Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has criticised Nigerian politicians over the lingering Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
Students of many government-owned universities have been away from the classrooms since February when ASUU commenced its ongoing strike.
All efforts to make the lecturers return to the classrooms have been futile.
On Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari asked ASUU to stop keeping children at home.
Posting on his Instagram page on Tuesday, Musa said it was a shame that political office holders flaunt the pictures of their children who school abroad while those in Nigeria are at home.
“To our political office holders whose children school abroad. How do you feel visiting your children abroad, taking pictures in their schools and posting online while ASUU is on strike?
“Like seriously, how is it ok to you? You’re running a system that you don’t even believe in. Show me one Oyibo leader whose child is schooling in Nigeria.
“E no day touch una? And when you return Nigerian youths will still gather and sing praises for una.(sic),” he wrote.
Musa’s post comes after pictures of the graduation of the son of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, from a UK university flooded the internet.
Aside from Wike, two other governors attended the graduation. They are Governors Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
