Arewa youths want Buhari to urgently act against Nnamdi Kanu, Aso Rock cabal

Arewa Youth Forum on Sunday welcomed President Muhammadu Buhari back from his 103-day follow-up treatment trip to London and asked him to without delay re-arrest leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

The youths also advised President Buhari to immediately dismiss the so-called cabal in Aso Rock, who according to them, frustrated Vice President Yemi Osinbajo from effectively discharging his duties as acting president. They argued that the cabal has been derailing the wheel of progress of his administration.
The statement was released in Kaduna State and was signed by AYF national president, Alhaji Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu.

Part of it read, “As the umbrella organisation of all youths in the north, we are worried of the descend to regionalism by major actors in the country but the Federal Government is to be blamed.

“Nnamdi Kanu has violated all his bail conditions but the judiciary has kept mute. The Federal Government on the order hand is allowing him to carry on as if he is operating a country with the Nigerian state.

“We are happy to see that Mr. President has improved tremendously and our prayer is that Allah (SWT) will continue to strengthen him, hear our prayers so that he would now have the strength to carry on with the work that Nigerians overwhelmingly mandated him to do for them in 2015.

“As critical stakeholders that have been praying and keeping vigil for your safe return, youths from the 19 northern states implore you to as a matter of urgency immediately send out the cabals that have been impeding on the progress of your administration.

“This cabals that many referred to as the hyenas and the jackals have been hindering men of goodwill in your administration from functioning properly including the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and the earlier you send them away the better, before they derail your government.

“Also after a cursory look at the state of the nation and the increasing division caused by inflammatory statements from almost every part of the country, AYF is calling on you sir, who heads the Federal Government to start biting instead of barking. We are happy that the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has finally decided to take the situation in the country serious and deal with hate speech.

“However, the activities of characters like Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) which has given rise to Coalition of Northern Youths quit notice, the Niger Delta Agitators ultimatum and its consequent fall out in the country need to be dealt with immediately.

“We are of the believe that the Federal Government has the capacity to reign in all those threatening the cooperate existence of the country and any attempt to fail in that duty is capable of bringing about dire consequences.”
The youths said they were happy that Osinbajo has branded hate speech as an act of terrorism and demanded that the Federal Government immediately start treating perpetrators of hate speeches as terrorists.
