COSEYL, the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, claims it is preparing a list of governors in the area who have embezzled public funds, and that they will not be permitted to run for office in the upcoming election.
Goodluck Ibem, the coalition’s President-General, expressed regret about the alleged high degree of corruption among several governors in the area, saying that “sharp practices of some of these governors have dragged their states backward economically and otherwise” in a statement.
The coalition urged all individuals in the region to work together to ensure that no corrupt person holds a government post in 2023.

The statement reads, “As youth leaders of the zone mandated by our people to defend their interest at all times, we have decided to expose all corrupt governors for probe to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, ICPC and other relevant authorities saddled with the responsibility of scrutinizing public office holders.
“We are investigating our governors and any of them found wanting will not be elected or permitted to hold any other political office in the coming election. Ndigbo cannot afford to make another mistake of presenting corrupt persons for any political office again in 2023.
“We call on our people to rise up and defend our common wealth from being embezzled and taken away by those we elected to protect our interests. The time to act is now”.
