Recall that the Acting President had on Tuesday while meeting with the Northern Elders including the Arewa Consultative Forum, vowed that the Federal Government would deal with any person or group that threaten the peace of the country through hate speeches.
The Federal Government has also explained that the series of interactions lined up with the relevant stakeholders in the Nigeria project that started on Tuesday, will be rounded off on 22nd June.
Briefing journalists after the Federal Executive Council, FEC, presided over by the Acting President, Prof. Osinbajo, the Minister of Information; Alhaji Lai Mohammed said that the Acting President will be addressing traditional rulers and leaders of thought from the South East on Friday.
He explained that the idea behind the consultative meeting was not just to assure that the administration was doing something about the quit notice to the Igbos to vacate the North before 1st October, but that the situation was under control.
According to the minister, “On the 22nd of June there will be a joint consultative meeting of all the groups, that is the traditional rulers, religious leaders and leaders of thought from both the south eastern part of Nigeria and the northern part of Nigeria,” he said.
“The call for people from certain parts of the country to relocate to their region is generally very disquieting voices.
“We just want to assure Nigerians that the federal government is on top of the matter. ….Yesterday (Tuesday), the Acting President addressed leaders from the northern part of the country. At 4 p.m today (Wednesday) he is going to address leaders from the South Eastern part of the country.
“The idea is not just to assure Nigerians that we are doing something about it but also to give comfort to all Nigerians that this matter is completely under control. To assure Nigerians that any Nigerian anywhere is save, the security authorities are completely on top of the matter and that they will deal decisively with any group of people whose conduct that is believed is going to create instability in the country.
“So there is no need for anybody to panic, there is no need for anybody to move from any part of the country. The security agencies are on top of the matter and there is no reason for anybody to panic.”
Also briefing journalists, the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun said that she presented a memo that was approved by the FEC to sign a multilateral convention for the implementation of tax treaty related matters.
She said, “I presented a memo which was approved by council today and permission was granted to sign a multilateral convention to implement tax treaty related matters to prevent us prevent base erosion and profit shifting.
“In simple language, this administration is very focused on revenue generation and mobilisation and part of that work is to improve our tax collection. One of the means by which major companies evade is a
practice called base erosion and profit shifting which means that the profit that was made in Nigeria using accounting methods shift it to a country that has little or no tax.

Of course there's no reason for them to panic. I wonder why they were shaking and running

Arewa youths were only poking fun at them the way a master pokes fun at his servants

Thanks for stepping in like a big bro Prof Osinbajo

We are brave and our braveness is shaking the foundations of the zoo with great force. I bet you that they ( Hausa/fulani) are more afraid of their ultimatum than Igbos. What made them give ultimatum ? I tell you that ultimatum was out of fear and frustration.



Please tell us you are the one shaking on that ultimatum and not trying to pass your coward nature to others.

Which useless bravery? The one that made all Igbo leaders take turns in going to beg Northern leaders?

Nwanne, less than a dozen Northern youths gave an ultimatum and the entire Igboland is in disarray. Imagine going to beg Al Mustapha, Ango Abdullahi and others. No singe Northern leader has apologized, ye our elders have turned the north to Mecca where they go and prostrate to their leaders.

Let us not fool ourselves, they got us by the balls this time. In trying to dribble others, we have dribbled ourselves.

When the Igbo sneeze, the whole nation gets the flu.

Whatever makes u feel good. Uwazuruike is a nobody in Igbo affairs.they got you and your non Igbo ethnic group by the balls not Igbos. Wait for the elections to come as more packages are in stock for you guys. You will then know that Igbos have taken their resolve on Nigeria. No amount of threat can break that. We've been telling our brothers to relocate b4 this ultimatum, so you should know it is no surprise to us.

Which elections are you taking of? The ones our people agreed to boycott or the one they're already crying for Nigeria's Presidency?

We need to give ourselves brain before we finally ruin ourselves.

Don't rewrite history dude.
Ibos had not only been sneezing but also coughing like a sick goat for over 2 years. Osinbajo and ibo elders only intervened to prevent the annihilation of your type in the north.

Any harm to the Igbo in the North would lead to the disintegration of this cessapit

The landlocked North has more to lose than the Igbo.

They would resemble Chad or Niger if Nigeria disintegrates

The SE is also landlocked since the SS rejected you people like lepers.

Even if we are to believe this even though this is not true

Sea levels are rising and the sea is coming to us. So don't worry about a landlocked Igboland.

We will be alright

Umu-Igbo now u should panic.

Never trust a word from Afonja.
