The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) and Yoruba Youth Council (YYC) have criticized the former aide to Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Daniel Bwala over uncomplimentary comments on the security apparatus under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Bwala in his comments, had suggested that the Ministers of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, and Bello Matawalle, might be shown the exit door which the leadership of the youth groups regarded as not only unfounded but also a diversion from the real issues that plague the nation.
Specifically, Bwala had in a post on his X handle on Sunday insinuated that his perception caused the seizure by bandits of Nigerian military armoured vehicles somewhere in Zamfara State in the Northwest region, leading to a reported video victory celebration by terrorism kingpin Bello Turji and his armed bandits.
