Professor Yakubu Ochefu, a Professor of Economic History and Strategic Studies at Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University in Makurdi, Benue State, has rejected his nomination to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) National Campaign Council.
In a statement he personally signed, Ochefu said he had formally written to the council’s chairman to decline the appointment and requested that his name be removed from the list. He explained that the organisers included his name on the list without his knowledge or consent.
Ochefu further stated that he has never belonged to the NDC party and is not a member of the party’s National Campaign Council. The development has triggered widespread discussion on social media platforms, with the #StrategicPartnership hashtag trending in connection with the controversy.
