10th NASS: Beware Of Divisive Elements, S’West Group Advises Tinubu Says No Rift Between South, North

The South-West Frontiers has expressed worry over some overhyped conspiracies by some disgruntled elements tending to sponsor rifts between the North and South over the leadership of the 10th National Assembly.
This was as they advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be wary of early confrontation with the North, emphasizing that there is no existing rift between the Northern and Southern parts of Nigeria.
A statement by the Frontier’s Chairman, Kolawale Kazeem, read: “We observe the deliberate attempt by some desperate politicians to drag the President into their self-serving battle by making it appear like his own war, which in reality, is not.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the South-West would not tolerate any move for the sake of some few people’s ego, that would drag the South-West presidency into collision with any of its friends, especially the North.
“We therefore warn all those who see it as their duty to cause rifts between our president, a universally renown cosmopolitan democrat into the dirty mud of their dubious agenda to desist as we are ample ready to protect our president at any cost.
“To our dear president, we restate confidence in his ability and capacity to cope with whichever leadership the legislature presents for the good of the country.
“We therefore call on him to beware of bad company around him and to resist any temptation to get him to act outside the constitution.
“While calling on the President to allow due process of democracy to take its course in the emergence of the leadership of the National Assembly, we urge all aspirants not to give in to intimidation or blackmail.”
