The Biafra Nations Youth League,
BNYL, has stated that suspension of RUGA by President Muhammadu Buhari instead
of total cancellation showed that there was no genuineness in the actions of
the Federal Government.
BNYL claimed that RUGA had been
repackaged as National Livestock Transformation by the Presidency as a new
strategy to settle Fulani herdsmen across the south, especially the Southeast
and South South.
This was contained in a statement
signed by the Chief Press Secretary of the group, Comrade Kufre Oboton.
The group said it will do
everything humanly possible to frustrate the implementation.
Recall that the group through its
Deputy Leader, Ebuta Ogar Takon had threatened to evict northerners from the
entire eastern region if the Coalition of Northern Groups goes ahead with its
threat to expel Southerners from the North on 30th July amid suspension of
RUGA.
Speaking, Kufre Obot insisted
that the BNYL would “carry out its threat in retaliation to any unfortunate
incidence against the people of the Southeast and South south.”
He lamented that similar incident
was the cause of the Biafra initial secession, adding “everyone can now see
reasons our fathers Emeka Ojukwu and Philip Effiong rebelled against Nigeria.
“We are also aware of how people
from our region especially the South south are currently being retired from the
Army and other Forces.
“Efik, Igbo and Ijaw people in
the army are the recruit, those who will be sent to Sambisa to confront Boko
Haram with toy guns,” he said.
The group said it will henceforth
begin to check herdsmen excesses in the region to avoid unexpected attack on
communities.
“We dare the so called Abdulazeez
Suleiman and his Coalition groups to execute their plans on 30th or hide their
faces in shame,” he said.
