Former Aviation minister, Femi
Fani-Kayode has reacted to the purported threat by Coalition of Northern Youths
to evict all southerners in the North, if the federal government doesn’t
rescind its decision to suspend the Ruga settlements for Fulani herders within
30 days.
The Federal Government suspended the Ruga initiative earlier planned to curb
incessant clashes between Fulani herders and host communities.
But the government was forced to
suspend the decision after the idea was greeted by widespread criticism.
Angered by the news of its
suspension, the northern youths purportedly issued a 30-day ultimatum to every
southerner residing in the north to vacate unless Ruga is implemented.
Reacting to purported threat by
the youths, Fani-Kayode warned the group that the south was ready for them and
even charged them to save the 30 days grace it had given and carry out their
threat immediately.
In a post on his Twitter handle
on Friday, the former minister said a 30-day period was too long, adding that
“the sooner the dance begins the better, while warning the group they will
‘reap the whirlwind that you have sown.’
“To the arewa youths who dared to
say that every southerner must leave the north within 30 days unless RUGA is
implemented.
“I say, stop the threats and just
do it! the sooner this dance begins the better! 30 days is too long! you will
reap the whirlwind that you have sown!
“We are waiting for you!this time
around we are ready.there will be no settlement and there will be no turning
back!
“Macbeth said ‘I shall fight till
the flesh be hacked from my bones and damned be he who first cries hold!
“Between us, I say damned be he
who first cries hold!”
Recall that in 2017, a similar
group had issued the Igbos a quit notice, in response to IPOB’s stay at home
order – a notice they later withdrew.
