The Biafra Nations
Youth League (BNYL) has condemned the attack on former President Goodluck
Jonathan’s residence by unknown gunmen on Tuesday.
Reacting to the attack
in a statement issued later yesterday, the Chief Press Secretary of the group,
Richard Odung, said that youths in Bayelsa have decided to allow themselves to
be used for politics while wondering why there is always a do-or-die approach
to politics in the Niger Delta, especially in Bayelsa State.
The group suspected
that the loss of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) which Jonathan was accused of sabotaging led to the
attack.
The BNYL Spokesman
said: “I think it is the suspicion that Jonathan sold his party out to APC when
he visited Buhari that is leading to this nonsense some of our youths who have
decided to allow themselves to be used as political thugs.”
He hinted on the
reasons the Niger Delta have not been able to progress in terms of development
and unity enhancement, saying: “To us, we feel that lack of understanding of
what politics is all about is why we cannot record progress and unity in the
South-South, in 2019 they were ready to die for Jonathan, but today they are
after him, Politicians knows where they meet, they create problems for personal
interests.”
Odung also drew the
attention of the group that threatened the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
over attack on Chibuike Amaechi, adding: “The group which called itself
Concerned Niger Delta Group should first educate themselves, unite their people
before coming out publicly to exhibit their stupidity.
“The truth is that some of our South-South politicians especially in riverine Rivers State and Bayelsa are using these their political militants disguising as freedom fighters to haunt themselves for selfish moves.”
