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.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
