The Reformed Youth Movement of Nigeria (REYOM) has decried
the high level of injustice in the country, which it said has led to agitations
by various groups.
The group, however, chided those calling for the
disintegration of Nigeria, insisting that the bond keeping Nigeria together is
so strong for any group separate.
Speaking after their meeting in Abuja, National Coordinator
of the group, Ejikeme Nwosu, faulted the October 1 ultimatum given by Arewa
youths for Igbos to leave the North and called on the youths to embrace peace,
be productive and imbibe good qualities that would help them participate
actively in governance.
Guardian reported that Nwosu regretted that youths in the country have been unfairly
treated by the political class, who instead of empowering them, only see them
as instruments of thuggery and destabilisation of the country’s fragile peace.
“I believe both Arewa youths and members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) do not know the intricacies of the bond binding
Nigeria. We have gone far, lived together and inter-married and most of these
youths making provocative statements have never been to any other region. “We must
work hard to uphold our peaceful coexistence,” he stated.
