The Arewa Youth Ambassadors, representing a significant coalition of northern youths, have declared their unwavering support for the upcoming #FearlessInOctober protests.
The demonstrations, set to commence on October 1, aim to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies and demand urgent reforms to address the growing issues of hunger, hardship, and poor governance in Nigeria.
This was made known in a statement issued on Wednesday by one of its leaders, Comrade Yahaya M. Abdullahi. He said that the planned protests which are the second phase of the August 1-10 protests, are necessary and inevitable.
Abdullahi stated that the failure of Tinubu’s government to develop a clear economic strategy is a threat to justice, stressing that justice is the basis for the social system.
Abdullahi said “In order to promote peace, a government should be honest and just. Because there is no path to a sustainable future but peace: the link to reason and agreement, the stimulant for development and the base of remaining alive.”
According to him, “Peace should be taken in tow by justice to achieve the levels of national cooperation, inclusiveness and trust needed for resilience. Otherwise, things will for sure fall apart, with so many avoidable problems to come after in time, here and there.
“The current severe economic crisis and the difficulties we are going through in this country are caused by the harsh and inhumane policies imposed upon us by the President Tinubu-led government.
“Transparency and consensus are nowhere to be found in this regime of a government that is obviously serious on reducing every individual outside of the powers that are to indigence and beggary.
“In this respect, the abrupt removal of fuel subsidy has thrown the masses into a state of misfortune and affliction. The unequal distribution of foodstuffs and money to the friends and family of those at the corridor of power is unacceptable and cannot solve our problems, return fuel subsidy now.
“Nigerians have been subjected to untold suffering through reckless public utterances and insupportable economic policies. This leaves them with no option than to make their frustration and anger clear through acceptable means.”
He also noted that, “Protest is our right, we must protest against the ongoing bad governance. We can’t continue living as slaves in our own Country, we must speak and fight for ourselves, nobody else can do it for us.
“The youth must all come out to the street on the 1st October and once the government fails to reverse these sugar-coated disasters called economic policies that subjected us into abject poverty and hunger, the protest will continue.
“We must act to bring change in our fatherland, the government has failed and the youth must act, People are dying in hunger and nobody cares.
“No nation can survive on hunger, even water, the second life, is denied. Therefore, our planned protest is necessary and inevitable, no backing out of it.
“The only escape will be as and when the government changes to the contrary for Nigerians to have a sense of relief.”
