YORUBA YOUTHS DARE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER MIYETTI ALLAH's CALL FOR THE ARREST OF CHIEF OLUSEGUN OBASANJO





The Igbimo Odo Yoruba's attention has been drawn to a media statement today,  by a faction of the dreaded Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, calling on the Federal Government to arrest former President Olusegun Obasanjo, over comments made by him in his open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday. 

We strongly consider this ridiculous call by this faction of the notorious Miyetti Allah group as not only an insult, but a joke taken too far by these characters, who have today become an organization of national security concern to the average Nigerian. We want  to liken the latest call for the arrest of former President Obasanjo to the infamous 30 days ultimatum issued by one of its surrogate organisations known as the Coalition of Northern Group CNG, over issues around the establishment of cattle colonies by the Buhari administration. 

We hereby dare the Federal government to arrest President Olusegun Obasanjo and see what will be the  fallout of such action. 

It is worrisome that people who ordinarily should be behind bars for the numerous crimes against humanity in Nigeria, that were the issues around which Chief Obasanjo letter focused on, are now audacious enough making media appearances and issuing  further threats to the security and stability of our country.  

We loudly  say that for the Federal government to make any attempt at  arresting Chief Obasanjo or any of our leaders, who have risen to the occasion of calling on this administration to act, in the face of a likely national disintegration, being fueled mainly by the attrocious activities of the members of Miiyetti Allahwill not augur well, not only  for the present government, but also every enablers of the atrocities being committed against Nigerians, particularly in the southwest. 

Today, Nigerians are watching helplessly, as Fulani herdsmen masquerading as Miyetti Allah,  keep tormenting innocent citizens while carrying out lots of atrocities against non -Fulani  communities  with the Federal Government not raising an eyebrow. 
We repeat that  if Buhari’s government continue to keep quiet as these marauders keep insulting our sensibilities without immediately putting an end to their criminalities across the country, we shall no longer take it kindly with the government and those assaulting our people. 

If this administration wants to make any arrest, they should start from these criminals and terrorists who have made lives miserable for us and are pushing our country completely to the brink.

Whoever thinks of arresting President Obasanjo or any of our leaders should immediately bury such thought  because it will backfire seriously on them.

We also want to call on government and security agencies to immediately call these factions of Miyetti Allah to order against making disparaging statements that are uncalled for. There is nothing unusual about citizens particularly elder statesman like Chief Obasanjo,  speaking against politics of the incumbent provided they are based on facts.

We urge Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to remain consistent and feel free to call the incumbent administration to order when need be.

We have spoken !


Signed:

Olufemi Lawson, 
Secretary General, 

Igbimo Odo Yoruba

 The sad occurrence of the collapse of a 21 storey building in Lagos was a monumental disaster. Certainly the loss of more than 20 lives up to-date is a painful human tragedy. All attention must be focussed on what happened, why it happened and how can future occurrences be prevented all together!. Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, as usual of him, immediately rose to the occasion. Cut short his schedule official engagement in Rome and went to the venue straight from the airport. Even before his arrival the General Manager in charge was immediately sent on compulsory leave. Within 24hrs the governor has visited the site and the surviving victims about twice and a technical enquiry committee of capable and highly credible professionals has been put in place to unravel whatever happened and to advice government appropriately on issues including that of culpability, negligence and possible acts of criminality. It is widely reported that the number of floors constructed was far in exces...
