“Stop playing selfish politics with President Jonathan’s name” – South-East Youths tell Ohaneze

The South-East Youth Consultative Forum, (SEYCOF) has described the recent verbal attack on President Jonathan by the Ohaneze Youth Council (OYC), as “misdirected and unwarranted”.
The newly elected Youth Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro had in a media statement said Ndigbo were yet to feel the impact of Jonathan’s administration.

However, in a press briefing jointly addressed by the National Coordinator
and the Secretary of SEYCOF, Dr. B.N Ogini and Mr. Nnamdi Anigbo, respectively, they described the OYC’s position as “a baseless propaganda being sponsored by opposition groups against President Jonathan”.
In the statement titled “Telling the Truth About President Jonathan and the South-East”, Dr. Ogini said the stand of SEYCOF was based on truth and not on frivolities as it was out to score any political point.
He urged Nigerians to avoid the temptation of mischief makers who are bent on feeding them with half-truths, thereby making them follow the whirlwind of deceit and many lies against President Jonathan.
The group said it was curious that Isiguzoro took the gauntlet against President Jonathan shortly after he assumed role as leader of the youth wing of Ohaneze.
According to Dr. Ogini, “we found it not only strange and unfortunate but also condemnable that the Ohaneze Youth wing has allowed itself to become a willing tool in the hands of anti-Jonathan elements at this point in time.
