Host of Brekete Family radio show Ahmad Isah popularly known as Ordinary President has created a bank account for donations to end the ongoing strike that has crippled federal varsities across the country.
Mr Isah published the account on Thursday via Twitter, calling on the public to “make a difference” by donating to end the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) strike.
The broadcaster on Tuesday announced he would donate N10 million for the cause. He urged presidential aspirants to donate the same amount they used in buying party forms.
“I the #OrdinaryPresident will donate #10million towards the demand of ASUU from FG, to get the universities running.
“Let all our presidential aspirants who bought party primaries forms donate the same amount they use to buy their forms,” he said.
Isah noted that he was not antagonising President Muhammadu Buhari, but speaking as a concerned citizen.
“President Muhammadu Buhari, this is one of your patriotic citizens saying that there is hunger in our Country. Nigerians are suffering. Some of the people that surround you are not telling you the truth. Please, hear us, my President #ASUU is still on strike,” he tweeted Thursday.
ASUU strike commenced in February over the government’s failure to meet its demands.
Popularly known in Abuja as Ordinary President, Isah got more exposure in 2021 after he was featured in a BBC Africa Eye documentary slapping a woman during an interview on his popular radio show Brekete Family which airs on Human Rights Radio 101.1 in Abuja. The woman allegedly set her niece’s hair on fire after accusing her of being a witch.
