The Arewa Youth Ambassadors, an organization dedicated to raising political awareness and educating youth on their role in promoting good leadership in Nigeria, has urged young people in northern Nigeria to avoid participating in any protests against Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking to journalists in Kaduna on Monday, Namadi Duniya discussed the recent dismissal and call for investigation of the organization’s national coordinator, Comrade Yahaya M. Abdullahi, due to allegations of tribalism and corruption.
He also announced that Mallam Muhammad Lawal has been appointed as Abdullahi’s replacement.
According to him, “The call was made after a unanimous decision was reached by the executives following an emergency meeting held on 13th July 2024 in Dutse, Jigawa State.
“We couldn’t comprehend nor explain the reason for the coordinator’s change in behavior. His statements and actions no longer represent or align with those of our organization and have therefore called for action.

“The coordinator’s recent outbursts, attacks on the government and its economic reform policies, and calls for protests have revealed his ulterior motives, hence his lack of patriotism.”
He pointed out that this individual, who was alive and healthy, observed the entire eight years of former President Buhari without calling for protests or criticizing any of his policies. However, this person is now very comfortable doing so.
He alleged that the reason for this change is that Buhari is from the North, the same region as the individual, whereas Tinubu is not. He claimed that this behavior is rooted in tribalism and stated that they will not accept a tribalist as their coordinator.
The chairman said, “He has equally sneaked around to collect money from his sponsors to organize a protest against this administration, turn Nigerians against Tinubu’s administration, and possibly cause chaos. We are not with him in this; it is his position and his sponsors’, but not that of the Arewa Youth Ambassadors.”
While urging their members to avoid the protest, Duniya also called on security agencies, including the DSS and police, to closely investigate him.
They emphasized the need to maintain law and order and hold him accountable for any disruptions to public peace or chaos that could undermine economic activities.
