Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to change his tactics and go after the terrorists across the country.
It warned that the president could not afford to fail in this critical national assignment like his predecessor.
The group declared that the time for President Tinubu to demonstrate sheer political will and courage at annihilating „these monstrous individuals“ killing and abducting innocent people in their hundreds, particularly school children and giving Nigerians heartache and sleepless nights, is now.
Afenifere in a statement issued and signed by its publicity secretary and the assistant, Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo and Justice Faloye respectively, declared that it would be quite disappointing should Tinubu, like his predecessor, also treat the blood-squealing terrorists with kid gloves.
The group said the president ought to have started working on a list of terrorists which, according to them, was already with the government with the principal motive of making the criminals account for their heinous acts.
Afenifere also called on the Tinubu Presidency to forthwith commence restructuring the country towards operating regional governments under a parliamentary system, while his recent pronouncement on state police should be allowed to have its foothold.
While bemoaning the unbearable economic hardship which the citizens are currently experiencing under his administration, Afenifere said the local currency, the Naira has suffered the worst trajectory of devaluation of 35% in just first 9 months of his administration, achieving the very first massive devastation of naira ever in history.
On the recent killings in Plateau State and the abduction of over 200 school children in Kaduna State, Afenifere said Tinubu must quickly realise that those agents of destabilization, who dealt severe blow to the past administrations have just begun to test the willpower, stressing that the earlier he let them know it was not going to be business as usual the better it is for his administration and the entire citizens.
„The recedescence of this human tragedy is as clear to the Afenifere as the Daylight is distinct from the Eventide. Since this democracy took off, this pattern remains constant, ever present; create chaos, destabilise the government, embarrass the President, finally, disgrace the President out of office“.
„No president since 1999 has escaped this scourge, coming with the political Sharia against Obasanjo, the Niger Delta violent political agitation of Obasanjo and Yar‘Adua and cleverly solved by the duo.
„The Boko Haram religion-later-turned-political instrument to embarrass a sitting southern Christian president as it was with Jonathan, who was told to convert to Islam, followed by the kidnapping extraordinaire of the Chibok girls type, the final shuck that shocked Jonathan out of office,” the group said.
