Youths under the aegis of Southern and Middle Belt Allied Youths (SAMBAY) have replied their northern counterparts for the threat the Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) issued against a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode.

 In a statement signed by Fidelis Ujah (Middle Belt), Onyema Ukachukwu (South-east) and Mustapha Olasubomi (South-west) after an emergency meeting called by the group to discuss the threats that have not only been issued by northern elements against Femi Fani-Kayode but also against the other parts of the country in recent times as regards permutations for 2019, the group warned that nothing whatsoever must happen to the former minister.

The group said it knows that it is the AYF that is pursuing purely selfish interests by insisting that power must remain in the North when their definition of “North” has clearly over the years excluded the middle belt region.
