The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, has criticized Minister of Communication and Culture Lai Mohammed for his recent claims against Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Remember that the Minister, speaking to the media in Washington DC on Tuesday, accused the LP candidate and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, of encouraging unrest over the outcome of the February 25 election, calling it treasonous.
COSEYL responded by claiming that Obi and Datti were innocent of the allegations in a statement made by its President-General, Goodluck Ibem.
The coalition called the claims “hate speech,” claiming that the Minister intended to create a crisis in the country.
“It is laughable that a man of Lai Mohammed’s standing, who is supposed to portray the good image of the Nigerian state outside the nation, is de-marketing his own country just for his own selfish political benefits and that of his political party the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“Lai Mohammed has committed an international crime in Washington DC and should be arrested immediately and properly investigated and probed.
“A situation where an image maker of a nation like Nigeria says going to court to seek redress is a treasonable offense and an insurrection speaks volumes of what Nigerians are passing through in Nigeria”.
