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.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.

He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
