The National Youth Leader, Congress of Northern Nigeria Christians, Engr. Daniel Kadzai, has challenged the Arewa youths to authenticate their call for the resignation of Senate President Godswill Akpabio with facts.
Kadzai was furious over what he called the excessive utterance of the group, wondering what gave them the impetus to always make demands on national issues.
Recall that a group called the Arewa Conglomerates had yesterday called for the resignation of the Senate President, Akpabio.
Calling the demand irresponsible, Kadzai, who is also a former National President, Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, (YOWICAN), and Chairman of Interfaith Coalition Conference, described the call as a flimsy excuse that does not hold water.
Speaking with DAILY POST on Wednesday in a telephone conversation, he said since the emergence of President Bola Tinubu as the President of Nigeria and his appointment of a Southerner as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and the emergence of a Southerner as the Senate President, the Arewa group had been uncomfortable.
Kadzai said the people to blame for the country’s woes were the previous government which ran the country down with clueless policies
Kadzai called on the Arewa group to stop assuming that they own Nigeria by not supporting anything that is not northern Muslim in nature.

President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio, on Wednesday, asked the judiciary to commence a reform of the justice sector.
Tinubu said the judiciary needed critical reforms to address systemic challenges and serve justice to Nigerians.
Speaking at the National Summit on Justice, 2024, held at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja, the President also demanded accountability from the judiciary.
In recent times, the judiciary has come under censure over the reported misconduct by some judicial officers, lawyers and litigants which has given rise to the clamour for reforms in the justice sector.
Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shetimma at the summit, emphasised the urgency for policy innovation and legislative action to create a justice system that serves both current citizens and future generations.
“I accordingly urge the leadership of all justice sector institutions to seek a new direction and focus on outcomes by creating a justice system that truly responds to the needs of our citizens – one that serves Nigerians now and for generations to come,” Tinubu said while declaring open the national summit.
The President said much could be achieved when institutions of the executive, legislature and judiciary unite to acknowledge their challenges and brainstorm to proffering solutions to the problems bedevilling Nigeria
