COSEYL Condemns Ndume’s Remarks on Tinubu, Questions Selective Criticism

The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has strongly criticized Senator Ali Ndume for his recent comments directed at President Bola Tinubu.
During a recent event, Ndume alleged that certain forces had fenced off and restricted the President, expressing frustration that Tinubu was inaccessible amidst current economic challenges.
He further criticized the Nigerian government, describing it as being controlled by “kakistocrats and kleptocrats.”
In response, COSEYL issued a statement on Saturday questioning Ndume’s selective vocalization, noting his silence during the previous administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The statement highlighted Ndume’s sudden outspokenness now that a southern leader is in power, suggesting a political shift in his stance.
COSEYL also pointedly remarked on Ndume’s representation of Borno South, implying that if all promised projects and development initiatives were effectively delivered, youth employment would be higher, potentially reducing social challenges in the region.
COSEYL urged Nigerians to view Ndume’s criticisms with skepticism, alleging that his outspokenness coincides with personal interests rather than genuine concern for ordinary citizens.
The organization called for a critical appraisal of Ndume’s motives and a focus on substantive issues affecting governance and development in Nigeria.

WAEC Says English Exam Was Not Cancelled and Warns Against Fake News

WAEC has debunked rumours that the English Language paper written on May 28 was cancelled. The exam, part of the ongoing WASSCE for school candidates, faced serious delays at several centres across the country. In some places, the paper meant to start by 9 a.m. didn’t begin until late at night, leaving students to write under poor conditions, with many using phone flashlights and torchlights to read their questions.
WAEC explained that it received reports of a possible paper leak and had to act fast to protect the credibility of the exam. But contrary to claims making rounds on social media, the council made it clear the paper was not cancelled. In a statement by Moyosola Adesina, the acting Head of Public Affairs, WAEC said a press release dated May 30 announcing the cancellation was fake and not from the council.
She said WAEC doesn’t know where the false information came from, but suspects it was shared by individuals trying to create panic and damage the council’s image. The Head of WAEC’s National Office, Amos Dangut, also commented on the situation, saying the late-night exams held in some areas were far below the council’s standards.
