The YOUTH SAY YES INITIATIVE FOR CHANGE has admonished individuals and groups calling for the probe of the last administration not to abuse the calls for the probes. The group in a press statement signed by its Director of Publicity Amakiri Christiana and the Director of Mobilisation Etuk Benjamin said some of the calls for probe by individuals and groups clearly shows how myopic such individuals and groups can be while urging them not to impose their ignorance on the majority of the Nigerian people.
The YOUTH SAY YES INITIATIVE FOR CHANGE wondered why people in positions of authourity like the Edo state governor Adams Oshiomhole will blatantly attempt to deceive Nigerians by publicly stating that he was told that a minister in Jonathan’s administration stole 6 billion dollars. The group said if at all there was such kind of stealing the US government would have been bold enough to tell the world or at least tell them the name of such minister and the way and manner he or she stole the same sum.
The group advised Nigerians not to allow themselves to be hoodwinked by beer parlour talks which will not do the country any good.
The youth group also picked holes in the recent call by an unknown group the Coalition of Civil Society Groups Against Corrupt Practices urging the federal government to probe the National Oil Spill Detection and Regulatory Agency NOSDRA describing the call by the so called organization as the height of mischief. “We have heard of the call for the probe of various parastatals, departments and agencies under the Jonathan administration but the recent call by a faceless Coalition for the probe of NOSDRA which under the present management has performed justifiably well based on the paucity of funds available at their disposal is the height of mischief by these elements who are desperate to chase out Jonathan’s appointees” the group said.

It wondered why the group will be calling for the probe of the oil spill detection  vessel whose purchase was approved in May 2009 by the administration of late President Umar Yaradua as if it was done under the present management of the agency under Peter Idabor. “We have complained about the lack of coherency by those instigating the probe of the former administration. It is important for them to do their homework well before coming public. How can somebody in his right sense make such calls for probe without verifying? If they had done their research they would have known that the approval for the purchase was done when Jonathan was neither the president nor Idabor the Director General of NOSDRA. They should also realize that NOSDRA is a regulatory body and not a contract awarding agency with so much money to play around with as their polluted mind has made them believe”  The YOUTH SAY YES INITIATIVE FOR CHANGE emphasized.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
