The Secretary-General of the pan-northern socio-political organisation, Arewa Consultative Forum, Mr Anthony Sani, said the threat was not the solution to the crisis over the Ruga settlements programme.

Sani, added that the suspension of the Ruga programme was not the solution to the crisis.

The ACF secretary appealed to the northern youths to withdraw their ultimatum. He also berated those that were opposed to the programme on the grounds that it was entirely a private enterprise.

Sani said, “They (those opposed to Ruga) should not feign ignorance of government’s involvement in many private ventures like former President Goodluck Jonathan’s Almajiri’s schools which the administration had hoped would solve the problems of banditry as well as herdsmen and farmers’ clashes.

“We know governments have been involved in the establishment of river basins and dams in support of private agricultural ventures. Government has subsidised tractors and fertilisers.

“While I can understand the basis of the group’s’ anger that those who oppose open grazing by nomads are the ones that are opposed to government’s involvement in establishment of ranches, I do not think the ultimatum is the solution to the crisis. Therefore, I appeal to the youths to withdraw their ultimatum in favour of due process of overcoming such challenges.”
