WAEC’s Delete Drama: Video Praising Obi Sparks Uproar
2023 Election- Afinefere Tells Peter Obi To Review His Manifesto
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) found itself at the center of controversy when it deleted a YouTube video that praised Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra state, for his significant contributions to the state’s educational achievements. The video highlighted how under Obi’s leadership, Anambra moved from the 27th position to the 1st in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) rankings.
WAEC’s action to remove the video sparked outrage among the public, raising questions about the integrity and independence of the examination council. This incident fueled further discussion on social media platforms, where users expressed their disappointment and concern about the implications of such a move.
Critics argue that the deletion of the video suggests a possible political motivation or influence, undermining the credibility of WAEC as an independent educational institution. They also point out that this could have wider implications on the education sector, potentially affecting future rankings and assessments.
The controversy has led to calls for greater transparency and accountability from WAEC, with many demanding an explanation for the video’s deletion. This incident has also highlighted the need for a thorough review of the processes and governance structures within the council to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
As of now, the public awaits a detailed explanation from WAEC regarding the deletion of the video and its implications on the integrity of the council’s assessments and rankings.
