The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has disclosed that
the North would lobby the Southeast into voting the region’s preferred
presidential candidate in 2023.
AYCF President-General, Yerima Shettima in a chat with Dailypost explained that the North will lobby the Southeast because Igbos were not
prepared to produce Nigeria’s next president.
Shettima noted that Nigerians can trust the Southeast to
become president due to the clamour for the sovereign state of Biafra.
He said: “I’m sure within them, in all honesty, they know
that they are not prepared for that if they were prepared we would have seen
the sign. The time has come when people will no longer be intimidated by one
cult group funny character who is talking on their behalf to intimidate the
country and because of that situation people will always join such clamour,
it’s not done anywhere.
“We have grown up beyond that but I’m not saying that the
son of Igbo is talking for the entire Igbo in fact he’s not speaking for
one-quarter of the Southeast.
“He speaks for some of the groups that are idle which he
thinks can be manipulated at any given time under the pretext of speaking for
them.
“Having said that I strongly believe that yes there is the
impression that they are been marginalised but certainly they also know that
they have not put their house in order to start thinking of clamouring for the
presidency.
“You can’t have a son, on the one hand, calling for the
separation of the country and on the other hand, you are asking to be trusted.
The issue of power is that of trust, once there is no trust nobody will give
you power.
“Even in your family if they can’t trust you they won’t
entrust you with their wealth because you may likely misuse it and cause more
division, so this is the situation the Southeast has found itself.
“If they want the presidency nobody will deny them their
right but it is a matter of time. Igbos should sanitize their home and time
will take care of that. “
