The group members fighting over the sharing formula of the endbadgovernance protest money
Members of a coalition, Civil Society Network on Economic and Social Advancement, on Wednesday in Abuja, fought over sharing formula of alleged money for protest.
The group members, who were seen in a hotel in Wuse 2, were at each other necks over an amount how to share money among themselves.
Leaders of the group, as well as other members of the group, however, declined comment on what prompted the disagreement.
In a related development, another group, Arewa Youth Network For Transparency, has called on security agencies to thoroughly investigate leaders of the Civil Society Network on Economic and Social Advancement.
In a statement signed By Comrade Musa Abdulkadir, the group stated that the identity of the leader of Civil Society Network on Economic and Social Advancement needs to be unraveled.
They wondered why the leader of a group calling for financial probity of government couldnt come out boldly with his name.
According to them, the faceless civil society groups lack verifiable facts hence they resorted to hiding their identities. Kyari has not rested on his oars in putting Nigeria in the good light in the worlds petroleum industry.
We urge the Nigerian security architecture to investigate these groups. The President Bola Tinubu administration has shown capacity, hence we cannot as a group, sit still and watch some disgruntled element create smoke where there is no fire. (Daily Independent: Text, Excluding Headline)
