Northern Coalition accuses Yoruba leaders, Southern govts of sponsoring Kanu, arming Igboho

The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, has accused southern elites and governments of sponsoring Nnamdi Kanu and arming Sunday Igboho to perpetrate violence against the north and Northern interest in the south.

The Northern Coalition praised the arrest of both secessionist agitators urging the federal government to dig deeper to expose sponsors of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho.

The coalition warns that the arrest will not be the end of uprising and disturbances in southern Nigeria which it accused the Yoruba leaders including their governments as using to scare the North into agreeing to cede power without competition.

The Northern Coalition stated this in a statement on Tuesday signed by Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, spokesperson of the CNG.

Abdul-Azeez Suleiman said, “from the outset, we wish to be categoric that the arrest of Igboho and Kanu should not be mistaken as bringing about the end to the uprisings and disturbances over self-determination perpetrated by southern Nigerian elites and governments who use thugs like Igboho and Kanu.”

“We insist that rather than seeing the arrest as an end in itself, it should be the beginning of the processes for self-determination by any unit that wants to go. Therefore we insist on a peaceful referendum for separation from a people who would at the slightest of pretexts, attack, kill and destroy people of other regions and their properties especially those from the North.” He said.

The statement suggested Igboho would likely be charged with incitement against the North which the coalition claims are in tandem with international law. It noted that only the North has not called for secession from Nigeria at the slightest provocation.

“The arrest of Igboho is government business and so long as it conforms with the principle of rule of law and international criminal justice procedures. We are not yet sure what he is going to be charged with, but expectedly incitement to violence against northerners would be one of them.

We all know that threats of violent secession anywhere are a grave offence that no government will condone. From records of history, it is only northern Nigeria that has not called for the breakup of the country at the slightest of pretence.”

“With the arrest of Kanu and now Igboho, we are hoping that government would go beyond prosecution to digging up and exposing their sponsors and the agenda behind them.”

The Coalition claims that Kanu’s call for the Biafra nation has been exploited by the Eastern elites to play a double political game while noting that Igboho’s case is encouraged by Yoruba leaders to negotiate power from the North.

“While Kanu’s case may be attributed to some form of insanity which was exploited by the South East elites who were playing a double game, Igboho is a deliberate and calculated, supported and encouraged attempt by the Yoruba leaders including their governments to scare the North into agreeing to cede power without competition.” He said.

“Unfortunately they took it too far by arming Igboho and setting him against law-abiding citizens from other regions particularly the North.” He noted.

The coalition warns Kanu and Igboho supporters to avoid being instigated by those who it claimed to have what to fall back on when the country is on fire.

“The arrest if considered along with that of Kanu should serve as a lesson to those blind followers who are instigated into setting fire to their own backyards whereas the instigators of such lawlessness and violence almost all the time have a fallback option that includes escaping abroad.

The two arrests also attest to the level of cross-regional cooperation that is working across Africa,” The statement reads.

Herds of Cows!

And also sponsoring bandits and boko haram.

I trust Akeredolu the chairman of southern governors forum to hit back as e de hot. Imagine the audacity of this terrorists to hound and knock the southerners as if we are prisoners of war. Imagine if OBJ or Jonathan arrested Buhari back then when he vowed to spread sharia in the whole of Nigeria, when he infamously said that an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north. same way he arrested NK and Igboho that are fighting for southerners. Do southerners think the whole north will not rise with one voice to demand for his immediate release. Now is the time for southerners to speak with one voice. The terrorist infested north has bullied the south for long

Same people that are supporting paedophiles, religious jihadists and terrorists elements.These stupid CNG can't hold their central government to responsibility and accountability.All they are morbidly obsessed with is any measure taken by the south to protect and prevent itself from their menace.

Stupid fools who claim to be youths yet fail to see how tomorrow will play out.
Power will not last forever and if this generation remain fearful n too cold to demand justice and fairness, another generation will arise..it's just a matter of time.

We are done being at the receiving end of your frequent killings

H

I despise the fact that because of your mediocrity the south should be held spellbound. Sponsored or not a lot of us are so suffocated with your backward life. How is that so hard to understand?
We are southern Nigeria and never can we be Nothern even if some us though cowardly may share your orientation.

and so what?

An average northern leader reasons through the anus

Your chief Terrorist Buhari and his fellow Fulani Terrorists gave birth to Igboho and Kanu. So shut your hole. Igboho for example hasn't killed anyone nor kidnapped anyone.. Same can't be said for the Fulani Terrorists who are menace & murderers in the country yet none has been arrested or brought to book.

From boko haram to Fulani herdsmen and now to bandits, if you still think the north don't know what they are doing ,then you are in for a shoçker...I pity the southern I too know and over sabi people...e go shock all of us..

who are those arming boko haram and bandits in the north?

People that consider cows as higher being even than their own children. Iranu!

One need not to blame cows, but thiefunbu, who sold a cow to nigerians.

North vs South, South Vs North. It's a game that has played throughout 60 years of our existence as a country.
The Country as a whole is not serious one, when you see a serious country you would know.

There are those proffering solutions and there are those who want the "Status Quo". Like a cat and mice game thats never ends.
What's in the Status quo??
1. Chaos
2. Underdevelopment
3. Corruption
4. Cronyism
5. Nepotism
6. Tribalism
7. Elitism
8. Hooliganism
9. Cultism
10. Terrorism
11. Legitimising of the female Child bride
12. Illiteracy
13. Self-serving politicians
14. Power Mongers
15. Oppressors
16. Backwardness
17. Lawlessness
18. Ineffective Institutions

And on top of all these the citizens are still living....how do they do it

CNG = A herd of cattle / A horde of fools.

These northerners are truly truly not with us in the 21st century.

They are still stuck in the dark ages.
