The Arewa Youth Assembly (AYA) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to seek for foreign in the fight against terrorists.
In a statement on Monday in Kaduna, the group said, “available evidence points to the fact that our numerous Generals without war experience can’t fight the ragtag terrorists who have taking charge of rural areas and are now threatening the nation capital, including Mr President and Governor el-Rufai with kidnap.”
