The Local Government Inspector of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who had earlier summoned a corps member, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, also known as Raye, for criticizing President Bola Tinubu‘s administration has reportedly refused to show up after Nigerian activist cum politician, Omoyele Sowore, accompanied her.
TheNewsGuru reports that a message from the NYSC Local Government Inspector (LGI),instructed Rita, identified by code number LA/24B/832, to report to the Eti Osa 3 local government office by 10 a.m. on Monday without fail.
Recall that Rita via the TikTok handle @talktoraye, expressed frustration over the deteriorating economic conditions in Nigeria, lamenting how hard work seems futile in the face of the country’s financial struggles.
Rita who broke down in tears, shared her frustration over the high cost of goods in the market, further calling President Tinubu’s government a “terrible” one for paying little attention to the hike in commodity prices. Her outcry quickly gained widespread attention, prompting an official response from the NYSC board.
Sowore, in a post via his 𝕏 handle on Monday, said he accompanied Raye to the LGI’s office alongside some legal practitioners.
Sowore said the NYSC official absconded and did not show up throughout their stay.
He wrote: “We arrived at the Eti-Osa LGI offices of the National Youth Service Corps with youth Corper, Ushie Rita Uguamaye in Lagos.
“She was scheduled to appear before the LGI today and we escorted her to their offices with attorneys, Festus Ogun, Adeyinka Oyesomi and Ojienoh Justice but LGI official had absconded failing to show up throughout our stay.
“We will be back! #RevolutionNow #tinubuisaterriblepresident.”
