Nigerians React to Northern Groups’ 30-Day Ultimatum for Return of RUGA Policy
Following the suspension of the establishment of RUGA settlements, the spokesperson for the Coalition of Northern Groups, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, in a video has ordered the federal and state governments to bring back the RUGA Settlements Project within 30 days. He reminded the nation that herdsmen have the right to live and flourish in any part of the country.
The spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez who said this on Channels Television had insisted that failure to do so will result in them resorting to their own ‘decisive line of action’.
Watch the Video:
Nigerians have reacted to this on Twitter, saying that the Fulani Herdsmen have no right to ‘threaten’ the nation or declare a ‘war’ on people.
Read their reactions:
Ladies and Gentlemen!
What is happening on this video please?
Who is this man threatening war on the entire Nation because of RUGA?
Has he been arrested yet or our security agencies are waiting till the “war” begins?

So a group came on tv, gave press briefing giving 30 days ultimatum to FG and States to reverse suspension of RUGA settlements. These people will walk free while DSS will pick young people up for tweets. Another group would be called terrorists for doing same
We are watching.

I saw the threat video where the spokesman says federal govt should reverse the decision on RUGA, I think this is the best time governors & traditional rulers in SW should shun partisan politics & tell themselves the truth. If they refuse to take a stand now, they are failures!

If the FG didn’t arrest this guy, then Nigeria is doom, IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu will be justified, and whatever the Niger Deltans Do then they are right.

Unless the South team up against the approaching war, courtsey of the RUGA imposition, they don’t have a chance to stop it & permanently free themselves from an obviously failed state under Major-General Buhari. The Middle-Belt which massively voted for APC in 2015 & 2019, in spite of their people being massively killed by core north militia herdsmen, if they shun doublespeak by demonstrating visible commitment to their own salvation from the core north could as well join the south & not act as a mole in the Middle-Belt & Southern forum.

War is not good but, can bring peace if prepared for. It’s better to die than to allow human beings like yourself to turn you to slave or become threat to you.
Nobody will complain if federal government wants to settle igbo or yoruba in any part of the country because they’ve been peaceful.
Ruga is a kiss to death.
