The Coalition of Youth Leaders in Akwa Ibom State has vowed to resist attempts by anyone to tarnish the reputation of former Governor Udom Emmanuel.
At a press briefing held on January 23, 2025, in Uyo, the group condemned what it described as Fejiro Oliver's vicious smear campaigns against leaders in Akwa Ibom State.
According to the International President of the Coalition, Michael Okon, Oliver has been orchestrating a coordinated onslaught of lies, blackmail, and divisive narratives against respected leaders, including Pastor Umo Eno and Mr. Udom Emmanuel.
The group described Oliver as "a self-styled cyberbully who has been wreaking havoc on the reputation of state leaders."
The coalition specifically mentioned a recent allegation by Oliver that Pastor Umo Eno mismanaged state funds by supporting a deserving Nigerian, Precious Bodunde, with N10 million, alleging that Oliver is being by some quarters.
In another twist, Oliver allegedly unleashed a barrage of unverifiable data and vile invectives against former Governor Udom Emmanuel.
The coalition viewed this as an egregious attempt to sully the reputation of a distinguished statesman and leader.
The group also expressed suspicion over a letter purportedly from the National Assembly, requesting Pastor Umo Eno to provide details of monies and projects executed by his predecessor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, saying the letter was a thinly veiled attempt to legitimize Oliver's smear campaign.
The coalition emphasized that it would not stand idly by while its leaders were subjected to vile harassment. The group acknowledged the exemplary leadership of Pastor Umo Eno and highlighted the achievements of former Governor Udom Emmanuel, including the establishment of Ibom Air, infrastructural development, and healthcare initiatives.
The coalition urged the Nigerian Police Force, the Department of State Services, the EFCC, and ICPC to investigate Fejiro Oliver's activities and ascertain his source of wealth. The group also called on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to demand security checks on individuals registering companies in Nigeria.
The coalition further warned Fejiro Oliver
that his days of deception were numbered and that the law would catch up with him.
The group urged citizens to remain vigilant and united in the face of malicious attacks.
