BUHARI IN TROUBLE As Over 400 Ethnic Groups Break Silence On Continuous Killings In Nigeria; See What They Said

About 400 tribes in Nigeria have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to be more Proactive in tackling the rising security problem confronting Nigeria.

The ethnic nationalities warned that Nigerian youths would not keep their arms folded watching the mass murder of the people of the country every day.

Under the auspices of the Nigerian Ethnic Nationalities Youths Leader Council, NENYLC, the ethnic nationalities stated that they had taken record of the spate of insecurity in Nigeria, which, according to them, was at an alarming level.

Terry Obirh, the President- General of the group, disclosed this at a press briefing in the FCT which had in attendance Emmanuel Zopmal, the group’ s Publicity Secretary, and Oladotun Hassan, NENYLC’ s Secretary- General.

According to the Group: ” Our stand is that the Federal Government needs to be more proactive in dealing with the growing spate of insecurity in the country as we cannot continue to witness such mindless killing of Nigerians in their numbers on a daily basis.

” The main essence and purpose of government is the protection of lives and properties but this appears to have been defeated in Nigeria. On a daily basis, Nigerians are being mowed down and roasted like chickens for no fault of theirs, except the fact that they are Nigerians.

” We say today that enough is enough and urge the security agencies to sit up. We have heard so many words without action from the government, we have had enough rehearsed condolence messages from the government, what we demand now is an end to the massacre of Nigerians under whatever guise.

” The council equally took notice of the pervasive corruption in Nigeria. We are concerned about the level of corruption in governance in Nigeria. This has to a large extent impeded development in the country, with resulting infrastructural decay across the country. The humongous annual budget of the country has not in any way translated to development.

” There are no commensurate development indices vis- a- vis the trillions of naira released every year as capital expenditure. The reason for this gap is not farfetched- it is buried in the graveyard of corruption.

” Worthy of mention is also our uncompromising position on the need for a united Nigeria, cautioned against inflammatory statements ahead of the 2023 general election.

” To this end, we urge politicians to put the interest of the country above self; they should see themselves as vehicles for national cohesion and not as agents of disunity. This is why we note with serious concern some unguarded utterances by political actors across the country,

especially with regards to the 2023 general elections.

” The Independent National Electoral Commission has a big role to play. It must give all interested parties equal opportunities in the 2023 general elections to ensure the emergence of credible leaders. ” ax
