A northern-based group, Arewa Youths for Peace and Security, says officials of the present administration ‘detest’ the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The group noted that Buhari appointees are fond of attacking Tinubu because of a purported presidential ambition of the former Lagos state governor.
This was disclosed in a statement by the group’s President, Alhaji Salisu Magaji, on Thursday.
According to the group, Tinubu is “the kind of leader this nation deserves at this point in our democratic evolution.”
The group’s statement comes in reaction to a viral video where the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, made reference to Tinubu as his mate while exchanging words with a member of the House of reps, James Faleke.
The group condemned “the clownish and uncivilized attitudes of some top government officials of the Buhari Administration that obviously exhibit unpreparedness for the nitty-gritty and challenges of governance which they have seamlessly taken to be a tea party.”
It accused Ngige of “condescending so low by appearing at the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly only to exhibit traits comparable only to those coming from a disoriented class and simply put, those from the gutters.”
The statement added: “The body language of this government is that they detest Tinubu becoming the next President of Nigeria and are ready to stop him, and the question is what are they afraid of?”
It assured that no amount of the efforts put in by anyone can stop the emergence of Tinubu as Nigeria’s next president if it is destined by God.
