A group on the aegis of Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL), the apex sociopolitical youth group in the South East geopolitical zone has resolved to categorically dissociate itself from the purported press conference and apology allegedly issued by a group claiming to be a \u201cReform Caucus\u201d within our organisation.<\/p>\n
In a statement signed and made available to Journalists by the President General of the organization and the Publicity Secretary, Comrade Goodluck Ibem and Comrade Okey Nwaoru respectively,COSEYL also stated clearly to the Nigerian public that there is no structure known as a \u201cReform Caucus\u201d in the Constitution of COSEYL. <\/p>\n
The group cautioned that individuals who addressed the said press conference \u2014 Prince Ogbu Emmanuel, Somto Nwokoye and Nellobi Bright \u2014 are not members of COSEYL and have no mandate whatsoever to speak on behalf of our organisation.<\/p>\n
According to the statement,”The so-called apology to the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, , is therefore nothing more than a poorly orchestrated charade involving individuals who are strangers to our organisation.<\/p>\n
“It is unfortunate that the Deputy Speaker and his associates would resort to recruiting non-members to impersonate COSEYL in a desperate attempt to discredit the organisation and mislead the Nigerian public. This action only exposes the kind of conduct Nigerians have come to question and reinforces the urgent need for transparency and accountability in this matter.<\/p>\n
“COSEYL maintains that the issues raised in the petition submitted to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee of the must not be swept under the carpet through propaganda or manufactured statements.”<\/p>\n
Continuing the statement further state,”We therefore call on the relevant institutions \u2014 particularly the LPDC and the NYSC \u2014 to conduct a thorough, transparent, and open investigation into the issues raised so that the truth can be brought to light.<\/p>\n
“As the popular saying goes, a leopard does not change its spots. The recent actions surrounding this matter have further exposed the true character of those attempting to manipulate public perception. Nigerians deserve the truth, and our institutions must ensure that justice prevails without fear or favour.<\/p>\n
“COSEYL remains committed to its founding principles of truth, justice, accountability, and the defence of the collective interest of the South East youth and Nigerians at large. No amount of intimidation, propaganda, or sponsored attacks will derail the organisation from its core objectives.<\/p>\n
“We therefore urge members of the public and the media to disregard any statements issued by the impostors claiming to represent COSEYL, as they are not authorised and do not speak for our organisation.<\/p>\n
“The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders will continue to stand firmly for the truth at all times.<\/p>\n
Justice must prevail.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
