PHOTO: Plans to make Prof. Osinbajo President of Nigeria will fail!- Arewa Youth blast

The organized 'youth' group from the Northern part of Nigeria, popularly known and called by their name; 'Arewa Youth' has vowed to resist any plans by some 'Yoruba' leaders to forcefully make the Acting President of Nigeria, Professor Osinbajo as the President of Nigeria...

...labeling the Yoruba race 'ungrateful lot' whilst also insisting the North must complete their eight years of Presidency...

In an alleged statement released by spokespersons for the group, one Mr. Muhammed Shehu and Tanko Abdullahi, the group said they have unraveled the 'wicked' plans of the Yoruba leaders ahead of the 2019 Presidential elections, to make Osinbajo the candidate for the Presidential elections, since Buhari is still on medical leave...a move they said was not in the interest of the North and the country as a whole...the statement reads:

“We are very much aware that all the attacks against President Muhammadu Buhari were planted in the media by the Yoruba and spread by southerners generally just to discredit the north in order to pave way for their son, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to become president.

“But their plans will fail insha Allah.

 “We shall resist every of such plans and ensure by all means possible, that the north completes its eight-year tenure and possibly even continue after then, and that the federal structure of Nigeria as it currently is, is not tampered with by secession mongers and their collaborators.”

“Having given power to the Yoruba on a platter of gold in 1999 as a way of compensating them for the June 12 saga, it is quite worrisome and unfortunate that they have lived up to their legendary reputation of backstabbing and betrayal by supporting the divisive calls for restructuring or dismemberment of the nation against the will and desire of the north.

“We gave the late Chief MKO Abiola the mandate in 1993 but shortly after that, as it is with the Yoruba as a culture, they immediately started circling around Abiola plotting on how to emasculate the north and strip us of every access we had to the politics and economy of this nation.


“They had also raised a secret army of their elites to carry out these sinister plans against the north if Abiola eventually became president. It was this army that was unleashed on the nation in the guise of NADECO during the June 12 impasse.

“May we remind the Yoruba that without the willingness and magnanimity of the north, there was no way Abiola could have purportedly won that election, and that all the Yoruba have now as assets in the south west, especially Lagos, were given to them by our leaders out of our own usual magnanimity.

“However, time and time again, the Yoruba have always turned their back on us whenever their support is needed. They have chosen to pitch tent with the Igbo this time around just to spite us, but we shall not succumb to their antics.”


...this clearly is just politics, as the APC are yet to make any statement as regard 2019 elections...and given what has happened in the last years (Jonathan case), I doubt if any Party would want to repeat same mistake twice...and until President Buhari himself says otherwise, he is still the President...2019 will have to wait for now...
