The Northern Ethnic Youth Group Assembly has declared its support for President Tinubu. The group withdrew from the planned August 1st protest and is soliciting support from Nigerian youths and student unions for the President to implement his economic reforms.
In a statement signed by the group’s spokesperson, Mallam Ibrahim Dan-Musa, the group acknowledged that the current challenges are remnants of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, which were not protested against. The group has urged Nigerian youths to be patient with the President as there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“Nigeria has faced difficult times, periods of unrest and moments that tested its resilience. The nation has endured and survived, and it’s time to look towards a promising future,” it said.
“We appeal to other Arewa groups to acknowledge that Nigeria’s challenges are a shared responsibility. President Tinubu needs more time to implement his plans for the country. The ongoing reforms offer hope for a better future.

“President Tinubu’s presidency presents a fresh opportunity for transformation. Reforms under Tinubu are taking shape, paving the way for a better future. These changes are seen as substantial, forming the foundation for a more secure, prosperous and just nation.
“We are witnessing the dawn of a new era, where mistakes are acknowledged and rectified, and the people’s voices are heard. Now is the time to unite, support the reforms, and hold our leaders accountable. Let’s engage in constructive dialogue, participate actively and ensure our leaders know we are vigilant and invested in our collective future. We must become active participants in shaping our destiny.”
They also reiterated that “Hope is a powerful force. Let’s embrace it with a commitment to making our nation better for all. We owe it to ourselves, our children and the memory of those we lost. Let’s give President Tinubu the time and support needed to implement these vital reforms.
“Let’s watch with open minds and hearts, ready to contribute and collaborate. Together, we can forge a new path for our nation to rise and soar.”
The Northern group has urged Nigerians not to sweep away hope and a sense of responsibility.
They commended Hon. Minister Shaibu Audu for intending to resurrect the Ajaokuta Steel Complex’s mill to produce iron rods annually.
