An interest group, Arewa Revival Project (ARP), has rejected the 48-hour ultimatum issued to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, by Arewa Youth Assembly for Good Leadership (AYAGL) to reverse the suspension of Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The ARP Project Coordinator, Mr Muttaka Ibrahim, stated this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja.
“ARP, as a group, insists that politicians who encourage instability should face sanctions to deter further disruptions to Nigeria’s democratic process,” he said.
The project coordinator also urged northern-based NGOs and civil society organisations (CSOs) to remain neutral and eschew any partisanship that could undermine their credibility.
“True leadership is about service to the people, not political vendettas or personal ambition. Politicians must prioritize national unity and development over divisive actions,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the AYAGL Speaker, Abdul Danbature, had, at a news conference on Monday in Abuja, given Akpabio 48 hours to reverse the senator’s suspension.
Danbature had also threatened that the group would block Lokoja/Kaduna highway, occupy the national Assembly and stage mass protests if its demands were not met.
He also called on President Bola Tinubu to call the senate president to order.
