2023: Deal with secessionists before asking for presidency – Arewa youths tell Ohanaeze
The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has said that the leaders of the Southeast must first dialogue with secessionists before asking for Presidency come 2023.
The AYCF National President, Yerima Shettima made the remark in response to comments by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, apex Igbo socio-political Organisation that they would reach out to other regions to allow the Southeast produce Nigeria’s President in 2023.
Shettima noted that it would be difficult to trust the Southeast with power amid the call for Nigeria’s breakup by groups and individuals within the region.
He said: “If Ohanaeze says they will negotiate, then that is a bit of politics but unfortunately for them, they need to ensure sanity in their region first.
“Nobody will deprive them the opportunity to produce the president being a Nigerian but not when they have one of their own threatening the corporate existence of our nation, Nigeria.
“They have not taken any decisive step to condemn the action and inactions of those criminally minded people, but expect Nigerians to entrust them with power.
“It will be difficult to entrust them with power, it’s better for them to ensure sanity in their home before coming to the table to discuss with those on top so people can say they have shown commitment and not by threats and intimidations, those days are over.”
Though, it maybe difficult to entrusted with power because of what they are agitating for.
We need to work together in this country in order to unite ourselves together
Nobody wants to break up but the way you people is handling the country is bad
You need to the needful if not people will continue request for secession in the country.
that is true…..
