Some youths under the
aegis of Northern Youths Movement (NYM) have accused the All Progressives
Congress (APC) leader, Senator Bola Tinubu of being the man behind the call for
the resignation of President Mohammadu Buhari.
A group, The PDP Media
Watchdog, had reacted to the statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari,
declaring that his age will affect his performance rate as President of
Nigeria. The group had urged the
President to resign from office.
The Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has, however, disowned the group.
NYM in a statement
signed by its protem Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato alleged that the press
statement credited to the PDP Media Watchdog actually emanated from Tinubu’s
media office in Lagos.
NYM alleged that it was
part of the agenda to cut short Buhari’s tenure that Tinubu desperately wanted
to hijack the Senate and House of Representatives by installing his cronies as
Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
“The comment made in
South Africa by President Buhari, regarding his age was deliberately hyped by
Tinubu’s hatchet men in the media and the call for the president’s registration
was aimed at gauging the reaction of Nigerians.
“Also, we are aware
that Tinubu’s camp is working on the possibility of President Buhari not
completing his term, either due to failing health or death.
“However, we youths in
north are aware of his (Tinubu) plot against the north and we wish to tell him
that we are watching.
“He has failed in his attempt to hijack the National Assembly
and use it to impeach President Buhari and we want to assure Tinubu and his
cronies that President Buhari will not only complete his tenure, he will go for
second term,” NYM said.
