Staff and Students Of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Celebrating PDP Loss.
Staff and students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, were reportedly seen celebrating PDP’s defeat at the just-concluded Edo gubernatorial poll
Today, the staff and students of Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma rejoiced over the failure of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded Edo elections. As it was gathered, these celebrations erupted around the university campus and the entire Ekpoma, and the students were especially pleased. This celebration has brought up relevant discussions on social media, especially on Nairaland, as some individuals complained of the display of partisanship on an academic ground. Some people supported the festivals, explaining that it was the public’s feelings about the instability in Edo state political situation.
The parties are largely a replica of the PDP’s worst political loss in the state, which many perceive as a rejection of Governor Obaseki’s regime. Some clips of the event have been posted on platforms such as YouTube that display the energetic and lively booty among the staff and students of Ambrose Alli University.
This spontaneous celebration is revealing of the politically charged nature of the state in question in terms of its electoral politics, but it also opens up questions of politics and education, and many people, especially some academic bodies, insist on political impartiality. However, the reception in the university shows that the results of the election changed to suit the sentiments in the area, which are part of the shifting political tides in the state.
