The Arewa Youths Coalition has said it would withdraw the quit order it gave to Ndigbo to vacate all northern states before October 1st. The northern group’s spokesperson, Abdulaziz Suleiman, said they would withdraw the statement this week.
The group waved the olive branch to Ndigbo after it had a meeting with the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima in Abuja on Sunday. Governor shettima who confirmed the development however warned that the Arewa Youths group should not be criminalized as such would be counter-productive.

Moreover, according to Suleiman, “What we can say is that there has been a major development. Now the chairman of the Governors’ Forum has taken the initiative and invited us to start negotiations. This is the first time we are meeting publicly with any leader and we believe that it is a major step forward in our ongoing consultations. “We hold the governor in high esteem and we have the unity of the country at heart”.

“You see, I wonder why you talk about quit notice. We only issued a Kaduna declaration, quit notice is just a part of it. Let us do the recounting of the successes of our declarations first. We are sill going on with our consultations”. Confirming Arewa Youths’ decision to withdraw the order, Governor Shettima said, “We met with the leadership of the coalition of Northern Groups in my capacity as the chairman of the Northern Governors Froum.

“We had very fruitful discussion with them and they have shown a lot of courtesy and respect for the establishment. This is the first time that they are sitting down with the leadership of the forum. “They were having interactions with His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto. I started conversations with them right from Kaduna yesterday and we continued the discussion today and by the grace of God, it is going to yield fruits.

“We are trying to have understanding of the challenges confronting us as a people and solutions to those challenges. I have to commend them for honouring our invitation because a political problem needs a political solution”. Shettima cautioned against criminalising the group, adding that harassing and intimidating them would not bring solution to the nation’s challenges. “They have agreed to revisit their decision and we will follow it up to its logical conclusion and I believe that in the next couple of days, we are going to get the good news from them.

“I don’t want to preempt them by saying that this is what will happen or not. But definitely, they have shown responsibility and commitment to the national cause and they have wider plans to promote the cause of national unity and cohesion. “It was a very open, free and frank discussion, we heard their reservations and I gave them my reasons and believe me, by the time they hold their meeting this week, I think Nigerians will heave a sigh of relief.

“I wish to call on the leadership of our brethren in the South Eastern part of the country to equally pick the gauntlet, because it takes two to tango, to take the gauntlet and rein in the excesses of Nnamdi Kanu and his group”.

Amazing withdrawal

- IPOB can now proceed with their campaign

omenka:
Good news. Bloodshed is what I don't desire to see in this whole nonsense.

Everyone should observe some restraint in their utterances. If anyone wants to leave the union, they should do so quietly, orderly, and use the proper channels.

God bless Nigeria.

If the igbos honestly want Biafra. They should forthwith relocate to the east, within Biafran territory! If you are so angry with Nigeria and would no longer be a part of it, show some mettle, LEAVE! OR HENCEFORTH BE QUIET. If you are outside biafran territory and you are typing outrageously harsh, ridiculous, stuff about a country you are glued to like a parasitic tick something is definitely wrong with you. I see igbos in the most remote parts of the north earning a living. Igbos aren't stupid, they didn't leave juicy opportunities in the east to travel 12 horrendous hours from home. They know the truth deep within; IT'S A HARD LIFE IN THE EAST.
The east is also yet to distinguish itself as an outlier, a place where justice and equal opportunities are available. Many Igbos searched for jobs for years in the east and lived in penury. Only when they left did they stabilise. If Biafra is created, will we import new, just and kind igbos from elsewhere?
Many times after a riot in the north, thousands of igbos are killed. In the heat of the moment, they all relocate to the east, however none of them would last 2 months in the east. Go to kano and see, the threat to their lives in the north is better embraced than the prospects of earning livelihood in the east.
Don't tell me about UN conventions protecting foreigners in another country. How well did the conventions help during the xenophobic attacks in south Africa? Till date no compensations. Igbos really need to think this true, no rush into secession like in 1967. Biafra currently has no allies, only evil countries quietly waiting to suck the east if war begins. None of this countries have made credible official statements about the struggle as they did for palestine, south sudan and others. Igbos aren't ready for Biafra. Just rushing without calculated thoughts.
If you are part of the middle belt or south west insulting ipob doesn't in anyway serve your interest. I'll rather you be introspective. Which move in this power tussle would help you get a better deal from Nigeria? Are you oppressed in anyway? Who is the oppressor? Who invades your farms, rapes your women? Who has unleashed genocidal attacks on your communities in Agatu, Barkin Ladi, Nassarawa eggon e.t.c. I do not ask you to embrace or be part of Biafra, just apply wisdom. Don't make the mistakes of 1967. Igbos are not your real enemies! Shine your eyes!
Finally I've said my mind after months of holding in.

ESDKING:
Who doesn't know that those iddiots issued quit notice with the intention of silencing the Ipob agitation.

Now they have been disappointed seeing that Ipob agitation is getting stronger day by day, they have no alternative than to cowardly withdraw their stvpid statement.

Is like I will start placing afonjja cowards before @bokiss cowards.

yemmight:
Fake notice. Your governors know if Ibos leave North, them go suffer wella.

TheFreeOne:
Northern elders have finally realized their foolishness and borrowed some brains.


Awon ole, oponu parasitic gangs.

NobleAngell:
Who are the parasites? The ones in their own land or the settlers? Or you don't know what parasitism is. Don't showcase your ignorance pls.

Asking such question confirmed your daftness so I'll generously cure your ignorance.

The parasites are those with longthroat for oil and wouldn't want just society where other regions should develop at their own pace. The are only interested in an ironclad one Nigeria where they'll continue to hold down everyone with their backwardness and greed.

Every Nigerian has the right to live and do business in any part of the country and its legal within the ambit of law.
