Following the Federal Government’s decision to suspend the RUGA settlements it initially proposed, a coalition of Nothern groups made a press release, instructing that the program should continue as planned or else, the group would have to consider another option of making the program run.
The group further issued an ultimatum of 30 days to state governments to reconsider their decisions on the program.
Representing the coalition, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman described the rejection of the RUGA settlement as “ragging madness”.
He said, “While we warn all state governments that stand against the implementation of the RUGA Initiative to desist and give peace a chance, we place President Buhari and the Federal Government on notice that they must act to halt and completely stop this raging madness within 30-days beginning from today, Wednesday, July 3rd. For the avoidance of doubt, we advise the Federal authorities and the Southern leaders to heed the 30 days notice, failing to, we will most definitely be left with no option than to consider resorting to our decisive next line of action”
However, he did not mention what the next line of action would be if the group’s warnings were not heeded.
