DOCTORS TIMEOUT FAMILY (DTOF) WARNED US ALL LAST YEAR JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION ON THE DANGERS OF ELECTING A GOVT APPOINTEE TO LEAD AN ASSOCIATION LIKE NMA BUT FOR SELFISH REASONS MOST OF US WENT AHEAD

Good evening my people , now that Prof Ujah has accepted his Vice Chancellorship appointment, i feel the next rational step is for him to withdraw his candidacy for NMA President. No long story! If he does otherwise and proceeds with his NMA candidacy after accepting his VC appointment, then something is hugely wrong.The earlier we stop defending the indefensible the better for us all NB..We are for everybody and for no body ie We are not campaigning for or against anybody in the forthcoming election. We have a strong feeling that Prof wont allow some political jobbers and masquerades who have long remained in Naija doctors political space solely for their personal interest and self aggrandizement to coerce him into this moral conundrum. Some people have been eaten up and still derive their source of livelihood from NMA NARD etc. ..now they see Prof as a potential winner and want to force him to take this journey of monumental disgrace and humongous ignominy just for their personal gai
