Students of the Imo State University (IMSU) on Monday booed Governor Hope Uzodinma when he visited the institution for his campaign, as they continued chanting “no light, no light” as the governor mounted the rostrum.
According to videos obtained on Tuesday, the students refused to grant audience to the governor after the electricity workers cut off the power supply to the institution for four days.
“Uzodinma went to the Imo State University to speak to the students and campaign. After mounting the rostrum, we started shouting ‘no light”, because we have not had light for the past 4 to 5 days,” a student narrated.
“This is because electricity workers went on strike over the assault on NLC president, Joe Ajaero,” another student said.
The state will be electing its next governor on Saturday in a contest which is already generating controversies due to the activities of the police, other security operatives and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC.)
