The South East Revival Group (SERG) has said it is appalled and condemns in the strongest terms the allegations made by the Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, that supporters of former Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, is behind the planned nationwide protests against hardship scheduled to begin on August 1, 2024.
In a statement signed by its National Secretary, Hon. Agu Chineme, the SERG said “this shameful position by a government that has chosen to spread falsehoods and lies about Peter Obi instead of finding ways to help hungry and suffering masses of Nigeria who are struggling to find their next meal amid insecurity, unemployment, and lack of access to adequate healthcare across the country is unacceptable.”
The frontline South East socio-political pressure group urged the Federal Government not to politicize hunger and deprivation in the land and impacts of bad governance does not spare anybody on basis of tribe, religion or political affiliation.
