A group, Concerned Igbo Youths, yesterday
blocked some major streets in Enugu,
protesting against the ongoing probe of former
First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.
.
.
Led by their coordinator, Victor Ezenagu, they
said the probe, which had led to the freezing
of her bank account, was aimed at humiliating
former President Goodluck Jonathan.
.
.
They marched to the Enugu office of the EFCC,
where they submitted a petition titled “Unjust
persecution and desperate plan to humiliate
former Pres. Goodluck Jonathan."
.
.
According to the youths: ”While we salute the
commitment of the present administration
towards fighting corruption in the country, we,
however, express our disaffection WITH the
manner the war is being prosecuted by the
commission.
.
.
“It is quite condemnable that having sacrificed
his ambition for the sake of Nigeria’s future,
Jonathan’s family is being visited with such
cruelty from the commission.”
.
.
They added that while they were not against
the anti-graft war, “it should be done within
the ambit of the law. It is not proper for the
EFCC to punish the family of the former
president and freeze their account over mere
allegations.”
