Hausa youths under the aegis of Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF, has reacted to the presidency affirming the normalcy of having cabals within the Federal Government.
AYCF President General, Yerima Shettima in an interview with one of the National dailies charged Nigerians and those within the corridors of powers to discourage the issue of cabal in the Presidency.
“Well I feel the word cabal is a kitchen cabinet in any government, however, what is the business of this, is it in the interest of Nigerians or for their selfish interest?
“Cabal should not be encouraged and if you go back and look at it again you will realise that every government has unforeseen forces within the corridors of power that decide what the most powerful man in government must do.
“This shouldn’t be encouraged and we must begin to look at issues critically and those who are not supposed to be around power should be removed. It, however, takes men of goodwill and determination to do this because oftentimes, we realise that those unforeseen forces are more powerful than those appointed,” he said.
Daily Post reports that only men of goodwill and determination can bring an end to the issue of cabal in the presidency.
Senior Special Assistant to President Buhar on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu had warned Nigerians to stop branding people cabal because they offered to serve the nation by being close to the President.
It could be recalled that on christmas, Mr Shehu enlightened while featuring on channels tv that these people were respectable Nigerians.
He said: “A lot of people who are being dragged into this cabal thing, they are respectable Nigerians who have achieved a lot for themselves and for the nation. They are not there as hungry people who are there to grab things for themselves.”
He furthermore advised Nigerians to rescind in their negative way of naming people who have offered themselves to support the president of the country.
