“ASUU is a very useless union – “Bashir El-Rufai, a son of the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai

Nigerians on social media have reacted furiously at the comments made by Bashir El-Rufai, a son of the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday, after he described the Academic Staff Union of Universities as a ‘useless union’ that should be dissolved and replaced with educators who care about students.

This comes after ASUU decided to extend its ongoing strike.

Bashir made the statement on Twitter, saying, “ASUU is a very useless union. They should be scrapped and replaced with educators that actually give a damn about students and how that translates to the future of this country.”

ASUU commenced strike on February 14, 2022.

Reacting, Facebook users condemned the comments by Bashir, without sparing his father as well.

A user, Oluwaseun Adewole, said, “This idiot no school for Nigeria ooo. I’m not supporting ASUU but I won’t tolerate any banter from those who have led ASUU to their insensitivity.”

“Like father, like son. Terrorists have taken over Kaduna State under his father’s watch, but he hasn’t told his father that he is useless. It’s not surprising anyway! His dad is foul-mouthed. Imagine a governor describing terrorists as “area boys” and “business men.” The amalgamation was a blunder,” Sanmi Ajibade wrote.

Joshua Oladepo, reacting, said, “This fool doesn’t know the pain we are going through schooling in Nigeria.”

“This one has used cap to cover his sense. No politician children has the right to comment on any issue in this country because they are not facing what Nigerians are facing. Stay abroad and mind your business with your head like Igneous rock,” Walshak Kos wrote.

“I am not angry with him for making such useless statements. My anger goes out to those mad people here that will still vote the All Progressives Congress/the Peoples Democratic Party,” Monday Omos wrote.
