THE Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has called on the Federal Government to extend its arrest order to Prof. Ango Abdullahi, spokesman of the NEF.

The group, which addressed a world press in Kaduna at wee hours of Saturday noted that, should there be any crisis as a result of uncivil declaration by some reckless youths who failed to weigh the implications of such sensitive matter on the economic and socio-political consequences, Ango Abdullahi and his family would leave the country, leaving innocent people to pay with their blood.

President of NYCN, Isah Abubakar said the Kaduna Declaration’ was never in any way represent the collective voice or decision of any legitimate coalition of youth groups from the region as the council remains the apex youth organisation that has the right to announce any resolution of youths from the region.

The group, which plainly dissociated itself from the declaration said Nigeria remain one indivisible entity reiterating that, any Nigerian citizen, has the right to live and own property anywhere he or she chooses to reside without fear from other fellow citizens.

Isah, who expressed worry that when the country is working very hard to retrace its step to good governance, some were busy trying to frustrate that effort by well meaning Nigeria especially, President Mohammadu Buhari and his Vice Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

According to him, “we are surprise with statement credited to our renowned elder and academic, Professor Ango Abdullahi supporting the uncivil and illegal declaration that Igbos should vacate the North.

“NYCN want to use this medium to dissociate itself from anti-Nigeria agenda for selfish reason. We are not happy with the development in all its ramifications.



“We are calling on federal government to extend its arrest order to Professor Ango Abdullahi and other people who must have sponsored the perpetrators of such a huge inciting statement capable of throng the country into another civil unrest while the country is yet to fully recovered from the previous one several decades after”.
