The President of Arewa Youth Forum, AYF, Gambo Gujungu has
accused South West leaders of using the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele
Fayose and former Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode to pitch Nigerians against
President Muhammadu Buhari-led government and the Northern region.
Gujungu made the claim while reacting to Fayose’s recent remark that
he would release damaging pictures showing that Buhari is currently in a
terrible state of health.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, the AYF President described Fayose’s
claim as lies, stressing that Buhari will soon return to the country.
Gujungu disclosed that he in company of AYF delegation met with the
President in London, adding that Buhari will return after completing
some medical routine.
He, however, warned the South West region to quit playing with Nigeria’s unity for peace to reign.
Gujungu also challenged Fayose to produce the 11 pictures of the
president as he mentioned or quit making further comments on Buhari’s
health.
According to Gujungu, “These South west people think that we don’t
understand the politics they are playing, we do but we will shock them
when the time comes.
“They are using Ekiti state Governor Ayodele Fayose and Former
Aviation Minister Femi Fani Kayode to pitch the rest of the country
against the north and Mr. President in particular, we understand the
game but we are waiting and watching.

“You know am the National President of AYF the umbrella body of all
youths in the north and many of you are aware of our efforts to
stabilize the country. Mostly against this recent call by some of our
brothers to expel people of the south east.
“But some people want to show us that they understand the game of politics more than us. But they are in for a surprise.
“Let me reveal to you guys that after our recent meeting in Kaduna
here, a delegation was sent to London. I led that delegation because we
wanted to know the truth of the situation. We met with the president and
he told us some things.”
“All I can say now is our President would soon be back and people
would witness drastic changes in the country. Many people will be
surprise when he comes I can tell you that.
“Am challenging Governor Fayose to immediately release his eleven
pictures or resign as the governor of his state for telling Nigerians
lies unbecoming of a Governor. This man has been peddling lies to
gullible people thinking he is criticizing the president. This is a
challenge from me to him and I can tell you he would do nothing because
all his claims are tissue of lies.”
