‘Nigerians need security, not renaming of UNILAG’

The National Treasurer, Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN),
Chief Kenneth Kobani,
yesterday said most Nigerians
need adequate security and
basic infrastructure, not
renaming of the University of
Lagos (UNILAG) to Moshood
Abiola University.
He spoke with reporters in
Port Harcourt, the Rivers
State capital.
Kobani said the broadcast
should not be an opportunity
for making controversial
pronouncements, like changing
the name of UNILAG.
Kobani said: “This is not about
belonging to the opposition
party. The truth is that a lot
must be done to move this
country forward, for the
benefit of Nigerians and their
unborn children. There is no
sentiment about it.
“There will be hope for
Nigerians, if the President
changes his style of
leadership. Some of the people
around him (Jonathan) are
not helping him. How could
they have allowed him to
come up with such a speech,
without considering the mood
of the nation?
“The situation where Nigeria’s
roads, hospitals, schools,
among others, are in bad
shape and the President is
saying that his administration
has achieved results within
the past 12 months is
unacceptable. This cannot be
the transformation he
promised Nigerians.
“President Jonathan’s
broadcast on May 29 was a
distraction. A lot of things
contained in it did not answer
many questions Nigerians have
continued to ask. Changing
the name of UNILAG does not
in any way give hope to
Nigerians, that there will be a
better tomorrow.”
