A Youth revolutionary movement in Enugu state COAL CITY YOUTHS INITIATIVE under the leadership of Comrade Johnpaul Anih has condemned and denounced the reckless and provocative call by the federal government to establish Ruga settlement or cattle colony in South East, and admonish the Enugu state government not to accept it in any part of the state, otherwise it will aggravate the youths of the state to defending their lands and shall be fiercely resisted by the youths both from high & low quarters.
Comrade Anih who is the Director General of the movement and doubles as the Nigerian consultant Net4 Radio London Stated this in a press release issued by the group on Monday.
He maintained that Enugu state is the most peaceful in the country and there is absolutely no threat in any form, to the Fulani people living in the state nor their business that warrants the Ruga settlement or the Fulani defense corps.
” We already have vigilante services across the state to augment the services of other security agencies and there is absolutely no need to pollute the already harmonious security relationship by adding Ruga into the equation. They should concentrate and devote their energy to assisting in addressing the cruel and reckless bloodletting all over Northern Nigeria”, he said.
The group sound a note of warning to the state government, national and state house of assembly members, traditional and religious leaders, and security personnel in the state not to accept the looming disaster.
“We take note of the unfortunate news playing out all over the South East detailing the tales of woe of how Fulani herdsmen ransack and ravage farmlands, rape innocent women and slaughter defenceless men while these herders enjoy immunity from arrest and prosecution”
The group threatened that any attempt to accepting the Ruga settlement and voilent Fulani militia in any part of the state shall results to the youths defending their lands.
Comrade Johnpaul Anih further stated that the youths of the state are peaceful, but must not be pushed to the wall, where as helping the Government of the state to achieve a perfect and people oriented administration, remains their core priorities.
