Alhaji Yerima Shettima, the National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), has accused some APC governors of working with the opposition against their own party ahead of the general elections.

While speaking on the perspective of some people that the North has had their time with the eight years of Buhari, and it is the turn of the South, he said "apart from Atiku which I don’t want to go into, for us to have a country that we will all be proud of we must exercise equity, fairness and justice to all Nigerians. The country is made up of the North and South, we also have six geopolitical zones.

" It is not constitutional, but on moral grounds to give all Nigerians sense of belonging it would not be a bad idea to allow power to go back to the South. Don’t forget that we are in a critical situation where, if we don’t take measures as bad as it is, this country is becoming so fragile.

"If we don’t take measures we may wake up and there is no longer Nigeria. Tension is high on both sides. So on moral ground, some of us have decided that we want Nigeria to remain together so we will take decision when the time comes," he added.

Speaking on Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s attack on Aso Rock elements, he stated that. "it is sad if it is true, because I have even raised the alarm before now, even before El-Rufai mentioned it. I said it weeks ago that the Presidency, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and some governors who claimed to be APC members are not working for the progress of the APC as a party.

"I am not a card carrying member of APC, neither am I a spokesperson of the APC, but as a citizen and a stakeholder in this country, project Nigeria, once I see certain injustice going on, it behooves on me to say it the way it is, and El-Rufai confirms what I was saying. So it is even better for them as a party, to do it right if not this is not just a Tinubu problem, it is APC problem.

"They all share one thing in common. If Tinubu loses the election, he will carry his cross, all of them will carry their own too. If APC government fails, it is because all of them have decided to allow it fail, so it is not the responsibility of one person.

" Let them respect agreement if there is any; let them pay back in good time, the way they got it too. Let them respect their understanding, though it is not binding on Nigerians. But I don’t also agree that people of honour should talk from both sides of their mouth, they should be consistent," he added. (Story adapted from New Telegraph)
