The Coalition of Northern Youth Movement, CNYM, has warned the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, against negative comments on the country’s security situation.
Recall that the former governor of Kano State while speaking
with journalists shortly after the NNPP National Executive Committee meeting in
Abuja last week, lamented the security crisis rocking the nation.
Kwankwaso, who expressed optimism that the Nigerian Army has
the capacity to tackle the crisis, lamented that the “people can no longer go
to the farm. They are also being chased from their villages and towns.
“Our children are daily abused and taken away by criminals
and bandits in hundreds”.
Reacting, CNYM in a statement issued on Wednesday by its
President, Dr. Talba Isah, said that the NNPP national leader failed to tackle
the security issues when he served as Minister of Defence and Kano State
Governor.
Part of the statement reads, “We are also aware of the brand
of political extremism that Kwankwaso propagated in Kano state, which spread to
other parts of the northwest and mutated into banditry since the militant
supporters of the Kano politicians reverted to lives of crime in the aftermath
of election losses.
“It is certainly Kwankwaso’s desire to leverage NNPP as a
means of spreading such political extremism across the country hence the
tantrum when he found out that the current administration is taking steps that
will mitigate the spread of any form of extremism.
“We further urge the one-time Minister of Defence and
Governor of Kano State, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso to acknowledge his place as a
monumental failure who cannot lecture the Tinubu’s administration and the Armed
Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on how to fight terrorism.”
