Ruga Settlements: 30 Days Is Too Long, We’re Waiting For You – Fani-Kayode Replies Northern Youths
The Minister of Aviation under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the recent threat issued by the Coalition of Northern Youths to evict all southerners in the North if the federal government refuse to implement the Ruga settlements for Fulani herders within 30 days.
Naija News had reported that the Federal Government suspended the Ruga initiative earlier planned to put an end to the clash between Fulani herders and host communities.
The plan by the Federal Government was suspended after the idea was greeted by widespread criticism.
The decision which did not go down well with the northern youths saw them issue a 30-day ultimatum to every southerner residing in the north to vacate unless Ruga is implemented.
Fani-Kayode in his reaction to the threat warned the group that the south was ready for them and even charged them to carry out their threat immediately.
The former Minister who took to his Twitter account to report wrote, “the sooner the dance begins the better, while warning the group they will ‘reap the whirlwind that you have sown.”
“To the arewa youths who dared to say that every southerner must leave the north within 30 days unless RUGA is implemented.”
“I say, stop the threats and just do it! the sooner this dance begins the better! 30 days is too long! you will reap the whirlwind that you have sown!”
“We are waiting for you!this time around we are ready.there will be no settlement and there will be no turning back!”
