The National Leader of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, has said that President Bola Tinubu he knows is no longer the one occupying the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Yerima raised the alarm over the appointments of the president that neglected the youths in preference to the old brigades.
Yerima feared the possibility of power hijacked by the Aso Rock cabals and said he had reservations about Bola Tinubu’s presidentialism.
“Some of us now have our reservations about the President. The Bola Tinubu that I know and that I once worked in the trenches is a totally different person now. I hope it’s not what I am thinking, and I don’t want to believe that he would be hijacked by the same characters.
“I expect that by the coming of Tinubu, certain things would have happened where he would begin to believe in this present generation than the old men of the past who had worked with him and the same people coming back tactically behind the doors. Some of them have a lot of influence on the government. I hope that he will not allow himself to be carried away.
“He should learn from what happened to his predecessor. I hope he will be remembered positively because my prayers are that this present government that I ascribed as ‘our government’ should live up to expectations.
“I have my reasons when I said it’s our government. It is our government because it’s a product of our struggle. Even though I have worked closely with him and recently, from a far distance, I still relate very well to him. I am one of those behind the scenes with my counterpart, Muhajid Asari Dokubo, making statements for Tinubu’s presidency.”
