Arewa group rejects proposed protests, urges support for Tinubu
PeoplesDailyNGJul 21, 2024 2:48 PM

The Northern Ethnic Youth Group Assembly has withdrawn from the planned protest and instead called on Nigerian youths and student bodies to give President Tinubu more time to implement his economic reforms.

The group, comprising minority tribes in Northern Nigeria, acknowledged that the current challenges are a legacy of former President Buhari’s administration, which they didn’t protest against at the time. They now recognize that protesting may jeopardize national unity.

The group also commended Minister of Steel Development Prince Shuaibu Audu for his plans to restart the Ajaokuta Steel complex’s light section mill. This is expected to produce 400,000 metric tons of iron rods annually, addressing road construction and building collapse issues.


It stated that Nigeria has faced difficult times, periods of unrest, and moments that tested its resilience. They believe the nation has endured and survived, and it’s time to look toward a promising future.

In a statement signed by spokesperson Ibrahim Dan-Musa on Sunday, the group urged Nigerians to give President Tinubu a chance. They see hope and a sense of possibility that shouldn’t be ignored.

“We appeal to other Arewa groups to acknowledge that Nigeria’s challenges are a shared responsibility,” Dan-Musa said.

“President Tinubu needs more time to implement his plans for the country. The ongoing reforms offer hope for a better future.”

He added that President Tinubu’s presidency presents a fresh opportunity for transformation. While skepticism is understandable, the group believes reforms under Tinubu are taking shape, paving the way for a better future.



These changes are seen as substantial, forming the foundation for a more secure, prosperous, and just nation.
The statement concludes with a call to action.

“We are witnessing the dawn of a new era, where mistakes are acknowledged and rectified, and the people’s voices are heard. Now is the time to unite, support the reforms, and hold our leaders accountable.


“Let’s engage in constructive dialogue, participate actively, and ensure our leaders know we are vigilant and invested in our collective future. We must become active participants in shaping our destiny.

“Hope is a powerful force. Let’s embrace it with a commitment to making our nation better for all.

“We owe it to ourselves, our children, and the memory of those we lost. Let’s give President Tinubu the time and support needed to implement these vital reforms.

” Let’s watch with open minds and hearts, ready to contribute and collaborate. Together, we can forge a new path for our nation to rise and soar.”

The easy way out is through food importation which the Tinubu’s administration has finally doing with its new zero tariffs policy on food imports.

Go and plant something that's the b3st way out of food shortage. The first lady has demonstrated this already by planting crops in her backyard.
You can also grow something.
Even though the Tinubu government have halted all tax and duties on imported foods. We still need to grow more in order to have surplus. Protest don't add to any nations food reserves.

BREAKING: Presidency Exposes Peter Obi’s Supporters as Masterminds of Planned Protests

The Nigerian Presidency has revealed that supporters of Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, are behind the planned protests across the country.

Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made the claim in a statement on social media.

Onanuga alleged that the same group of individuals, who were instigated by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive ENDSARS protest in 2020, are now planning to stage nationwide protests under the guise of “EndBadGovernance” and “Tinubu Must Go.”


The Presidency described the protesters as “anarchists” and “bad losers” who are unable to wait for the next election in 2027.

Onanuga warned that their actions amount to high treason and called on security agents to interrogate the individuals involved.

The statement reads:

“REVEALED: Peter Obi’s supporters are the people planning mayhem in Nigeria: Obi should be held responsible for anarchy



“Don’t be fooled: the malcontents planning to stage nationwide protests are supporters of Peter Obi, the failed presidential candidate of the Labour Party. And he should be held responsible for whatever crisis emanates from the action.

“The protest planners are also the same people who were instigated by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive ENDSARS protest in Nigeria in October 2020. ENDSARS began as a genuine protest by youths against the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad, notorious for its high-handedness. IPOB members planning to extricate the South East region from Nigeria infiltrated the protest and hijacked it for their own agenda. Lagos still bears the scar of the malicious destruction by IPOB elements until today.


“Two years after ENDSARS, the IPOB and the gullible innocents joined the Labour Party in 2022 to support Peter Obi, a sympathiser of their cause.

“They are the people spreading the hashtags ‘EndBadGovernance’, ‘Tinubu Must Go,’ and ‘Revolution2024’. They are not democrats but anarchists. They are attempting to call out our people via propaganda because their Messiah, Peter Obi, failed to win the Presidency in the 2023 election. As bad losers, they don’t have the patience to wait for another election in 2027; they would rather destabilise Nigeria by staging a civilian coup against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“If they understand the meaning of their hashtags, they will realise they are clarion calls for treason. Wanting to end an elected government is high treason. Wanting revolution is a call for a coup d’etat, which is also high treason.

“I have been on the trail of one of the protest planners, who is nameless but claims to have an internet radio station, PTM100.88 Abuja. The anonymous person joined X in August 2022 and has 520 followers today, among whom are FS Yusuf, another rabid Obi supporter, and Professor Pat Utomi, a Labour Party chief and a guy on X who goes by the pseudonym Peter Obi’s First Son. PTM’s profile image has someone holding the inscription` Certificate Forger Not My President, ‘ with a photo of Peter Obi as an inset. Only Obi’s supporters will be talking about certificate forgery long after the Supreme Court dismissed the allegation.

“In the past 24 hours, this faceless X user has been whipping up the gullible to join the protest being planned and also posting the activities of his Messiah, Peter Obi. He retweets Peter Obi often.


“In one of the posts, a video shows a teenager, who is said to be in the North, printing T-shirts emblazoned with “EndBadGovernance in Nigeria 2024′.

“There is also a retweeted post by Babatunde Gbadamosi, a failed and frustrated politician in Lagos. In it, he refers to his earlier post urging people “ to identify APC members, sponsors, supporters, enablers, thugs, promoters, and appointees.” The police and DSS ought to have arrested the man for making a brazen threat to political opponents.


“There is “General Oluchi,” a woman who goes by the screen name “A Field Marshall of the Han Dynasty.”


“She has been sending out letters of mobilisation. She even pinned a “Week 6 “ letter urging Nigerians to wake up and take control of their country, using the language of IPOB, Peter Obi, and his supporters.


“Another member of the malcontents is Brother Bernard, also known as Mikael C. Bernard. He is not based in Nigeria because he was once busted over Binance and fraudulent crypto businesses in Nigeria. Bernard was the man who once wrote that the naira should go down to zero.


“In a reaction to Oluchi, he said the protesters should remove the increase in salaries for the armed forces as part of their demands.


“ “If they want an increment in salary, let them launch their own protest. It is not our job to fight for enablers of evil”, he wrote on X.

“According to our law, men of the armed forces don’t protest, an X user reminded him. He posted a sarcastic response: ‘By law, they can slap people wearing cams ( camouflage) and shoot at protesters ba?”

“Security agents should, by now, begin to interrogate these agents of destabilisation. There is no country in the world where people are not going through some economic challenges and where the cost of living is not a major issue. No country is immune from economic turbulence at the moment. Civilised and democratic people wait for another election to make leadership changes. They don’t trigger mayhem in their countries by staging protests, the end of which nobody can predict.

“Nigerian citizens must consider the government’s attitude and concern about the cost of living crisis when deciding whether to join the protests by the Labour Party and IPOB supporters.

“The Tinubu government has not been found wanting in this regard. The minimum wage has been increased by more than 100 percent. Loans are being disbursed to students in tertiary schools. A credit corporation has been launched to promote consumption credit. Palliatives, including the latest distribution of 740 trucks of rice to the 36 states and Abuja, are being rolled out. Businesses, such as pharmaceuticals, are being assisted. The Federal and state governments are investing heavily in agriculture to produce more food.

“The economy is improving, inflation is slowing, the national debt has been reduced in dollar terms, and the FIRS has increased revenue generation to record levels. Investors are coming back to our country. Our stock market is the best in the world, with a 33 percent return on investment.

“President Tinubu has a four-year mandate to run his agenda. Those calling for protest should wait till 2027 to either re-elect him or elect their Messiah, Mr Peter Obi.”
