President of Arewa Youths
Consultative Forum, Yerimma Shettima, has disclosed that the body might review
its October 1 quit notice asking Igbos resident in the North to vacate the
region.
Shettima, while featuring on
Channels television, said the decision to review the ultimatum is in the
interest of peace and unity of the country.
He said the actions of some
notable Igbo leaders since the quit notice was issued have shown that the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, does not speak for the entire people of the
South East.
According to Shettima, “After the
June Kaduna declaration, a lot had happened. The silence on the part of the
south east governors actually prompted a lot of things that gave birth to the
June declaration.
“Having seen a lot of things going on as
regards to governors having meetings to dissociate themselves from that IPOB,
believing in Nigeria; and actions by organisations such as the Ohanaeze and the
Ohanaeze Youth Council and other prominent Nigerians from that same axis, gave
us reasons to begin to think of reviewing our positions.
“But then, officially, we have
not sat down to conclude plans on reviewing the position of things. I hope very
soon, we will sit down and also review the situation that will make our
position very clear on our position on what we felt about the whole thing.
“To those who believe in Nigeria,
they should remain calm, there is no problem but to those who felt they want a
republic of their own please they should not drag the north into that mess
because we strongly believe in Nigeria.
“They should go back to their
area since they believe they want to go out of Nigeria and they want to form a
republic of their own. They cannot build another nation in the midst of a
nation that exists.”
No need talking too much, you are simply an idiot..who has succeeded in heating up the polity.. Now the south easterners are using your ultimatum as a point and to their advantage..You have given them an edge then let them go.
