LAGOS – SENIOR Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, Monday, applauded the results of the National Assembly elections so far announced. It said  “it is heart-warming as it will sound a death knell on the debilitating bandwagon effect and money politics.”

President of SSANU, Mr Promise Adewusi, while reacting to the outcome of the elections held on Saturday, argued that it would usher in an era of viable opposition to allow labour concentrate more on the direct welfare of members.

According to Mr Adewusi, who is also a Deputy President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, “it may be too early to conclude but the emerging trend in the National Assembly result announced so far suggests that Nigerians are moving away from voting for political parties to voting for personalities with antecedents of service.

“This is heart-warming as it will sound a death knell on the debilitation band wagon effect and money politics.  It will usher in an era of viable opposition to allow those of us in labour to concentrate more on the direct welfare of our members,” he added.
