The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has kicked against the suspension of Nnamdi Nweze, a professor at the Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU), over his alleged critical stance against the Abia State Government.
The APC described Mr Nweze’s suspension by the university as ill-conceived and a punishment for speaking against the alleged injustice being meted out to civil servants in the state.
The economics lecturer was suspended for a few days over his Facebook post, in which he claimed that tricycle riders earn more than professors at ABSU.
Addressing reporters on Friday in Umuahia, the APC spokesman in Abia, Uche Aguoru, said Mr Nweze’s only offence was speaking out against “bad governance” in Abia.
Mr Aguoru said the lecturer had consistently raised concerns on social media against poor governance across past administrations.
