Afenifere Renewal Group, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari
not to take the Yoruba for granted as he continues to make appointments into
his cabinet .In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Kunle Famoriyo, criticized
Buhari for failing to make a strong ‘first impression’, following anxious
agitation across the country on recent presidential appointments.
The statement read, “Our people have hope that the new
administration will engender a genuine rapprochement between nationalities in
Nigeria; but there are now growing perceptions, at least in the southern parts
of the country, that the President might be slipping into the stereotypical
Northern hegemony inclination he was labeled as having the during the
campaigns.
The group said Buhari and leaders of his party, the All
Progressives Congress, must henceforth ensure that future appoints are
balanced.
The statement added, “While we call for the continued support of
our people for Buhari’s administration, we want to remind Mr. President that
Yoruba people have never been a cannon fodder and will resist any such
treatment.
“The ARG demands, therefore, a reassuring response from the
Presidency, especially in subsequent presidential appointments and decisions,
because if this scenario continues to play out, it will be difficult to retain
the trust and expectation that drove what eventually brought to reality the
current coalesced Federal Government.”
