A prominent group, the Yoruba Global Alliance (YGA), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to act now and save the country and the people from the increasing menace of terrorism and banditry.
The group made the call in a press statement signed by its Chairman of Council, High Chief Tola Adeniyi and its National President, Dr Amos Arogundade Akingba.
It noted that Nigerians are saddened and depressed that their president, in whom they entrusted their safety, security and general wellbeing could display an unprecedented indifference to their suffering and haplessness.
The alleged indifferent attitude of the president, the group said, has become more glaring in the face of ceaseless attacks by bandits and terrorists across the country.
YGA, along with its allies, including the Yoruba Global Congress, the Yoruba Unseen and millions of Yoruba people at home and abroad called on “Major General Muhammadu Buhari to live up to his reputation as a 2-star General to take immediate action to redeem his image.
“The video, which has gone viral showing the dastardly treatment being meted out to the remaining abductees of the 28 March, 2022 train bombardment along Abuja-Kaduna Highway, calls for immediate action by any responsible government.
“That some rag-tag jackals in human form could descend to this abysmal fiendish bestiality and inflict punishment by flogging their victims shows to what extent terrorists in Nigeria disregard the government and security agencies in the land.
“What is it that has tied the hands of the security agencies? The entire areas where terrorists are holding sway are located in plains or Savanah grassland where there are no thick bushes or forests.
“Government has on many occasions admitted they know the locations of these bandits. They know their phone numbers. They know their leaders. Dr Gumi and ‘Jihadist’ [Governor Nasir] el-Rufai are their liaisons,” the group stated.
YGA further stated that it is unfortunate that Nigeria would allow its citizens to wallow in captivity right on Nigerian soil and governments, state and federal, would be unconcerned and unsympathetic towards their plight.
“We call on Buhari to imagine for a moment if his only son was among those being gleefully flogged or if his beautiful daughters, including stooge Malami’s third wife were among those being bedraggled and humiliated in full glare of the camera,” it added.
The group group also challenged leading presidential candidates, including Abubakar Atiku, Bola Tinubu, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to demand for an immediate intervention of the president in saving the country from terrorism and terrorists.
The leading self-determination group described the presidential candidates and others as “political shadow-chasers who are begging for people’s votes while the same citizenry is going through hell.”
It said President Buhari can use his executive powers to immediately flush out all the imported terrorists stationed in targets across the country, allow for immediate establishment of state police.
The group also said the president can stop the ideas of RUGA and Water Bill; ban Okada operations throughout the country; and perish the ruinous scheme of ethnic cleansing, which it alleged was with a view to handing over indigenous nationalities’ ancestral lands to some foreigners.
“If he can do these few things, his seven-year-old sins will be written off. The horrendous humiliation, degradation and tortuous inhumanity which has pervaded the country’s entire landscape should stop.
“We wish to remind General Buhari that all those flatterers, court jesters, sycophants and political jobbers milling round him and deceiving him will not be there with him on the Day of Judgment.
“The Holy Qur’an and the Holy Bible say so. In fact, come May 30 2023, they will all disappear into thin air! Our president’s name is Buhari; nobody should rename him Nero at age 80,” YGA added.
