THE Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has labelled the
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan a failure.
The pan-Northern organisation, in an open letter to the
president, issued to journalists in Kaduna, on Sunday, said the
state of insecurity in the region had deteriorated under the
watch of the Presidency.
ACF said it reached that conclusion at an emergency meeting
with non-governmental organisations from the region, insisting
that Jonathan had failed to protect the northerners.
While speaking at the opening ceremony of the meeting, held at
its headquarters, the National Executive Council (NEC)
chairman, Alhaji Ibrahim Coomassie, alleged that there was a
deliberate plan or attempt to emasculate the North
economically, reduce it numerically, disunite its people
religiously and divide them politically.
“As we gather here today to discuss, let us not lose sight of the
fact that there is a Federal Government whose responsibility it
is to protect the lives and safeguard the property of every
citizen of this country.
“What we are witnessing today is a complete reversal of that
role. The government of the day, under the leadership of
President Goodluck Jonathan, has woefully failed to protect us.
“While the North is being battered, the people in government
have not made serious effort to end it. For the first time in the
history of this great nation, our president is being openly
condemned for his ineptitude, immaturity and ineffectiveness.
“Since the advent of the Boko Haram uprising in 2009, the
region has witnessed a speedy descent into anarchy. The
insurgency and insecurity situation we are faced with in the
North is such that we have never imagined would happen to
Arewa that we all grew up to know, love and cherish.
“The Arewa that was bequeathed to us by our forefathers is no
longer the same. Today, the entire northern region is under
siege. The North is being attacked from all angles and from all
fields.
“Now the general belief is that this government and its
leadership do not like us. The current policies and the
government attitude towards the insurgency leave us with no
better conclusion than to assume that there is a deliberate plan
or attempt to emasculate the North economically, reduce us
numerically, disunite us religiously and to divide us politically.
“This is the grim situation we are faced with. As leaders of
Arewa, it is incumbent upon us to rise up to the occasion. The
entire citizenry of the North looks up to us with so much.
“We must, at this point, bury our individual differences, come
together and critically examine the situation before us. We
must come out and speak with one united voice. We cannot
afford to be seen to be divided,” he said.
