Southern Governors Do Not Take The Lives Of Northerners Seriously – Arewa Forum

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has blamed Southern governors for the death of Northerners in several of their states recently.

In a statement on Tuesday, which was signed signed by the National President of the group, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, he said the governors tend to treat Northern lives with levity and indifference.

It also called on the governors to do better in protecting the lives of Northerners in their state.

“The latest round of wanton attack on Northerners and destruction of their businesses, included multimillion naira worth of Trucks loaded with goods and the razing of markets where Northerners are majority, betrays either a deliberate provocation or possibly a planned ethnic cleansing agenda.

”We at the AYCF wish to reiterate that the Nigerian constitution guarantees the free movement and interactions amongst the citizenry, without let or hindrance.

“Consequently, we demand that the governors of the States where innocent Northern traders and businessmen were attacked for no reason should do the needful. Nigeria has passed that stage where organized attack on any ethnic group will definitely be resisted by men and women of conscience.”Photo Credit: Twitter
