Arewa youths blast Nnamdi Kanu

President of Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, Alhaji Shettima Yerima has described leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu as a ‘noise maker’ for rejecting the withdrawal of quit notice earlier issued on Igbos residing in northern Nigeria.

He called on the relevant authorities to deal with anybody who violates the suspension of the quit notice to the Igbos residing in the northern parts of the country.

Kanu and his pro-Biafra group had rejected the withdrawal of the quit notice, describing it as “inconsequential.”

Yerima told Daily Sun that the quit order belonged to the past as the objective had been achieved by Arewa youths.

His words, “Did I do it for him or in the interest of the country? His rejection of the suspension of the quit notice is not important to me. What we did was to demonstrate that we have a culture. We give respect to our elders and it was to ensure that the country remains together. The country is above anybody.

“On that basis, his acceptance or not is not important but I know that he also is not speaking for the Igbo. It is a minority view of few people making all sorts of noise. It is not really important to me and I do not want to join issues with them. Nigeria is above everybody and I stand on the path of one united country. We have to build a nation that we can call our own.”

On his greatest fear about Nigeria, the Arewa youth leader said, “My greatest fear is to wake up one morning and find out that there is no country called Nigeria. That was why we took steps toward the right direction; we are ready to make sacrifice so that Nigeria remains together.

“I am sure that our founding fathers who fought tooth and nail to sustain the unity of the country, wherever they are even in their graves, they would not be comfortable. They would be saying that this is not what they bargained for the country. So, we are going to ensure that the unity of the country they fought for is being sustained.”

  4. Your founding fathers did not want one Nigeria until they started getting favoured by the British and when they looted the oil blocks they fell in love with one Nigeria. Hateful.

  5. Enter your comment...Your founding fathers must have realized by now that they made a fatal mistake. After all Abubakar and Sarduanar did not agree until Zik persuaded them to agree.
