The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (AYCF), Northern Awareness Network (NAN) and the North West Solidarity Forum (NWSF) has declared support for the strategic relocation of military assets to Sokoto State as proposed by the Defence Minister of State, Bello Mohammed Matawalle.

According to the groups, the initiative will enhance the joint military operations against bandits wreaking havoc in Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Kebbi States and significantly help in combating the escalating security challenges in the northern region.

The position of the groups were stated in a statement, signed by the AYCF president general, Yerima Shettima; NAN chairman, Salihu Suleiman; and NWSF spokesperson, Tanimu Danlawal.

Lamenting the continued violence, criminality and insurgency which has threatened the safety and socio-economic stability of northern Nigeria, said  initiative has become an urgent necessity.

According to them, the call for an enhanced military presence in Sokoto State is rooted in a broader desire to restore peace and order which are critical components for fostering an environment ripe for development and prosperity.

“Recognizing the challenges posed by persistent violence and crime, the AYCF acknowledges that effective implementation of this military strategy is essential for restoring safety and security. The organisation highlights its unwavering support for measures that prioritise the protection of citizens and the stability of communities.

“We call on the federal government to immediately arrest any such voices, whether in the guise of misinformation, dissent, or undue skepticism, and prosecute them appropriately,” they stated, stressing that any attempts to obstruct national security efforts cannot be tolerated.

Emphasising the importance of a coordinated response to threats against national security, the northern groups underscored that any attempts to obstruct these efforts will not be tolerated.

They urged both governmental and non-governmental organisations to join forces in promoting transparent and effective dialogue to deter divisive narratives and protect initiatives aimed at societal growth and safety.

“We are committed to working alongside government officials, security agencies, and local communities to ensure a safe and secure future for all citizens. They believe that through collaboration and shared commitment, the region can overcome adversities and pave the way for sustainable development, the statements stressed.

The groups reiterated their dedication to working collaboratively with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders to foster a safer Nigeria. They encouraged citizens to remain vigilant and supportive of initiatives that serve the greater good of the nation.

“The call for enhanced military engagement in the North must be accompanied by proactive measures to foster public trust the groups emphasised while advocating for an inclusive approach where the government transparently communicates the objectives, coordinates dialogues with local stakeholders, and actively addresses community concerns.”

They also commended the minister’s commitment to allocate the necessary resources for the eradication of notorious bandit leader Bello Turji and his criminal gang.

“This decisive action follows the alarming dissemination of videos showing a Nigerian military armoured vehicle immobilised in a waterlogged region of Kwashabawa, Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State. Such bold leadership is both encouraging and reassuring to our communities suffering from the scourge of banditry,” the said.
