The Arewa Revival Project (ARP) on Wednesday opposed the 48-hour ultimatum issued by the Arewa Youth Assembly for Good Leadership (AYAGL) to Senate President Godswill Akpabio regarding the suspension of Senator Natasha Uduaghan.
During a news conference in Abuja, ARP Project Coordinator Muttaka Ahmed Ibrahim described the ultimatum as inflammatory and counterproductive, urging for more peaceful and lawful methods to address political grievances.
Ibrahim emphasized that the language used by AYAGL’s Speaker, Ambassador Abdul Danbature, calling for mass protests and occupation of the National Assembly, undermines democratic processes and incites unnecessary tension.
He stressed that the suspension of any senator must follow due process and should be resolved through established legal frameworks rather than emotional reactions.
While acknowledging concerns over fairness and justice, Ibrahim advocated for constructive dialogue and legal channels instead of threats of protests.
He also called for a transparent investigation into Uduaghan’s allegations against Akpabio, free from political interference.
The ARP further condemned the use of violence in politics, asserting that politicians who incite unrest should face sanctions. They urged northern NGOs and civil society organizations to remain impartial and focused on serving the public rather than engaging in partisan conflicts.
The Arewa Revival Project reaffirmed its commitment to promoting peace, unity, and responsible governance in Northern Nigeria, calling on all politicians to prioritize national interests over personal ambitions.
