In a statement signed by Hon. Goodluck Ibem, its President-General and Comrade Kanice Igwe, Secretary-General and made available to DAILY POST on Sunday, the Coalition described the arrests as an affront on Nigeria’s democracy.
COSEYL which is the umbrella body of all the youth organizations in the South-East zone said it condemned in strong terms the unlawful arrest of the CUPP mouthpiece. “Under a democratic government, citizens have full constitutional rights and privilege to air their views and opinions on any issue concerning the government and Barr. Ikenga has not violated any law by stating the views of his group, CUPP, concerning government policies and decisions.
“The government must remember that we are not in a military junta or regime. That Mr President was a former Military Head of State doesn’t mean he will govern as if we are in a military regime. He must respect the principles and doctrine of democracy which he swore an oath to protect.”COSEYL warned that if after this press release and Ugochinyere is not freed by the police, it will mobilize two million Nigerians in a mass protest against the government.
