The Arewa Youths Forum(AYF), has urged President Goodluck Jonathan and other well-meaning Nigerians to call Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo to order in the interest of peace and national development. The group also called on all Nigerians to pray for the peace, as it is only through peace that the country can move forward and surmount the challenges facing it.
AYF was responding to what it called the “outburst and frontal attack on the north” by Asari-Dokubo, who leads the Niger Delta People Volunteer Force.
“Let it be known that the youths of the North under the umbrella of the AYF are peace loving people who believe in the peaceful co existence of Nigeria and has been working and will continue to work for the peaceful co existence of the country,” the group said today in a press statement signed by Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu, its National President.
“It is in this light that AYF believes that well meaning Nigerians including Muslim clerics and other elders from the north are condemning the activities of the Islamic sect,” the statement said, noting that many Muslim leaders have stated that what the Boko Haram sect is doing is Un-Islamic and should be stopped.
The AYF described as “unfortunate” the fact that people like likes of Asari-Dokubo are blaming the North for Boko Haram, as if every northerner is a member of Boko Haram.
AYF threatened to “expose” Asari-Dokubo for whom he really is if he continues with his behavior, as he is “not the one to threaten any body” and should not continue in the way of threat or else we will be force to expose him for who he truly is.
