2019: Arewa, Igbo, Ijaw, Yoruba Youths Meet, Vow To Mobilize Against Buhari by KEVIND(op): 4:41pm On Mar 27, 2018
The leadership of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, Igbo youths under the aegis of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, IYC, the Yoruba Youth Council, YYC, and 54 other groups met in Abuja on Monday.

In a communique issued at the end of the meeting, the groups said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government had failed Nigerians.

According to the youths, the current administration had failed in securing the nation from the herdsmen killing people in the North and other parts of the country.

They said, “The present government under President Muhammadu Buhari has failed in all ramifications and Nigerians, particularly the youths, must begin to examine other options and review the leadership selection process.”

The youths vowed to mobilise Nigerian youths across all ethnic divides to work for a more stable and guaranteed future for the populace.

The meeting was convened by the National President, National Ethnic Nationalities Leaders, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, who is also the leader of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum.

At the meeting, they examined the security situation in the country and the uncertainties in the political and economic environment.

Signatories to the communiqué included: Yerima, B. Oweilaemi (President, Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide and Ethnic Nationalities Forum of Niger Delta); Okechukwu Isiguzoro (Deputy Chairman, Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders ) and National President, (Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide); and Eric Oluwole(National Secretary Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders and National President, Yoruba Youth Council.

They expressed concern that in the past three years of the Buhari presidency, Nigerians, especially youths, were being killed and maimed under various guises, while the country’s elite and politicians “only quarrel and raise further tensions.”

The groups said the meeting was necessitated by “our concern over the deepening poverty and restiveness among the nation’s youths due to long neglect by the authorities.”

The communique added, “Worried by the recent uncertain twists in the country which are punctuated by crises and conflicting perceptions, the leaders of Nigeria’s ethnic nationality youth groups met in Abuja to review the state of the nation.

“It’s close to three years since the present government was sworn in with Muhammadu Buhari as president and Nigerians, especially the youths, are yet to feel any meaningful change.

“It’s been one challenge after the other, from stinging poverty, to mass joblessness, to pervading insecurity, to painful fuel scarcity, to poor power supply and to a persistent instability in the value of the naira.

“We insist that the government must take visibly serious steps towards an extensive restructuring of the country as the only remaining available solution to the current economic and political woes.

“We resolve to mobilise youths across all ethnic divides to work for a more stable and guaranteed future devoid of undue manipulation by the present crop of bankrupt elite.

“We, therefore, call on the youths everywhere to wake up and participate actively in the leadership selection processes in their local governments, states and the federation.”

Wise people don't talk much on their battle strategy if not their strategy will become a snare when it is time to execute it.

Smart people do things that even their detractors can't understand.

If only most of us in the south understand the importance and advantages of underground work we would start mobilizing and have an advantage against these people.

I will forever like Donald Trump's strategies during his campaign.

#1. He behaved as though he was an underdog till he took over the system of the GOP.

#2. He was never rated to win Hilary but he had his own plans outside the media (smart). Media does not give the mantle to anyone, they only make noise.

#3. He always shouted about rigging when he was the one using outside help just to cover his trap. (genius).

#4. He had no former president to back him but yet he had his minions on the street to do the job.

As soon as I saw afonja as part of this mobilization, I knew it will fail. A slave (afonja) will forever remain a willing tool and useful idiot to his master.
