The Borno State Progressive Association (BOSPA) has on Saturday called on Igbo communities, particularly those residing in the state to come out and condemn the unlawful agitation for the creation of Sovereign State of Biafra by Nnamdi Kanu.

This is even as BOSPA strongly condemned the quit notice issued to Igbos living in Northern Nigeria by Coalition of Arewa Youths, insisting that the association is fully committed to one Nigeria and therefore disassociated itself from the ‘Quit Notice’.

This was disclosed by the Chairman of BOSPA, Ashiekh Mamman Gadai at a meeting with members of Igbo community and Igbo Welfare Association in Maiduguri, the state capital.

During the meeting which was attended by President General of Igbo Community in the state, Chief Maclaw Nwaogu, state Commissioners including that of Local Government and Emirate Affairs, Usman Zanna and Attorney General of the State, Barister Kaka Shehu Lawan, BOSPA Chairman said, the association while expressing its appreciation to governor Kashim Shettima, who in his capacity as Chairman of Northern Governors Forum was among the first to condemned the quit notice by Coalition of Arewa Youths and the foster of unity displayed by Igbo Community in the state.



He, however, said; ” We have been living peacefully with our Igbo brothers in the state and the country as a whole, and i want to call on the Igbos residing in the state to come out and totally condemn agitation for creation of Biafra by Nnamdi Kanu.

“As BOSPA, we recognize the importance of Igbos in moving our state forward, and we wish to assure Igbo Community in the state that their safety is guaranteed”. Gadai stated.

Responding, the President General of Igbo community, Chief Nwaogu thanked BOSPA for initiating the meeting on the quit notice issued by Kanu which had generated public concern all over the country.

He said, Igbos in the state have been living peacefully with one another in Borno since time immemorial, and commended governor Shettima for his effort in assisting Igbo community in the state, stressing that, none of his member will move an inch out of Borno, as Igbos will continue to contribute their own quota in moving the state forward.

In his address, governor Shettima who was represented by Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General of the state, Barister Kaka Shehu Lawal, assured Igbo communities and other people of the state of fair treatment in the discharge of his duties.

He noted that anything that would cause disunity among the people of the state which had already suffered from the hands of insurgents is highly intolerable and regretted.
