Arewa Youths Lament Over Obasanjo "Taking Dangerous, Narrow-Minded Stance on Any Political Situation"

The youth wing of Arewa Consultative Forum (YACF) has condemned a statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, describing it as a plot to instigate violence in the ongoing 2023 presidential and national assembly election.

In a statement sent to Legit.ng on Tuesday, February 28, the group said the comment by Obasanjo is a plot to instigate politically-motivated violence in the 2023 presidential and national assembly election.

The statement reads in part:

"We were taken aback by the so-called letter of former President Obasanjo, making provocative statements in his usual manner of pretending to be addressing our current challenges in the 2023 elections. It is worrisome that the former President is often the only one taking dangerous, narrow-minded stance on any political situation in Nigeria."

The youths then urged the elder statesman to follow the footsteps of his contemporary like Abdulsalami Abubakar, Ibrahim Babangida, who are now promoters of peace in the country.
