. Says transparency is the foundation for public trust
As controversy continues to swirl on the proper way to unravel the circumstances surrounding the abduction of pupils and their teachers in Oyo State, the call by Governor Seyi Makinde for international probe has gained the support of youth group.
The group under the aegis of the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL), said that it “unequivocally supports the courageous and patriotic call” by the Oyo State Governor for a flawless investigation to be carried out.
COSEYL, which prides itself as the apex sociopolitical youth organisation in the South-east geopolitical zone, expressed its support for Makinde in a statement signed by the President General, Goodluck Ibem, made available to the media yesterday.
It said that the Oyo governor was right in saying that “appropriate international human rights and accountability mechanisms, including those within the United Nations system, should undertake an independent probe of the abduction of the pupils and their teachers in Oriire Local Government of Oyo State.”
