Youths under the aegis of Southern and Middle Belt Allied Youths (SAMBAY) have replied their northern counterparts over the alleged threat the Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) issued against a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, warning that nothing must happen to the Ex-Minister.
A statement jointly signed by Fidelis Ujah (Middle Belt), Onyema Ukachukwu (South East) and Mustapha Olasubomi (South West) after an emergency meeting on Sunday warned that the Ex-Minister must not be intimidated for making a critique of the current All Progressives Congress, APC-led government.
The group said it knows that it is the AYF that is pursuing purely selfish interests by insisting that power must remain in the north when their definition of “north” has clearly over the years excluded the middle belt region. The meeting was called by the group to discuss the alleged threats that, according to it, have not only been issued by what it termed northern elements against Femi Fani-Kayode but also against the other parts of the country in recent times as regards permutations for 2019.
It also wondered why Arewa would think it can continue to deceive the Middle Belt to curry their support when it needs political power but would immediately abandon them afterwards. “We wonder where these Arewa Youths have been all this while that their cousins, the Fulani herdsmen terrorists, have been killing citizens with impunity in Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau and such other states.
They never condemned them because they do not see people from these parts as one of them except for election purposes. Even in Southern Kaduna that is further up north, indigenes were killed without these Arewa saying anything. “We find their silence on these issues most reprehensible and signs of deep-seated hatred for other parts of the country. “It is based on this that we have come together to say NEVER will we allow anything untoward to happen to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode who has been speaking up for us and our people against the tyranny and despotism of the Buhari administration and his Hausa/Fulani disciples.
“We have lost more people in the South and the Middle Belt in the two years under Buhari than we have done since 1999 to May 2015. Do we allow Arewa and their threats to those who defend and speak up for us pass unchallenged or do we stand up to them and say enough is enough? Our people have chosen the latter. “For the avoidance of doubt, we want to make it categorically clear that under no circumstances shall we allow anyone no matter who they think they are to threaten Fani-Kayode. Nothing must happen to him or any member of his family. “We call on the law enforcement agencies to take notice of such needless threats from AYF as we are more than ready to respond adequately and commensurately to any action the Arewa Youths might be planning to take.
“Enough is enough!” The statement concluded.
Enough is enough of this government of the north by the north and for the north.
ReplyDeleteIf you think that PMB's administration that makes Fulani's to fight with farmers, you are wrong and you don't know history of middle belt. Fulani's and farmers have been in fighting in middle belt as far back as early 80's . Killings in southern kaduna started since 90's, and go and ask who and who planned and coordinated crisis, latter on IBB forgive them and gave them chieftaincy title. And tell me all what have you been happening in plateau state who was arrested and prosecuted during Obasanjo and during Jonathan? ???.you people are bias and sentimental
ReplyDeleteOK. Let's assume you are right.
DeleteBut what effort is buhari putting in place to end the insurgency? It's because of this they voted him. And used the opportunity of all this to campaign and defeat Jonathan. Let Buhari resign if all insurgency problem remain the same
Where have you been all this while.? From your words you will deny your parents for your selfish greed
DeleteZali maybe the killer herdsmen should be in your village next. What a pathetic response. The north are a blood hungry enemy of progress and parasitic
ReplyDeleteYes and they should visit your parent too
DeleteJust as you are hungry fool. Tell me one out of what I said which is not true. For insurgency he has tried, the past administration has spent good six (6) years without doing anything than to increase the taking over of nigerian territory by a group terrorists. But PMB in only two (2) years you can confirm by yourself how BH was crouched. No sharing of ARM money again looters have been disgraced loop holes was blocked. Open your eyes and Open your eyes.

ReplyDeleteAny wise man will know that the chibok girls were kept in custody till Jonathan is defeated. During Jonathan era we were told the chibok girls were raped 16 times daily. Now they were never raped or harmed. That's why some of them prefer to remain in custo
ReplyDeleteYou have answered yourself. "They told you" who told you? The same Jonathan and his allies
DeleteAsk him to come to the north and speak the way his stupid mouth and see, if the people that call them selves human being can protect him i means biafrababoons all over the world know you are nothing but stupid, that is how we northerners take them, that is how everyone knows you igbo, you know nothing but to steal and to protect
