Northern Youth Leaders Assembly threatens Buhari's critics

A group known as the Northern Youth Leaders Assembly (NYLA) have made a declaration stating that President Buhari has performed enormously in putting Nigeria on the path to progress. They also threatened that they will no more accept further attack of any kind, which may also include media the media, which helped him to propagate his propaganda in the run up to the general election on Buhari and his family members.

This threat was issued in statement signed by the group’s Chairman, Yakubu Danlami and the Secretary, Kwuanu Terrence, saying they are no more ready to accept any ‘insult’ to the family and members of the president’s cabinet, and further threatening to mobilize “resources to take on anyone who think they can use their image as a chess pawn in the game playing out in the media.”

“We warn that the north will no longer tolerate any further attack on the image, family and character of President Muhammadu Buhari in his quest to make Nigeria a better place for all. We take particular exception to our Service Chiefs, security personnel and their families being harassed needlessly and we will not hesitate to mobilize our resources to take on anyone who think they can use their image as a chess pawn in the game playing out in the media.”

The group believed that political and public office holders in this current regime are being demonised and proscribed on account of what they stand for, thus making a particular reference to the rebirth of separatist movements and militant groups in the southern part of the country to harass the Buhari Presidency.

They maintained that some of those behind these abnormalities have publicly declared that they are doing it to express their ethnic discontent, warning that this does not bode well for the country’s quest for ‘one Nigeria’.

Meanwhile, the youths have decided set up a media team responsible for countering propaganda against the north. The media team, according to them, will regularly highlight the President’s contributions to Nigeria’s democracy.
