Youths from the 19 Northern
states and Abuja under the aegis of Arewa Youth Forum, AYF, have alleged that
some officials of the presidency, Northern governors and South West politicians
were behind the protest against President Muhammadu Buhari.
They called on the politicians to
immediately call those they described as their ‘attack dogs’ to order or face
being exposed.
A statement issued by AYF
National president, Alhaji Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu and made available to newsmen
in Kaduna, Wednesday said they were pained that the same situation that
happened
during the Late president Umar Musa Yar’adua is trying to repeat
itself.
The statement noted that instead
of the Northern politicians to come together and fight for the interest of the
region, they are busy positioning themselves for the post of Vice president.
It accused the northern governors
who they said won election on the back of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
popularity as not doing enough, saying they are either been cowed into silence
by people like Ekiti state Governor Ayodele Fayose or are busy holding meetings
negotiating for the Vice President’s slot.
The statement reads, “Let it be
known that we are not unmindful of what is happening in Nigeria. We know those
that are behind the protest against the President, as a group we are giving
them 7 days to call their attack dogs to order or we will have no option than
to expose them.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we are aware that
Southwest politicians are behind the plot, they are colluding with some
Northern governors and some elements of the presidency who do not wish the
country and President Muhammadu Buhari well. But their time is ticking.
“The funny thing about these
northern governors is that many of them won their elections on the back of
President Buhari, we wonder why they are now interested in themselves and very
ready to sell the man who is their benefactor for a plate of porridge.
“It is the same situation that
happens during the late Umaru Musa Yar’adua that wants to repeat itself. But
instead of fighting for the region, these governors are busy holding nocturnal
meetings and negotiating for the position of Vice president, but we will soon
expose them.
“A Governor from the South West,
Ayodele Fayose is been used for their crusade against the President, but our
northern governors are only murmuring in their chambers afraid to confront him.
But let it be known that as people committed to the emancipation of the north
and the unity and development of the country as a whole, we cannot be cowed
into silence by anybody.
“We know that it is the
fundamental rights of every Nigerian to protest, but protest must have a human
face. We believe that President Buhari has done the right thing by handing over
power to the acting President Professor Yemi Osinbajo who has been discharging
his duties without hindrance.
“Those behind the scenes beating
the drums of political discord should watch their steps. We are unto them.”
This Arewa youths are just ANIMALS, so protesting to know the health status of their president and his where about for over 3months is now a crime
