Insecurity: sokoto youths challenge northern leaders on emergency summit
Aggrieved youths in Sokoto yesterday
challenged northern elites and leaders in
whatever capacity to keep sentiments apart
and convene a regional emergency
congress on the deteriorating insecurity in
the region. The youths who advised that, northerners
must put aside their religious inclination
and see each other as one and confront the
insecurity in the region said that only the
north can solve its problem. According to the youths, northern leaders
at all level must wake up to their
responsibility and ensure that they
collectively come together and make sure
that they end the spate of unwarranted
killings in the region. Most of the youths who did not want
their names on print for security reasons,
said the Boko Haram menace would have
been long solved if the northern leaders
are sincere and have the love and interest
of the poor northern masses at heart. According to one of the youths, Shaibu
Ladan, the region should stand firm and
confront its challenges rather than
trading blames. “Many assumed that the
whole thing was simply a grand design
to ensure that they cause dichotomy between the northern Christians and
Muslims for some sort of political
gains. “But, the truth remained, the dimension
which the killings, either through
bombing, shooting and slaughtering is
taking has proved such observers wrong. “You and I know that, everybody is a
potential target including all the leaders
from the northern axis. Now, most people in some states of the
north can no longer sleep with their two
eyes closed.
