According to some online reports, Mohammed was said to have claimed that most of the young men and women that were at the forefront of the EndSARS Movement are those currently campaigning for the former governor of Anambra state.
In the said report, Mohammed was quoted to have said: “Recent development has now unveiled the brain behind ENDSARS Protest in Nigeria which led to the destruction of Government properties and security agencies losing their lives.
“Over the years, investigation has been going on in order to unveil those behind this wicked act just to tarnish the good image of President Muhammadu Buhari and his good works.
“Mostly all the people and the misguided youths who championed the ENDSARS Protest are all campaigning for Peter Obi for President. All of them, no exception. That will go a long way in telling you that Peter Obi knows much about the ENDSARS Protest and those behind that ugly act must be brought to book to face disciplinary actions,” the Minister claimed.
Reacting, in a statement jointly signed by Dr Ado Manir (National President), and Dr Mrs Modupe Olalekan Mohammed (National Secretary), the group insisted that the campaign supporting Obi’s presidential ambition was due to the joint frustration, disillusionment, and anger by concerned youths.
