Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the Arewa group in the nineteen northern states condemned in strong terms the ongoing strike action in Kaduna state.
It was reported that the group, which operates under the aegis of Arewa Initiative for Good Governance, spoke through its convener, Salisu Tanko Wusono, who addressed a press conference in Kaduna on Monday, May 17.
The group also lambasted the leadership of the NLC for falling prey to the antics of some opposition politicians to destabilise the state because of their self-induced envy of the achievements of Governor El-Rufai since assumption of office in 2015.

The strike which started on Monday, May 17, left some travellers stranded and frustrated at the Rigasa Train station.
