Buhari Not Fit For Leadership In 2019 – Arewa Youth Forum

Ahead of the 2019 election, the leadership of the Arewa Youth Forum, has stated on Monday that President Muhammadu Buhari does not deserve any endorsement for the presidency election.

While reacting to the alleged endorsement by some of the serving lawmakers in the All Progressives Congress from the Northwest in Kaduna, the youth forum national President, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu, stated that the President is not fit to return as President.

The AYF stated that the President should serve his legalized four years term and quit the stage for another Northerner due to the killing in the country.

The AYF President noted that President Buhari’s 2019 ambition was the claim that the killings in the country is perpetrated by desperate politicians, and he’s yet to make any arrest of a suspect.

Gujungu, said that the President should be blamed for the attacks on innocent Nigerians in the country.

He said:”Nigerians should hold the President Buhari responsible for the killings because he made it clear in one of his speeches that it was ‘desperate politicians’ that are responsible for the herdsmen killings.

“Being the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, the bulks stops on his table. It is important, therefore, for him to fish out the desperate politicians as a matter of urgency.

“Therefore, to allow the president to come in 2019 will spell doom, not only for the North but the entire country.

“This is not 2015 when we said North versus the South. This is not APC or PDP affairs.

“We have enough Presidential aspirants in the North that are capable and not Buhari again.

“Buhari should just honourably leave the stage in 2019 so that the North can regain its lost glory.”
