From Okwe Obi, Abuja
The Coalition of Northern Youths for Peace and Stability (CNYPS) has charged security agencies to fish out sponsors of violence in the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria.
It claimed that thugs and criminal have hijacked the peaceful demonstrations in some part of the country.
CNYPS Spokesman, Muhammad Garba Yahaya, at press briefing yesterday in Abuja, specifically told Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, to provide security for the protesters.
Yahaya said the protest was the time for politicians to deploy thugs to intimidate and harass peaceful protesters, a situation that has resulted to violent acts, destruction of properties, and looting.
“We call on security agencies to apprehend those responsible for orchestrating violence and disruption.
“It is imperative that Governor Lawal redirects his focus towards addressing the pressing security challenges and rampant corruption within Zamfara State, rather than employing diversionary tactics to deflect attention from his administration’s glaring failings.
“Unfortunately, he has chosen to exacerbate the situation, fanning the embers of conflict and prioritizing his political interests over the well-being of his citizens.
“In light of this, it would have been prudent for Governor Lawal to join forces with all stakeholders to calm the situation and welcome President Tinubu’s negotiation table, while concentrating on revitalizing the dilapidated state of Zamfara.
“It is pertinent to acknowledge that the current economic predicament was not solely created by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as implied by many, but rather is a culmination of years and decades of flawed administrative decisions, misguided government policies, and inadequate planning by previous administrations.
“It would be beneficial for all stakeholders if every governor were to collaborate with the president in achieving the Nigeria of our collective aspirations.”
He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s efforts in addressing the country’s socioeconomic challenges and urged Governor Lawal to follow suit by focusing on revitalizing the dilapidated state of Zamfara
