Northern coalition accuses govs of backing #RevolutionNow campaign



A Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has alleged that a sitting Governor from the Northwest region is masterminding a Northern version of the #Revolutionow to promote a mischievous 2023 political agenda of certain Northern politicians.
The Coalition in a statement signed by its spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, and made available to newsmen in Kaduna, Wednesday, advised the said unnamed governor, to shelve the planned protest or risk being exposed.


The statement noted that the planned agitations and disturbances were part of a wider agenda aimed at ushering in instability thereby occasioning a change of structure in the presidency to suit the plan of the said governor, by whatever means and tactics.


According to CNG, “Our attention was called to trending reports that a certain fake, fringe and obscure Joint Northern Action Front is mobilizing the North to revive the violent and counterproductive #Revolutionow in Northern parts of the country.


“The #Revolutionow was politely rejected by the North in view of its pronounced sinister intention of forcefully overthrowing the current democratic government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is therefore surprising and suspicious that any group of people should, for any intent and purposes, attempt to resurrect the dead revolution particularly in the North.


“CNG hereby categorically counts itself out of such and similar unpatriotic moves and restates its call for all Northerners to remain resolute in rejecting any attempt to drag them into any dangerous movement in whatever guise.


“We wish to remind the North of the expedience to retain its position as the bulwark of respect, integrity, dignity, decorum, tradition, decency, morality, civilization, etiquette, good behaviour, politeness, accommodation, and other positive traits that include civil approach to every situation.


“The fact that in spite of the studied and dignified reserve of the North and refusal by its people to engage in the destructive move for the overthrow of a democratic government in the guise of a revolution, fresh attempts are now made to mislead the region into embarking on a journey without knowing the actual destination, gives room for serious concern.
“We observe that though dressed in the robes of the botched #Revolutionow initiated by the Southwest gangs, the present concept is ideologically different. It is observed that without the slightest hint at addressing national grievances, these planned protests only aim to promote the mischievous 2023 political agenda of certain Northern politicians by scapegoating other individuals.


“While the nation is generally convinced about the existence of a certain cabal with ample influence on President Muhammadu Buhari and his policies, we nevertheless believe that it should not be made the key focus for the calls to violent confrontation as suggested by organizers of the protests.
“CNG specifically suspects a certain serving governor of one of the Northwest states of masterminding the proposed northern version of the #Revolutionow, as well as the anti-cabal protests held earlier to bring about chaos to avenge his loss in a bid to be made a principal officer in the presidency.
“We therefore see the planned agitations and disturbances as part of a wider agenda aimed at ushering in instability thereby occasioning a change of structure in the presidency to suit the plan of this governor by whatever means and tactics. We advice the Northwest governor involved in this unpatriotic plan to desist and call off the plans forthwith, otherwise we would not hesitate to expose him and his mischievous plans.
“To our brothers who are misled into accepting to be part of the dangerous agitations, we urge more patriotism on their part and ask them to reconsider their position, keeping in mind how Libya was brought to its present situation. We still insist that there are available decent and civilized avenues for approaching and resolving issues that do not necessarily involve violence or the resort to unnecessary and counterproductive confrontation.”
