The Middle Belt Youth Council, MBYC, has called on President Mohamadu Buhari to immediately dissolve his pro-Arewa security chiefs to reflect Federal Character where competent service Chiefs from across the country will be involved in managing the precarious security challenges in the country.
It warned in a statement today that the President is presiding over a nation of people whose lives does not really matter as a "result of the activities of this Fourth Dreaded World Terrorist Group because there's no report of any Fulani herdsman being killed anywhere in Nigeria".
The statement signed by Emma Zopmal, President of MBYC added it is very unfortunate that in Nigeria today maiming, killing, raping of helpless women, and destruction of property in the Middle Belt and other parts of Nigeria has become the choice sport of Fulani herdsmen without any repercussive action by Nigerian government, while the government merely play lip service to the current security situation in the country, where Nigerians now live "beside their graves"
According to it, the statement of Gen TY Danjuma is a wakeup call that will "save this country called Nigeria from total collapse"
"We call on Nigerians from the Middle Belt and the South, and the progressive Far North to embrace this fact revealed to us to make things work for good in the best interest of the country. We are now really under siege to be de-oxygenated".
It further warned that the Middle Belt wass united under the current leadership of "our amiable President of Middle Belt Forum, Dr Bala Takaya. We have realized that some groups of people have been issuing uncouth statements in the name of Middle Belt whereas we do not know where they come from, who they are and whose interest they are representing.
"Our leader did not say that Nigerians should take up arms and kill innocent people like the Fulani herdsmen but rather to defend themselves in times of attacks. We should no longer allow our territories to be under siege. The experiences in Benue State, Plateau State, Adamawa State, Kogi State, Zamfara State, Southern Kaduna, Taraba State and some states in Southern Nigeria etc are reasons enough to rise up and defend ourselves", the body insist.
If President Buhari is really serious about security issues, he should not waste time to probe his Service Chiefs and make the report open to Nigerians so as to save our dear country from this daunting predicaments and whoever is found wanting, should be dismissed and prosecuted immediately.
