are
languishing in abject poverty.
“They are insensitive to the point that they are telling us they want
to buy what they called exotic cars. It is provocative and by the time
Nigerians become fully conscious, they will be stoned.
“A time will come that the rich would not be able to sleep when the
poor are hungry, and that is what the Nigerian ruling class is not
recognizing.”
