Satirist and social commentator, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has accused the Member of Parliament for Effutu, <a id="8d0d175c-4920-4b91-aca1-297182c55ca4" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/news/local/dont-open-criminal-prosecution-against-nam1-afenyo-markins-cautions/775cp2y">Alexander Afenyo Markin</a> as the cause of the recent chaos that ensued at the University of Education, Winneba.

He said the tangles at the administration level is due to the machinations of politicians.

In a post on Facebook, A Plus wrote: "This is what happens when politicians unnecessarily poke their noses into things that do not concern them. The University of Education, Winneba (UEW) eventually closed down following students riot over unreasonable dismissal of lecturers. This is entirely Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s doing".
