The leadership of Unified Nigerian Youth forum (UNYF) have condemned the tragic attacks on the Kaduna-Abuja train that resulted to the death and injuries of many Nigerians, earlier this week.
Comrad Abdulsalam Moh’d Kazeem, President Unified Nigerian Youth forum, condemned the attacks in a Press statement made available to Journalists on Thursday, said the series of Attacks have further exposed the inability of the Current Administration to keep to her campaign promises.
According to Abdulsalam, UNYF is not surprise of the current happenings in the country, because after over 6 years of the current administration, they are still blaming the past government over everything.
In their Statement, “Unified Nigerian Youth forum condemned the attacks in strong terms the tragic attacks on the Abuja – Kaduna Train.
“The series of Attacks has further exposed the inability of the Current Administration to keep to her campaign promises, the spate of insecurity in our nation is terrible and we lack appropriate words to describe it.
“The nation as usual again just lost some finest brains, though many where injured while others where kidnapped; to our greatest surprise The Nigerian Railway Cooperation as at this moment is still unable to provide the nation the original manifest of all those on that particular train, to us in this 21st century, this is shameful, DISGRACEFUL and gross incompetence of the highest order.
“It is no news again that the current Administration has failed us, but we the citizens should not allow this to consume us and the leadership, because available information at our disposal shows the nation has recently imported super Tucanos and many helicopter fighting jets, but to our greatest surprises the said Tucanos and Fighter jets are no where to be found, rather some of them are diverted to be used against citizens during peaceful and lawful protest against bad governance, to us indeed it’s a misplaced priority and wrong placement.
“As a Forum we are not surprise of the current happenings in our country, because after over 6 years of the current administration, they are still blaming the past government over everything, this alone has further proven that nothing good can be achieved by President Mohammed Buhari and his co travellers, rather they will continue to fed us with their usual propaganda and conspiracy theories of blaming others for their short comings and inaptitudeness, to us this must stop now as we completely reject such tactics in totality.
They demanded that the Federal Government within 7-working days meet up the following expectations:
“Having said that; we demand the following within 7 working days declare a state of emergency on security, Secure the Release of all those kidnapped without asking their relatives to pay the ransom, pay all medical bills of those that sustained injuries and currently in the hospital and equally compensate them for lost of valuables.
Other demands includes that the Nigerian Railway Cooperation should provide them with the comprehensive Manifest of all those on the train, set up a committee to identify the families of all those that lost their lives and adequate compensation should be given to their next of kins and thereafter bring down Rijana Town and convert it to military police training ground.
Abdulsalam said failure to comply with the above demands would force UNYF to picket every Agency and parastatal of Government.
