Noting that it didn’t protest against Buhari’s government, the group said it has realized that protesting now may jeopardize national unity.

It stated that Nigeria has faced difficult times, periods of unrest, and moments that tested its resilience.

In a statement by the spokesperson of NEYGA, Ibrahim Dan-Musa, on Sunday, the group urged Nigerians to give Tinubu a chance, noting that his reforms were taking shape, paving the way for a better future.

“We appeal to other Arewa groups to acknowledge that Nigeria’s challenges are a shared responsibility.

“President Tinubu needs more time to implement his plans for the country. The ongoing reforms offer hope for a better future,” Dan-Musa said.

According to him, the Tinubu-led presidency presents a fresh opportunity for transformation.
