Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) has accused the Ministry Of Finance and National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO) of victimizing South East over Biafra following the disbursement of the Covid-19 palliative funds to Nigerians to cushion the effect of the lockdown.
OYC, in a statement signed by its President general, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said it has studied diligently the Lists of Acclaimed Beneficiaries Of Covid19 Palliative Care and Stimulus packages of Federal Government in various states as released by National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO), described the report published by NCTO as a Rogue assignment with Malicious strategic plan designed by Northern Political Musketeers to Punish South East Unjustly over Biafra agitation.
“The list is nothing but a huge Joke and fruitless efforts to retire Funds of Covid19 Palliative Money looted with fictitious but non existent figures of Beneficiaries cooked up from North to deceive Nigerians”.
“NCTO claimed that there are 245,157 beneficiaries in the North against 52,816 beneficiaries in the South, With South East getting less than 1% of the Palliative Money, is a clear evidence of violation of Principles of Federal Character and annexing South East out of Nigeria, Using Hunger as instruments of War to unleash hardship on Igbos in the face of coronavirus Pandemic is inhumane”, the statement noted.
