The Lagos State University chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has dismissed speculations that it will hold a campaign rally for one of the political parties.
“It is very obvious to the leadership of the union, especially at the branch level, that our members share divergent political views. Some are even politically indifferent. It will therefore be foolhardy for a union of intellectuals of different political temperaments to seek to decimate its own ranks by luring or coercing members into the campaign of any political party.
“The exco wishes to encourage members to take advantage of the window opened by the Independent National Electoral Commission for the collection of Permanent Voter Cards, to ensure that they collect theirs, and vote for candidates of their choice when the elections come. “We wish all the political parties well, and hope that they will not only play by the rules of the game for peaceful, free and fair elections, but also fulfill their promises to the people if and when they win,” the release read in part.
Members were further urged to continue to reach out to the leadership of the union at any point in time for clarifications on any issue about which they may feel concerned.All rights reserved.
