Northern Youth Gave Igbos Ultimatum To Leave North by ThatFairGuy: 6:08am On Jun 07, 2017 |
The order was contained in a statement issued
after a meeting in Kaduna state.
They asked the Igbo residing in the region to
“start making plans to leave.”
Their order was premised on the shut-down of
major towns in south-eastern part of the
country on May 30, by members of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its
sponsors.
The northern youths organisations, which had
their leaders in attendance, include Arewa
citizens action for change, Arewa youth
consultative forum, Arewa youth development
foundation, Arewa students forum and
Northern emancipation network on the Igbo
persistence for recession among others.
Abdulazeez Suleiman, one of the leaders, who
read the statement on behalf of others said
the region was “tired of the marriage”, hence
the need for restructuring.
He also said the region was calling for steps to
facilitate the final dissolution of this “hopeless
union” that has never been convenient to any
of the parties.
“The persistence for the actualisation of Biafra
by the unruly Igbo of south-eastern Nigeria has
lately assumed another alarming twist which
involved the forceful lockdown of activities and
denial of other people’s right to free
movement in the south-east by the rebel
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its
overt and covert sponsors,” the statement
read.
“This latest action and similar confrontational
conducts which amount to a brutal
encroachment on the rights of those termed as
non-indigenous people residing and doing
lawful businesses in those areas illegally
demarcated and defined as Biafra by the Igbo,
are downright unacceptable and shall no longer
be tolerated.
“As a first step, since the Igbo have clearly
abused the unreciprocated hospitality that gave
them unrestricted access to, and ownership of
landed property all over the north, our first
major move shall be to reclaim, assume and
assert sole ownership and control of these
landed resources currently owned, rented or in
any way enjoyed by the ingrate Igbo in any
part of northern Nigeria.
“Consequently, officials of the signatory groups
to this declaration, are already mandated to
commence immediate inventory of all
properties, spaces or activity in the north
currently occupied by the Igbo for forfeiture at
the expiration of the ultimatum contained in
this declaration.
“With the effective date of this declaration,
which is today, Tuesday, June 06, 2017, all
Igbos currently residing in any part of Northern
Nigeria are hereby served notice to relocate
within three months and all northerners
residing in the east are advised likewise.
“From that date, effective, peaceful and safe
mop-up of all the remnants of the stubborn
Igbo that neglect to heed this quit notice shall
commence to finally eject them from every part
of the north.
“And finally, all authorities, individuals or
groups are hereby advised against attempting
to undermine this declaration by insisting on
this union with the Igbo who have thus far
proved to be an unnecessary baggage carried
too far and for too long.”
