The National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, Alhaji Yerima Shettima has again reiterated that claims by the South East region of Nigeria being marginalized, is incorrect.
The National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, Alhaji Yerima Shettima has again reiterated that claims by the South East region of Nigeria being marginalized, is incorrect.
According to Shettima, the region that can claim of being marginalized is the North Central of Nigeria, not the South east.
Shettima, known for his vocal and hard comments bordering on national issues, stressed that the leaders of the south east should be held responsible for the shortfall of infrastructure in the region by their people.
In a recent interview granted to an online platform, the AYCF President revealed that he doesn't understand it when the people of the Southeast region of Nigeria say they are being marginalized in the scheme of things in the country.

“When they say they are being marginalized, I don’t understand how and where they are being marginalized.
“They say it is because they are not allowed to come into governance; can you stay behind and seek power? Is power something that you can just threaten people, then get it?
“And if they are talking about being marginalized, what happens to the North Central? North central has never produced the number two person in the seat of governance, but the Southeast had. They had SGF and Senate President.

“The North central has gotten nothing since 1999 till date. If there is any region that has been marginalized, then it’s the North central and they have not agitated or killed anybody, or held the country to ransom. So, what marginalization are they talking about, there is nothing like marginalization.
“Don’t they have the number of Senators required? Don’t they have Ministers, governors? So, why are they channelling their anger to the centre and not to their leaders? What are the governors doing with all the fundings they are getting?
