Protect Human Rights Of Dr. Akindele Akintoye, Protect The Investments In Duport Refinery
The All-Africa Students’ Union (AASU) has issued a press statement condemning the persecution and unjust treatment of Dr. Akindele Akintoye, a renowned investor and entrepreneur, and owner of Duport Midstream Company Limited.
“We have observed with great chagrin, the protracted persecution and the unjust treatment of Dr. Akintoye Akindele…who has been subjected to a relentless campaign of harassment, defamation, and false accusations by some shrewd Business Opportunists led by Kola Abiola, and cohorts,” said HE Osisiogu Osikenyi E., President of AASU.
Dr. Akintoye Akintoye is a faculty member at the University of Lagos Business School, lecturing in Finance and Entrepreneurship, and a renowned philanthropist, providing expensive scholarships to Ivy League Schools. He is also an active patron of various student and youth organizations, including AASU.
The union accused Kola Abiola and his cohorts of being behind the persecution of Dr. Akintoye Akintoye, citing a public statement released by members of the Chief MKO Abiola Family and heirs to his Estate.
“Given the Statement publicly released by members of the Chief MKO Abiola Family and heirs to his Estate; it is succinctly clear that Kola Abiola and Wuraola Abiola are lethally against the image, life and investments of our Patron – Dr. Akintoye Akindele; and responsible for his many ordeal,” the statement read.
AASU described Dr. Akintoye Akintoye as a “good man, patriotic Nigerian who is passionate about a better Nigeria” and called on the Nigerian government, Nigerian Police, and all stakeholders to protect his human rights and the investments in Duport Refinery.
“We know Dr. Akintoye Akindele as a good man, patriotic Nigerian who is passionate about a better Nigeria; and we wish unequivocally call on the Nigeria’s Government, Nigerian Police and all Stakeholders to Protect the Human Rights of Dr. Akindele Akintoye; Protect the Investments in Duport Refinery,” the statement said.
The union emphasized the importance of protecting Dr. Akintoye Akintoye’s human rights and the investments in Duport Refinery, which is developing the first Energy Park in Nigeria to mitigate the lingering energy crisis in the country.
“We must not allow this negative precedence on ‘Ease of Doing Business’ in Nigeria to register in the credentials of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu that is doing so much to attract Investors,” the statement added.
The press statement was signed by HE Osisiogu Osikenyi E., President of AASU, and released from the union’s headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
