CHAIRMAN of the Board of
Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Senator
Walid Jibrin, has described as a
joke, the recent quit notice
issued by some northern group to Igbos leaving in the north as
well as the counter threat given
by some militants in the south
south.

In a statement made available
to the media in Abuja on
Tuesday, he said the threats
must nipped in the bud.

He also cited the call by Benue
youth for the Fulanis to quit
their land as another worrying
development that must not be
allowed to stand.

He observed that no true
Northerner would not support
the quit notice issued to the
Igbos in the north.

Jibrin revealed that Fulani elders
and concerned groups had met
and a delegation under his
chairmanship would be visiting
all parts of the country to
reconcile the Fulani herdsmen, farmers and various
communities.

While warning against hate
speeches, Walid said: “I want
to advise all against hate
speeches. Instead, we should
find ways and means for unity
and peace and allow us have permanent places where ever
we are in Nigeria.

“To continue to call for Igbos
in the north to quit is enough
joke which must stop
immediately.

“Another call from militants in
the south-south that
Northerners and Yoruba’s
should leave must stop.

“The recent call by Benue
youth that the Fulani herdsmen
living in Benue must leave
should stop because recently the
Fulani elders and concerned
groups have met and a delegation under my chairmanship is to visit all parts of the country to reconcile between Fulani herdsmen, farmers and various
communities. We have started with Taraba.

“A true Northerner does not at
all support Igbos to leave the
North.

“We must be allowed to live
freely in any part of Nigeria.
Many concerned Northerners
have a movement called ‘The
Protection of Igbos in North’,
under my chairmanship from North to Western Region and vis
versa.”
