Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has claimed that the Arewa
Community in Lagos State has been left out in the distribution of
palliatives during the lockdown.
In a statement signed by Alhaji Yerima Shettima, National President,
AYCF, the organization berated the Lagos State Government for neglecting
its community in the state in the distribution of the lockdown
palliatives.
The group informed the Lagos State Government that the palliative is
a "right" not a gift and as such everyone, "regardless of which part of
Nigeria they come from" is entitled to receive it.
The statement reads: "It has come to the notice of our organization
that the Arewa community in Lagos state has been totally left out in the
distribution of palliatives in the ongoing lockdown.
"We wish to, therefore, indicate our position as follows:
"1. We share pain and agony of the Arewa community for being
neglected by the Lagos state government as if they not residents of the
State. And we believe that this is totally unacceptable.
"2. We wish to remind the Lagos State Government that the palliative
is not a gift but a right for all the people in the State, regardless of
which part of Nigeria they came from. The Covid-19 is a global problem
and anywhere there is lockdown the authorities come forward with food
and other essentials for the people of the communities where pandemic is
infecting and killing people. We are appalled that the Lagos State
Government has neither offered the palliative to the Arewa community nor
make any official announcement about its plans for the Arewa community.
"3. We wish to remind the Lagos State Government that it would be
doing no special favor to the Area community by giving them what rightly
belongs to them. All relevant laws are here to confirm the difference
between pandemic palliatives and favors by a government.
"4. It is uncivilized, unthinkable and unacceptable for the Lagos
State Government to abandon the Arewa community in this crucial hour of
need. There now a pandemic and there’s the attendant lockdown for which
no reasonable government will fold its arms and watch citizens in
avoidable suffering.
"We, at the AYCF, say no to this open selective patronage in One
Nigeria. A skewed process that takes the suffering of a section of its
citizens as less important than that of other citizens stands
condemnable by all Nigerian men and women of conscience.
"To be forewarned is to be forearmed," the group concluded.
