Mr. Oroh emphasized the critical role of President Tinubu in employing diplomatic channels to resolve the ordeal faced by the detained professors. Speaking passionately about Tinubu's commitment to human rights, Oroh highlighted the President's own experiences as a former exile and refugee, fleeing from tyranny and ultimately triumphing over oppression.
"We realize that these people were not detained under the Tinubu-led administration. Bola Tinubu is a human rights advocate," stated Mr. Oroh.
"Now there is renewed hope, and we want that hope to be channeled towards engaging with our neighbors. We want him to intervene with the Cameroonian authorities to secure the release of these professors."
