A Northern group, known as Arewa
Northern Action Front, has called on the North to join the ‘RevolutionNow’
protest since, according to the group, President Muhammadu Buhari has continued
working with a cabal of Mamman Daura, Ismaila Funtua and Abba Kyari.
The Arewa group said that the
northern Nigeria has been pushed to the wall and is now joining other parts of
the country in a prolonged revolution protest until a result is achieved.
A statement jointly signed by Samuel D. Katung and Comrade
Tanko Mustapha, chairman and secretary respectively, said, “We therefore give
notice that northern Nigeria has been pushed to the wall and is now joining
other parts of the country in a prolonged revolution protest until result is
achieved.
“Our schedule for the takeoff is
as follows: Kaduna, Bauchi, Benue, Plateau States- (Thursday, Friday 22-23
August 2019). After this, we analyze progress made and take up the second lap.
“Members of CNG and other groups
and individuals who feel differently about it are free to either join or stay
awayi but they are warned never to attempt to stand in the way of a moving
bulldozer.”
The group noted that while it
recognizes the right of individuals or other groups like the Coalition of
Northern Groups to hold contrary opinion, it said, “We don’t see justification
in CNG influencing the entire North not to participate in the Revolutionow even
when northerners are the major casualties of the atrocities of this government.
“Unfortunately instead of the
North to cooperate with the Revolutionow movement to help force the cabal out
of action, some groups withheld northerners from participating and unknowingly,
gave more powers to Buhari and his cabal.”
It explained that insecurity
permeates a vast area of the northern region majorly caused by poverty and slow
pace of governance at all levels, and Buhari “has stubbornly refused to leave
those cabal who are pulling his government down”.
“Buhari has stubbornly refused to
replace Mr Godwin Emefiele as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria after all
the bad things he did against the North by denying our people access to federal
government empowerment initiatives.
“With all these problems going on
in the country and most of them due to the wicked cabal around the
Presidential, the time became overdue for a massive protest all over the
country as called by Mr Sowore and the #Revolutionow team,” the group observed.
It explained that they are
believers in the personal integrity and capabilities of Buhari, adding that it
is out of love and desire to see him carry this country to the Next Level that
they joined protests earlier to force him to take the wheel of the Nigerian
ship and not forsake the country in the hands of a cabal without peoples
mandate or human sympathy.
“The demand at that time was
simply that the people of this country elected Muhammadu Buhari as their
President, not Mamman Daura, not Ismaila Funtua, and definitely not Abba Kyari.
Only President Buhari has our mandate to govern over the affairs of this
nation.
“I really agreedPresident Buhari
was asked to take back control of his Government and begin to walk his talk
during the campaign by delivering on the promises made.
“These promises can only be
achieved if the President is in the drivers seat not passenger’s seat and if he
is surrounded by patriotic men and women of goodwill who assisted him during
the campaign in the eyes of the world, travel the nooks and crannies of thus
country to sell the ideology of the change mantra to the generality of
Nigerians. And nor those who hide away when the going get tough, only to
re-emerge when the tough work is done and the battle is won,” the group said.
