Northern Youth beg President Tinubu To Grant Presidential Amnesty To The Detained Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba kyari.
From Lateef Taiwo
A Coalition of Arewa Youths from the North East and North West has launched a passionate appeal to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to grant
presidential amnesty to the detained Deputy Commissioner of Police Mr. Abba kyari.
In an open letter signed by Dan Arewa and Dr Sufi Abdullahi to President Tinubu,made available to newsmen in Abuja, on Sunday the group stated that the embattled detective still have a lot to contribute to nation building and National Security as we prepare for the 2027 elections
"With utmost respect and patriotic concern, I write to Your Excellency to express a sincere opinion regarding the political an̈d Security climate of the nation as we approach the next general election in 2027. As a concerned citizen with deep interest in national unity, National Security and political stability, I feel compelled to draw your attention to a matter that may significantly impact the perception and support of your leadership, especially in Northern Nigeria"
"Your Excellency, the continued detention of Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari has remained a subject of passionate discourse across the North. While we all recognize the importance of upholding the rule of law, justice must also be balanced with mercy, strategic foresight, and political wisdom. Many Northerners, especially youths and grassroots stakeholders, still hold Abba Kyari in high regard due to his past outstanding contributions to national security and his visible dedication in fighting crime."
'I strongly believe that granting clemency or facilitating a lawful, fair resolution to his case could serve as a powerful symbol of reconciliation, unity, and renewed trust. It will not only soften hardened hearts but also serve as a bridge to reconnect with a large section of the Northern electorate who currently feel overlooked or disillusioned"
The group while appealing for clemency noted that " There is growing sentiment that such a gesture from Your Excellency will be seen as a sign of strong leadership not weakness and it could change the political narrative in the North. Even those who may not have supported your first mandate may begin to see your presidency in a different light."
"Your Excellency, I share this with a strong sense of responsibility and without any intention to interfere in judicial processes. However, history often remembers great leaders not only for their policies but for their political intelligence and ability to unite a nation in moments of deep division"
