In Nigerian cyberspace, the term voltron would refer to social media bodyguards who offer their services unsolicited to celebrities by confronting known ‘enemies’ with a few strokes of a QWERTY keyboard.

These guys fit the bill, and they came to the aid of a ‘celebrity’ who so badly needed one.

Youths affiliated to the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) on Friday rose in defence of the party’s national leader, General Muhammadu Buhari, following remarks credited to a certain Jubrin Mamman Vatsa, where he allegedly cast aspersions on Buhari.

Speaking under the cap of the National Campus Mobilisers and Youth leaders of the CPC, the youths called on the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) to call Vatsa to order.

Vatsa, son of a former Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, the late Maj.Gen. Mamman Vatsa and the National Coordinator of Concerned Arewa Youth Forum (CAYF), had attacked the former Nigerian leader over his recent comment that the government was killing Boko Haram members while pampering Niger Delta militants.

The group in the past has backed the President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, who recently called for the arrest of Buhari for allegedly being a sponsor of Boko Haram.

In a statement issued in Ilorin, Kwara State, the CPC youth wing said it was unfortunate that the late minister’s son offered himself “as a willing tool in the hands of those that have held this country down for decades”.

The statement signed by national coordinator, Alabi Abdulkareem and national secretary, Miss Grace David-Borha reads in part,  “We are constrained to ask; how much was he paid by the Presidency to carry out this hatchet job? What is Jubrin’s relationship with Pastor Oritsejafor to warrant the support of unreasonable and highly distasteful utterances?”
