A group known as Biafra Youth Nations League, BYNL has condemned the attack on former President Jonathan’s residence by yet to be identified gun men.
The spokesperson of the group in a statement said that Former president Jonathan sold his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, after visiting President Buhari.
The group Chief Press Secretary, Richard Odung, expressed concern over the level of ‘Do or Die’ politics in the South-South.
The spokesperson said the loss of the PDP to the APC in the just concluded Governorship election in Bayelsa state of which Jonathan was accused of working against his party could be behind the attack.
The BNYL’s 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.
“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.”
“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.”
