The Arewa Youth Development Association, composed of prominent patriots from Northern Nigeria, has called for the immediate resignation and prosecution of Ms. Hannatu Musa Musawa as the Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the association, through its National President, Comrade Imrana Nas, expressed serious concerns regarding the controversies surrounding Ms. Musawa’s appointment as a minister. They argue that the security agencies and the Senate failed in their duty to scrutinize her competence adequately, raising questions about the credibility of the screening process.
The primary issue raised by the association is Ms. Musawa’s alleged incomplete National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, which they claim is in violation of relevant laws and the constitution. They argue that her appointment should be considered voidable under these circumstances.
The Association commended the efforts of pressure groups that have taken legal action against this appointment and declared its full support for their cause. They emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law in this matter.
Furthermore, the association cited specific sections of the NYSC Act, which deem it illegal for anyone to govern without completing the NYSC, or partially abandoning the National Service, and they called on President Bola Tinubu to relieve Ms. Musawa of her ministerial appointment and initiate criminal prosecution.
In conclusion, the association urged President Tinubu to prioritize the interests of Nigeria and take immediate action to resolve this controversy, drawing parallels with previous cases involving former ministers. The press release underscores the gravity of the situation and calls for swift resolution.
