Man Treks From Lagos To Abuja Against Buhari …As Arewa Youth Warn Against Killings
A man, Isa Mohammed Munlaila, who is not satisfied with President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 presidential ambition has started a trek from Lagos to Abuja.
The man carried a small box on his head, with the inscription: “R.I.P APC.”
The man speaking with newsmen in Lagos yesterday, said the youths are angry with Buhari.
He also said Nigerians are suffering and the standard of living had gone up, adding that the president had failed to fulfill his promises to the people.
Meanwhile, the Arewa Youth for Peace and Security has advised the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association to focus on helping to stop the killings, rather than getting involved in partisan politics.
The National President of the group, Salisu Magaji, gave the advice in a statement issued, yesterday in Abuja.
Magaji expressed concern over a statement credited to Garus Galolo, the Benue State Chairman of the association, asking Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki to resign from office or he would be forced to do so.
He noted that Saraki was elected by senators and only two-thirds of the entire lawmakers could remove him from office as stipulated by law.
“They should restrict themselves to the constitution of Miyetti Allah. Saraki is a Nigerian and he remains the President of the Nigerian Senate as elected by the senators.”
Magaji wondered if the association was now a political group to be talking about forcing Saraki out of office.
“Do they not know he was elected as the Senate President by senators and that only two thirds of the entire senators can remove him from office as stipulated by the constitution of Nigeria?
“We would like to think that this chairman of Miyetti Allah in Benue State does not understand the rudiments and essence of politics.
“So, let him concentrate on how to stop the killings in Benue State and desist henceforth, from talking about politics because Miyetti Allah is not a political group.
“He should desist from heating up an already fragile polity. Our laws are clear on how to remove a sitting Senate President.
