“The meeting, which is the third since July was at the instance of some Northern Governors who mandated Shettima to engage the coalition with a view to preventing possible outbreak of violence in the event hoodlums take advantage of quit notice to perpetuate violence by the time the ultimatum expires on October 1”.

“The meeting ended on positive note while the Arewa coalition is expected to meet members of the AbdulSalami Abubakar led National Peace Committee who invited them for a meeting” Gusau added.

Shettimaa and the elders also spoke extensively on serious problems bedevilling the northern Nigeria especially those concerning Boko Haram insurgency, backwardness in education resulting for high level of out of school children roaming as Almajiri.

That one is their cup of tea,they should go to hell!

Nnamdi should go and beg

He caused all this thrash

Shetima said he's got the support of northern elders,meaning the quit notice is now very popular among the average hausa/fulani. Nnamdi kanu on the other hand has no backing of his tribe's political leaders and elites. Also, super power countries like u.k and u.s have reiterated severally they are not in support of Nigeria's breakup.... N.kanu is aware of this but not ready to backdown. Somebody should enlighten me how another bloodshed/ genocide can be averted with every body flexing muscle all over the place. Lest i forget, ipob said its not afraid of war despite having no weapons of war.
