Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL has expressed its displeasure at a statement made by Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF that the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari will pave way for Igbo Presidency.

National Leader of BNYL, Princewill Richard, in a statement made available to Naija News said Igbo presidency “cannot quench the agitations for Biafra.”

“It’s an insult to exchange Biafra with Igbo Presidency, if the Igbo wants Presidency they should take it, not when it is being given to them, because whoever gives you something would take it at any point in time.

“Take for example, Goodluck Jonathan was given Presidency and the same people collected it.” he said.

Richard stated that the plot by the president to deceive the people of the South East region, who cannot be found in his cabinet would not work.

BNYL stated further that the fact that the people of the South East are marginalized by the Buhari Led-government cannot be addressed by the promise of Igbo Presidency.

BNYL further disclosed that the group has taken over grassroots structures in some towns in Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers State where it enjoys more support at the grassroots.

“Our members have taken over some community youth leadership, and Okada Union in towns like Ikom, Obudu, Bakassi, Esit-Eket, Onna,Oyigbo and Andoni.

“We participate in every community elections because without these grassroots structures we have leakages in the struggle,” he said.
