Angry at the recent relocation to Kaduna, a group – Ungwar Sarki/Ungwar Rimi Youth Association has cried out over what they termed “eight years of neglect” by Buhari while in office.

“We are therefore telling him to go back to his Katsina hometown and forget about any support from us again,” the group said in a statement.

The group, comprising residents and supporters of Buhari within his Kaduna residence, said it is highly unfortunate that he never considered anyone of them for appointment or employment during his tenure as president.

Leader of the group, Musa Ibrahim Usman, in a statement, lamented “We are most saddened at the manner he abandoned the Yahaya Road mosque he used to pray before becoming President. Not even a prayer may be sent to support the growth and development of the worship place.

“We can’t believe that with all our support over the years, there is none amongst the neighbours around Ungwar Rimi and Ungwar Sarki that can boast that Buhari either helped him via an appointment with the federal government, empowerment programme or any business initiative.

“It is regrettable that since Buhari won elections in 2015 and left for Abuja as President, he never looked back to the same place that helped to be president until after he lost power and became jobless.

“Since 2003 when he joined politics and ran for President under ANPP, we and other teeming youths followed and supported Buhari wholeheartedly without financial gains.

“But we were not only surprised but disappointed that when the former Governor of Kaduna Nasir Elrufai demolished our shops and houses, Buhari never made any attempt to intervene or prevail over the governor.

“People were killed and injured because of Buhari but he got to power on a platter of gold only to abandon those who supported him to be there.

“We are therefore telling him to go back to his Katsina hometown and forget about any support from us again.”
