2023: Arewa youths speak on youth succeeding Buhari, godfatherism, Igbos push for presidency
The President General of Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF, Yerima Shettima, has advocated for a youth president in 2023.
The AYCF President-General also stated his position on godfatherism, ahead of 2023, claim for Southeast presidency, how best to tackle Boko Haram menace and the Southern Kaduna crisis.I agree with Daura on this not because I believe in the things he say, but because we need competency so that opportunities will be there. Leadership can emerge from any part of the country.
I do not think that these so-called elites are speaking for the generality of the Southeast, but a few individuals who have lost relevance within the political scene are making it look like it’s their right and a must. They forget that people have come of age and they can’t intimidate anybody, especially those of us from the North.
If the chips are down and they keep balkanizing Nigeria, then the government should conduct a referendum and let’s see their number and do away with these few voices threatening the unity of this country. Their number is not up to one percent of Igbo sons who believe in the unity of Nigeria. Now it has shown that it’s not about political parties anymore. The evil we accused PDP of doing the APC has done more harm. What we should be looking at now is not political parties but competency. I remember recently saying any political party that wants to take Nigerians for a ride by zoning its Presidency to a particular zone will have themselves to blame because Nigerians won’t take that. The issue of zoning was what brought us to the suffering we are today, and we won’t take it anymore.
