From Okwe Obi, Abuja
The Reformed Arewa Youth Council of Nigeria (RAYCN) has told former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa, and Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi to perish their alleged plots to destabilise President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
RAYCN National President, Bilal Abdulahi, in a statement yesterday, called on security agencies to beam their searchlights on perceived enemies of the present administration.
He said: “It is clear that their intention and their several meetings are aimed at intimidating the government of President Tinubu and the various organs of government, and making the citizens feel that the government and its various organs are not doing enough to lead the people to prosperity.
“This is a matter of utmost state security concern. Its propensity and devastation can be better imagined. The country, and indeed national security, is under serious threat by the activities of these marauding tripartite, and we cannot fold our arms until we are submerged or overwhelmed by their evil machinations and subterfuge.
“This is nothing short of an attempt to overthrow and possibly topple a democratic institution. It is a treasonable felony and must be resisted with all necessary state powers.
“It is clear that ever since their shameful and incontrovertible defeat at the polls by President Bola Tinubu, these three elements have not hidden their hate and disdain for the person and organs of the various governments.
“It is, however, unfortunate that this hatred and disdain are pushing them to act against the office of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, becoming a direct threat to our democracy and the rule of law. They must be stopped with all might and not be allowed to go further, as this will serve as deterrence.”
