Arewa People's Congress

The Arewa People's Congress is a recent organisation formed to protect the northern Nigerian interests. Northerners have been complaining of being marginalised by the Obasanjo government.

Disgruntled military officers, serving and retired, are said to be providing the growing 'private armies' with sophisticated weapons, which seriously threaten the country's budding democracy.
