IGBO Youth Movement has condemned Mallam Shehu Sani over what it described as his “unsuccessful attempt to rubbish national icon and former Vice President of Nigeria, Dr. Alex Ekwueme. Sani, according to the movement, had described the new polling booths that favoured the north over the south as “vendors of unsubstantiated allegations.”
In a statement signed by the founder of the movement, Evang. Elliot Uko,the youth movement described Sani’s comments against Ekwueme as “insulting,” asking: “Didn’t INEC announce new polling units? Didn’t these new polling units undeservedly favour the north against the south?”
The group said, “Nobody is targeting Prof. Jega. Their actions are not only suspicious but frightening. Why change the goal post at this time,” adding, “The mountain challenge of armed insurrection,” Sani alluded to is man made and deliberately sponsored. Nobody is” ‘whipping up unnecessary sectional sentiment’ against anybody. Jega’s actions are clearly suspicious and illogical.
IYM particularly frowned at what it described as Sani’s “selective attack on Ekwueme,” alleging that it was “only designed to appease northerners even as Sani attempts to launch a political carrier in the same north he has consistently abused in his early days, when he was obsessively desperate for media attention and relevance.”
The statement also said “Mallam Shehu Sani should be told that there are other ways, one could re-launch himself within his constituency without abusing national icons. Singling out only Dr. Ekweme for attack says volumes about the real motive,” the statement said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

If an ALMAJIRI can HATE and WISH for the VIOLENT DEATH of an IGBO MAN, how much more a DOG like SANI?
ReplyDeleteThe likes of Shehu Sani and Elrufai are just lucky that it is a democrat like GEJ that is the president. If not they could have been talking from their graves. As for Jega he knows that his criminal role as ASUU president is on record. All the time he collected bribe for IBB to increase the pump price of fuel forcing students to loose years due to planned ASUU strike. We still know you JEGA.
