Arewa Youths Group Warns Against Intimidation/Arrest of APC Members by Kano Government
The Arewa Youths Merger Group expresses grave concern over recent developments in Kano State, particularly concerning the intimidation and threats directed towards members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), following their agitation for the arrest of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, over his inciting remarks.
The Arewa Youths Merger Group emphasizes that the exercise of free speech and political expression is a fundamental right enshrined in our constitution.
Any attempt to suppress or intimidate individuals for expressing their views, no matter how contentious, undermines our democratic values and principles.
Furthermore, regarding recent judicial developments concerning the emirate crises, we note that the Federal High Court judgment has not ruled in favor of the stance taken by the Kano State Government.
It is imperative that all parties respect the rule of law and abide by judicial decisions without prejudice.
As a coalition dedicated to upholding the interests and rights of Northern Nigerian youths, we urge the Kano State Government to desist from any actions that may be perceived as politically motivated intimidation.
Signed
Hon. Musa Mujahid Zaitawa
National Coordinator,
Arewa Youths Merger Group
