The Arewa Youth Federation (AYF) has dissociated itself from the planned mass protests aimed at addressing President Bola Tinubu’s perceived poor governance. The group alleges that the protests are driven by individuals with ulterior motives, posing a threat to national stability.
In a statement, AYF President Kabir Mutazu declared that the organization will not participate in protests across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This development comes amidst widespread discontent over the recent removal of subsidies, which has led to a significant increase in the cost of living and essential commodities.
The planned protests have sparked concerns about potential national destabilization, and the AYF’s stance may impact the momentum of the demonstrations.
