The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, has raised the alarm alleging that some officials of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, are planning to assassinate the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi.
The coalition made the allegation in a statement issued on Wednesday by its President-General, Goodluck Ibem, while reacting to a comment by the spokesperson for the APC Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo.
Recall that Keyamo had, in a tweet on his official Twitter handle, alleged that the former Anambra Governor was planning to fake an assassination attempt on himself and hire some supporters dressed in APC caps and T-shirts to attack some of his party offices.
Reacting, COSEYL stated that Keyamo’s assertion is an indication that the APC is planning to “assassinate Mr Peter Obi because of how he is being accepted by Nigerians”.
The coalition lamented that such a statement would come from a “supposed lawyer who should know better about the consequences of his statement and actions in public”.
