Spokesperson of the Arewa Youths
Coalition, Suleiman Abdulazeez, has said the youths will meet the governors of
the 19 states in the North to withdraw the ownership of property belonging to
Igbos if they failed to leave the region by October 1.
In a face-to-face video interview
with Dickson Iruegbu of the Nigeria Right Now Project, Suleiman insisted that
the north does not believe in restructuring and that the Igbos must leave the
north.
He said if the Southeasterners
failed to vacate the region at the expiration of the quit notice, they will go
to their various state governments to withdraw the ownership of the property
they own in the region.
He said, “We gave the Igbos quit
notice because we want to have peace. You see, some people have insisted that
they are not Nigerians. And their brothers in other places supported the
impressions and supported that they are not Nigerians, but people of an
independent nation of Biafra, then we asked them to go.
“We did not say there’ll be
violence. But if by October 1 the Igbos in the North fail to pack their things
and go, we’ll go to the government, ask them evoke the properties. And went
that didn’t happen,we’ve done our best.
“I’m concoring to Nnamdi kanu’s
position that the Igbos are entitled to Biafra and so should quietly leave our
region. We are helping the Igbos achieve their aim.
“Igbos are not entitled to be
equal citizens with other Nigerians in Nigeria. No they’re not unless a
referendum is conducted and they say ‘yes we are Nigerians.”

The greatest dreamer of the northerners, we are waiting for u and ur property seizure
ReplyDeleteMichael, the man is saying the truth. You people said you're not Nigerians,then we say leave Nigeria and move to your country you said no!why must Nigerians treat you as Nigerians when you're Biafrans?
DeleteYes, if the Igbos leave there will be no nation called Nigeria because the Niger Deltas will also leave and be on their own. I don't know if the Oduduwas will wants to remain with the North... Seizure of Igbos' properties I pity you for beeing so stupid and idiotic to even think that way. The North will suffer greatly because all the Oil wells and other investments belonging to the Northerners in the South will all be revoked. This 70 years old youth I advice you to stop taking brukutu...
DeleteY must it b d northern pple that will tell d igbos to leave? Are they d only Nigeria? Or does 9ja belong to d north only?
ReplyDeleteSaying quit notice by mouth is the height of stupidity the 70yrs old youth of the north. What they should do if they are helping the igbos is to use their majority in the Senate to ensure referendum is conducted as requested by igbos. If the igbos did not get the required vote to nab biafra the matter will rest. Simple. And if they get biafra. U dont have to seize their properties. U can impose heavy tax on their properties there by forcing them to either sale or pay the pay the tax. I blame the governors of the east for not collaborating as a region to encourage igbos to invest at home. But the north cannot do with out the igbos. I can say that boldly. CJ
ReplyDeleteI 'm an indigene of the north, but I don't know this group. But anyway, peace first.
ReplyDeleteIf u withdraw the ownership pls remember to pay them the current value of the property. Lol
