EndSARS: Arewa group denies spoiling for war if Buhari is removed from office


The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has denied reports that its National President, Yerima Shettima, promised war from the north if President Muhammadu Buhari is forced out of office.


A statement released very late on Saturday and signed by Barrister Abubakar Liman, the Legal Adviser to the AYCF, the group described itself as one that respects the constitution of the country and would never take part in any violence.
It further described the claims ascribed to Yerima by an online report as a figment of the writer’s imagination.

“Our National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, has never ever been associated with combative or violent protest to opposing views, for whatever reason.
“He has always been a democrat, following legitimate constitutional processes in his agitations and it is for this reason he has built a record of fearless activism but free of violence,” the AYCF said.


It added that the body is a platform of matured citizens who strongly believe in deepening Nigeria's democracy.
“The false claim of war being attributed to our National President is indeed malicious and we will not take it lying low.

“Just like our National President, we are unapologetic in the promotion of democracy through legal and legitimate means, in line with the nation's constitution, which supports presentation of grievances with respect to the rule of law,” the group said.

no constitution in Nigeria, so theres nothing like in accordance to Nigerian constitution.

Buhari can only leave that seat by death which I rebuke he will complete his tenure.

Nigerian youths should demand for something else at least that could be realistic.

What use is buhari's government to Nigerians? None

Better. This is not 1967. Do anyhow see anyhow. We are all one and i love Northerners but no one has monopoly on violence

We don't know how he managed to occupy that seat in the first place. The election was questionable.

That's by the way; even if he truly won the election, but has turned out to be so useless to the growth, unity and security of the nation, it is a honourable thing for him to resign.

We are not responsible for his ineptitude, thus can't suffer for his deficiencies.

Look at what is obtainable in progressive countries and stop reasoning based on you family's standards.

forget story, buhari has failed the north

,

Don’t mind these people. Stop believing that northerners are happy with Bubu all he is doing is putting stupid people in positions with killings and kidnappings increasing all over the north.

His wife too is trying to hijack the northern movement. DON’T fall for it. Keep religion out of it post pix of the northerners that are being killed while bubu and his cohorts refuse to do anything everyday they will be doing press release everyday insecurity. Where is all the money going? Operatives are not seeing it so who is chopping it They are busy marrying upandan on top of people’s lives

North is not happy, north is not safe. Don’t believe all this divisive talk it is not true.
