To all Nigerian Youth..
Let’s condemn the motion raised by a fellow youth in the house of Representatives on the need to privatize Nigerian Universities. We understood that opinion varies; but the security, health, and education of the common men should not be compromised or rubbished.
HON. FATUHU MUHAMMED is a youth and a Member representing Daura/Sandamu/MaiAdua Federal Constituency of Katsina State. He is one of the privileged youths to be elected into the house of the law, we expect him to give the youths a good name, vibrant representation, and youthful coloration. Katsina State, the North, and Nigeria should frown at this member for his heartless, taught less, careless and merciless comments on the privatization of the Nigerian Universities.
The Arewa Youth added “We urge all Katsina and Northern Youths to write letters of grief to this ‘fellow youth’ demanding an urgent apology to Nigerian Students and the educational system”‘ said the Arewa Youth
All alumni, students, lecturers, and associations of political science must call HON. FATUHU MUHAMMED back to order, condemn his ill wish, and remind him about the condition of the common man in Nigeria.
All Nigerian Youth should learn the procedures of Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution on the process of recalling a member of the House of Representatives or even Section 110 for recalling any member of the House of Assembly. This may be necessary for curbing the menace of ineffective representation. Nigerian youths deserve better.
How Daura people are being misrepresented
“We are warning anybody or group that’s planning to privatize public universities. We hope that the Federal Government is not part of this drama. If it is a plan that anybody is using the member to test the patience of Nigerian youth, we warn that such wickedness and ill-fated plan will never be tolerated lightly. Universities remain the “only left hope” of the common man even as they’re battling challenges of inadequate funding, lack of consistency in government policies, shortages in personal and overhead cost” lamented Arewa Youth
Let’s HON. FATUHU MUHAMMED and all those youths shaming us to know that we’re watching them and we will never forgive them for insulting our youthful place in governance, they are a shame to our youthful class and we’re not praying for such youths to be the leaders of our future. May we have more conscious youths in governance as good representatives? ‘’noted the Arewa Youth
