Arewa Youth Group tackles APC leadership for ignoring Northwest

***Drums support for Yari

A group, Arewa Youth of Nigeria (AYON) Northwest chapter has expressed displeasure with the micro zoning of the Senate Presidency to the South-South in the place of the Northwest that gave the ruling Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) the block votes that brought the victory for the party.
They therefore asked the President Elect to consider former Governor of Zamfara State Abubakar Yari as a candidate to trust.
The zonal coordinator, Dr. Tanko Abdullahi who spoke through Useni Abubakar said it would be counter productive for the party to ignore the support of the Northwest people.
“It would amount to political suicide to support South-South that contributed a mere 799,957 votes just 9% of the total votes to a North-west that contributed 2,651,927 over 30% votes to Senator Tinubu.
He said they had assured the President-elect that the North-west support for him was as a result of their belief that he is a man who believes that Political loyalty can only be paid back with political loyalty
“Citing the above reason, we were astonished, dismayed and appalled when we read in the news that the President-Elect was supporting a South-South candidate for Senate President rather than the North-west that gave him the most votes in the General election.

“That we do not know the President-Elect as a use and dump leader hence we want to remind the Senator Tinubu should not allow Nigerians begin to see him from the angle of having used and dumped the good People of North-west Nigeria
“We have intentionally reeled out this figures so that the President-elect will know that those sycophants trying to deceive him do not wish him well.
“That we the North-west youth stand solidly with the Northern Students, Women and Leaders that are calling for the Senate President to be domiciled in the North West.
“That the North-west Youth will feel betrayed by the President-elect if he goes ahead to support Governor Akpabio as against former Gov. Yari.
He described the former Governor of AkwaIbom State Godswill Akpabio as the Political Party Jumpologist who can not be trusted as a True APC party man.
“That Having betrayed PDP he will still betray APC because of his quest for power.”
They express the apprehension that with the Presidential election result being contested at the courts peradvention the election is annulled he said they cannot trust Akpabio with such powers
“That former Governor of Zamfara State Yari is not only a trusted man but a man that President Tinubu can go to bed with his two eyes closed knowing he is not desperate for power.
“That the North-west youths beckon on President-elect Tinubu to call Akpabio and tell him to address his EFCC issues and other messy scandals surrounding him.
“The Nigerian Senate is not an image laundering office but a sacred office. Any man with baggage should go and purge himself of his baggage.”
