Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation,Ohanaeze NdigboYouth Council Worldwide, has expressed shock over comments made by Governors Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State; Umar Ganduje, of Kano state and others against President Muhammadu Buhari’s broadcast on Thursday.
The group described the comments as treasonable.
Recall that el-Rufa’i had while faulting President Muhammadu Buharis national broadcast, said some persons were plotting a military takeover.
He had claimed that the cash crunch was planned along with the fuel shortage existing since September 2022 so that the 2023 elections do not hold at all, leading to an Interim National Government to be led by a retired Army General.
Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, had also earlier made a similar utterance, alleging a plot to destroy the countrys democracy.
In an issued statement yesterday, the National President of Ohanaeze youths, Okwu Nnabuike said el-Rufa’i and Ganduje should be invited for questioning.
Okwu, who said there was something sinister up the sleeves of the governors, wondered when they suddenly became defenders of the masses.
We call on Nigerian youths not to be deceived by these men who are ganging up against the nation. They are instigating the youths to occupy the streets in order to accomplish their plan of truncating the electoral process. Nigerian youths should resist this temptation; El-Rufa’i, Ganduje and their cohorts do not mean well for the masses”, the Ohanaeze youths stated.
