Ex-ASUP boss condemns attack on Auchi Polytechnic Rector

 
Former Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP), Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi in Edo State, Pastor Okosun George Okosun, weekend  condemned what he called sponsored campaign of calumny against the institution’s Rector, Dr. PhiIipa Idogho.

The former ASUP chairman disclosed that a local magazine in its recent publication accused the rector and her husband,  Dr. Nelson Idogho, of running the federal institution as their personal estate.

But Okosun described the said publications as figment of the writer’s imagination, saying that “there is no truth in the publications save to malign the character of the Idoghos, who have worked hard and are still
contributing their best to human capital development of Afemai land in particular and the country in general.

Okosun, who is a social critic, said, “Madam Rector’s incredible fit by dint of her hard work both in human and capital development stands her out as an Amazon among past rectors of the institution and she should be allowed to be.

“The sundry allegations are no doubt product of a disenchanted and disgruntled group, who has been clamouring for the removal of the rector for no just cause.

“And having failed in their bid, now felt they could use the author of the article obviously for a fee to further orchestrate the blackmail.

“As a former ASUP chairman and a priest speaking from the altar of God, I can tell you that no one staff especially, academic staff can be cowed into silence by any individual or group of individuals from any maladministration as the publications would want the public to believe.

“The author and his accomplices took counsel in a fragile alliance of conspiracy to unleash a diminutive onslaught channeled through a systematic status degradation ritual.
