Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement-Youth League (SPLM-YL) has distanced itself from comment made by its suspended secretary general, Simon Machuar which says Jemma Nunu was endorsed as upcoming president, citing that it\u2019s not youth league making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, Machuar alleged that referring to Nunu as a future president was not his own making but was endorsement by youth league and SPLM national Secretariat and little did he know that it was a secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspended Secretary General Mr. Machuar defended himself that he was not aware that Nunu becoming president after Salva Kiir was a clandestine until a post that led to his suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause according to the chairman [Daniel Abocha], he told me that this is what was agreed by political bureau members that after President Salva Kiir Nunu is going to be the president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In rebuttal, Daniel Abucha the chairperson of SPLM youth league told No.1 Citizen that it\u2019s not a jurisdiction of youth league to nominate flag bearer adding that it\u2019s a political bureau\u2019s task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe statement of Machuar should be taken as an isolated statement, it\u2019s not from SPLM neither from SPLM national secretariat nor from SPLM-YL,\u201d Abucha noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe political bureau is the highest organ of the party that nominate the flag bearer and PB has already done that, Cde Salva Kiir is the next flag bearer of SPLM and will always remain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abucha terms the comment as \u2018wild propaganda\u2019 and should be regarded as baseless rumor, he challenged Machuar to produce evidence where he told him that Nunu was endorsed as upcoming president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet him provide material evidence to proof his claim that I have reached him that Political Bureau has endorsed Jemma Nunu, which sitting and which political bureau? And how many people approved this allegation?\u201d he dared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is just a mere implication for public to see that \u2013 we are not working for president and so we should be removed. That is the whole idea,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that all members of youth league are united behind President Kiir, asserting that committee would investigate the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an individual statement and it will be investigated and will be taken care of, it has nothing to do with public, they should take it normal and simple,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, Machuar posted on his Facebook a statement calling for a popular reception for the Speaker Kumba who was recently elected as Chairperson of East African Speakers forum and referred her as \u2018upcoming president\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am urging all the SPLM youth to attend a popular reception of our Rt Honorable Speaker Comrade Jemma Nunu Kumba, the Elected Speaker of East Africa Speakers\u2019 Forum and the Upcoming President of Our Republic,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the comment did not go down well with the chairman of the SPLM Youth League, Daniel Abucha Ali who immediately slapped Mr. Machuar with suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBased on your post on your Facebook today November 11, 2022 as quoted \u2026. You are hereby suspended with effect from today until further notice,\u201d partly reads the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separately, Kumba\u2019s office issued a statement and condemned referring her as a potential replacement to President Salva Kiir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026such unfortunate writing does not represent Rt. Hon. Jemma Nunu Kumba in any way since it was concocted by her political opponents and hired this Machine So called Machuar to say it out,\u201d Kumba\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cSPLM leadership is the only legitimate body that has a power to nominate party\u2019s flag bearer as it has nominated H.E. Cde. Gen. Salva Kiir as the SPLM flag bearer in the upcoming elections,\u201d the statement further added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
