President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Alhaji Shettima Yerima has reacted to arrest warrant obtained against his members by Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai.

He said the governor was playing with fire by planning to arrest members of his group, who had issued quit notice to Igbos living in the north to leave the region on or before October 1.
Governor El-Rufai had on Thursday obtained court warrant to arrest the Northern youth leaders.

Reacting to this development, Yerima told Saturday Sun, that the governor’s action showed that he was an enemy of the Muhammadu Buhari government.

“Honestly, we really do not want to join issues with him, what is before us is how to rebuild the country, and so far, we have been doing that.

“Probably the governor is working to distract the government and we cannot be an agent to distracting the government.

“We will ensure we do everything within our limits to ensure that there is peace in the country, and we have been demonstrating this. We will not allow him to distract us”, he said.

He noted that Nigerians would be in a better position to judge the Kaduna State governor, and to see if he was a true Nigerian, who actually wanted peace in the country.

“We are wondering because El-Rufai never thought of this until few days before October 1, when the issue has been put behind us, and we have done wonderfully to nip in the bud any crisis that would arise in the north because of killings in the Southeast.

“We took it upon ourselves to go to Kano, a volatile area to address the northern youths, and warned that nobody should attack any Igbo in the region; more so, there shouldn’t be any reprisal attack.
No one from Southeast was harassed in the north. For him to come now is a clear indication for Nigerians to know the true enemy of the government, as well as, true enemy of the country.”

emeijeh:
1 Nigeria!

Happy Independence guys!!

Anyone who takes both the horrible tor.toise named El-Rufai And these bloodsuckas in the persons of the Arewa youths serious is either acting out of incurable foolishness or gross ignorance.

It's all about politics. It is well planned. This is to distract the attention of the unintelligent and entertain the gullible Nigerians.

October 1st is here and they are stagging the well scripted drama. An unimaginable insult on our collective sensibility it is. This will lead to nowhere. In fact. It is to gradually guide the passing of the most awaited date, October 1st.

They know everyone's attention is on them. They know we are waiting to see what becomes of their fate after the Quit Notice declaration; a genocidal attempt against a collection of the citizenry, the Igbo race and by extension, Southern Christians.

Smart as usual, they have crafted this to placate the agitated minds of Nigerians. Nothing will happen to them. After all, it's the same Arewa Youths that President Buhari hosted in a hotel in Abuja for about two days after he returned from London from his medical frenzy.

The North West insults Nigeria and Nigerians and get so-damning away with it. That's why they ran mad when the "little" Nnamdi Kanu challenged their hegemony, their dictatorial quest and status quo that have stampeded Nigeria's growth and development. Fellow Nigerians, aside the elites, the North West are the biggest problem of Nigeria.
