In a stunning development, Igbo youth groups under the aegis of Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) hav declared support for Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu.
As a result of his, they declared June 5 for a two million march in Abuja in support of his Senate presidency bid.
The group in a communique made available to Politics Nigeria urged the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the Senate president to South East for fairness, equity and justice.
The communique was signed by the president General of the Igbo youth groups, Goodluck Ibem; Secretary, Ndubuisi Uche, and Publicity Secretary, Okey Nwaoru, respectively, equally called on President Bola Tinubu to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to attend to medical treatment.
The youths said:
“That Kanu is seriously sick and needs urgent medical treatment by his doctors who know his medical history and know better how to treat him for a better medical result. This is pertinent to help reduce youth restiveness and insecurity in the South East. That the Federal Government should declare a state of emergency on insurgency, terrorism, kidnapping, banditry and other violent crimes in the nation.
“Insecurity is very important to be resolved urgently so that farmers can go back to farm to cultivate and harvest crops for human consumption. Hunger kills faster than bullets. Food security is important to sustain human existence. That, APC leadership should zone Senate president to South East p and Orji Uzor Kalu, the current chief whip, is the consensus candidate of the people. This will ensure fairness, equity and justice.”
