Suspended student union leader apologizes to management
The student union leader said he was used by external forces to disrupt academic activities in the polytechnic.
Patrick who was suspended in November 2017 alongside two other union members said they were used by some disgruntled elements to disrupt academic activities at the institution.
He begged the Polytechnic's Acting Rector for forgiveness saying “we are all human and therefore susceptible to manipulations by external forces at one time or the other. And as human too, our consciences do tell us that indeed, enough is enough. This is exactly my case in the whole events that have been going on in Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi,’’

He said, “I want to let the general public know that I have never and can never be part of those who want to perpetuate evil in the name of Aluta struggle to disrupt the peaceful running of Auchi Polytechnic.
“I hereby apologize to the management of Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, ably led by the amiable and dynamic Acting Rector, to please forgive me.
“And also to make it known that I am ready to come out plain to defend my actions if called upon to do so.
