Northern Coalition Sues NASS Over Const. Review, Demand Support For Biafra by ISLAMBAD: 6:54am On Jun 25, 2021
The Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) has dragged the National Assembly to court, asking that the ongoing constitutional review across the country be stopped with immediate effect.


The suit was filed by the leadership of the group, Nastura Ashir Shariff, Balarabe Rufa’i l, Abdul-Aziz Sulaiman and Aminu Adam joined against the defendants: Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami; Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; and the National Assembly, Daily Trust reports.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the coalition's spokesman, Abdul-Aziz Sulaiman, argued that instead of the ongoing constitutional review, the defendants should immediately provide a framework for the actualisation of agitators’ demand on self-determination.

The Coalition on June 11, had urged the National Assembly to suspend the constitution review to enable the Government to organise a referendum on the actualisation of a Biafra Republic.

It also urged the National Assembly to invoke the doctrine of necessity to organise a Biafra referendum as the final step towards the separation of the Igbo from the rest of Nigeria.

The group argued that the unrelenting disturbances created by certain interest groups in the South-East, in the form of the agitation for a separate State of Biafra, had turned violent.

It appealed to the government to invite the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU) and Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to initiate the process of self-determination that will mandate the Biafrans out of the Nigerian union by leveraging the several relevant international treaties and conventions to which Nigeria is a signatory

These people are after something. This is looking like a greek gift or something. Let's abolish to the current constitution, rewrite another that is fair to all regions of the country and see if all these agitations will not stop

Do hausa-fulani north think that as a Delta state man i will join them in their nigeria? Well, i wish them well in one rotten nigeria. My uncle died at the war front during the Biafran war, and many of my people massacred at Asaba by the nigerian troops. Long live to those who accept Biafra. I AM A BIAFRAN.

See these ones oh.



My dear Northern Coalition,
On behalf of the great Ndigbo, I wish to announce to you that "we ain't going no fụ́cking where" until we wake the indigenous Hausa people.
The wild fire of indigenous Nationalism that we are fanning must reach the Hausa people that you lanky desert people have subdued for centuries. Until they are awaken, we are going nowhere.
Yours Sincerely,
Igbo man

Good one, if they are sincere and not trying to distract us.

A referendum should be conducted like was done for the Scottish in Britain.

Equity and justice..

I don't know what agenda they have. If this is another taqiyya, e no go end well for them.

We need d referendum if it's genuine, and we need all members of our old eastern region to be given a fair opportunity to choose if they are going with biafra or not.
