…Says desperation to continue blame games will plunge Nigeria into chaos
The South East Revival Group, SERG, has said it was 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, were behind the planned nationwide protests against hardship scheduled to begin on August 1, 2024.
SERG in a statement by its National Secretary, Agu Chineme, on Tuesday, 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 politicise hunger and deprivation in the land and impacts of bad governance does not spare anybody on basis of tribe, religion or political affiliation.
SERG warned that “President Bola Tinubu’s handlers could plunge the country into chaos with their reckless propaganda and desperation to continue the now nine years of blame games of the failed successive All Progressives Congress, APC, administrations.

“It is ridiculous and unbecoming of a government that has failed to deliver on its promises to resort to spreading falsehoods and lies about a citizen who has contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria.
“The SERG demands that the government should focus on addressing the pressing issues facing Nigerians rather than trying to divert attention from its failures.
“We call on all Nigerians to continue to condemn this reckless and unreasonable acts by the government appointees and demand that the government takes immediate action to address the suffering of Nigerians,” SERG added.
