Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (OAU) today stoned and booed President Goodluck Jonathan canting “Ole, Ole, Ole,Ole” which in Yoruba means thief.

 The President, who was at the OAU to attend a summit by a Yoruba group, had used the occasion to  identify with the Yorubas as the 2015 general election approaches praising the achievements of the Yoruba leaders in Nigerian history.

 But the students of the university were not amused by his praise as they carried plarcards some of which read: “we are not responsible for Jonathan’s ineptitude”, “Dont sell education like you sold electricity”, “We demend total reversal of 2014 hiked school fees” etc.

 The students, who were later chased by security men also booed Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, who tried to calm them down.
