A northern socio-political group, the Arewa Consultative Forum, has criticised Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over his recent comments that present cracks could lead to a break up of the country.


While the group admitted that there were unhealthy cracks in Nigeria, it, however, said the Vice-President should not make statements that would worsen tension in the country.

The ACF cautioned Osinbajo against comments capable of creating further tension in the land.

Osinbajo, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, at an interdenominational church service in Abuja on Sunday to mark Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary, said, “Our walls are not yet broken, but there are obvious cracks that could lead to a break, if not properly addressed.”

At the service, the SGF read Osinbajo’s speech.

The northern body acknowledged that the cracks in the country were unhealthy, but noted that the nation would overcome such.

In an interview with Punch, the National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Emmanuel Yawe while reacting to the Vice President’s comment, cautioned other Nigerian leaders, to “watch their words.”

The ACF’s spokesman, in an interview with The PUNCH, said, “The cracks are unhealthy, but we expect the Vice President to calm nerves and not make a pronouncement that will aggravate the situation.

“The ACF is hopeful that Nigeria will overcome its current travails as it did in the past and even overcame a fratricidal war to break up Nigeria. To do this, Nigerian leaders like Osinbanjo should watch their words.”

NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN. GOD BLESS US.

They don't like the truth arewa

Who touched the young lion by it tail again?

Abokki na abokki

These people just hate to hear the truth
Backward mofos

Not that they don't know that Fraudgeria is dying, rather they want it to be kept secret as usual while the gullible zombies are told that "Nigeria will soon be better".

I only blame all those "One Nigeria " singers

Sometimes I wonder if illiteracy also affect ones sense of vision. Who doesn't know about the current segregation in Nigeria, even a kid knows.
So the man shouldn't say things the way they are??
Northerners sha..

Kill people in their 1000s and Arewa is silent

Critize or threathen to leave Nija and they attack you

Its like human life is useless to Arewa

Ones the truth is been mentioned then they start feeling jittery.
Why are these people so interested in this so call "one Nigeria "?

See how dey are hell-bent on ds one Nigeria thing .. cause they know they are nothing without d South

Para.....sit£s!!

If biafra n Oduduwa manage to get der countries... They should make sure d number one law dey make is – ‘No Fulani allowed ever’

Cos d day one step in.... D cycle will continue... and history will repeat itself.

The northern body acknowledged that the cracks in the country were unhealthy, but noted that the nation would overcome such.

You have been patching the crack for 60 years...so how many more years do you need to overcome it.

Don't you see the crack is getting too wide?

How can a section of the country control all the arms of government and all the major economic sectors?

If the north were served in this manner by a southern president will ACF caution their leaders if they made similar proclamation?

Inclusiveness and equal respect for all citizens of a country breeds patriotism and love for the country.

You don't force people to be patriotic.

Lol, Nigeria is the only country the north has.if it breaks who will they dominate? Minority northern tribes that don't have natural resources?..
This country will remain until the resources are completely useless

Osinbanjo is as useless as a priest at the execution ground.

You see those nothern Christians that always doing eyes service I pity most.

Northern group threatening a whole VP of a nation.Mere talking of division or separation alone really unnerved them because its threatens their layhold to political power.

Meanwhile, all they have given this nation is poverty, stack illiteracy, child marriage, overpopulation, banditry, terrorism, religious intolerance.Parasitic leeches will never let go because of what they stand to loose.Hehehe! The fraud will collapse before their eyes.

Who touched the teenagers tiger by it tail again?

truth

.

Lol from the recent happenings, it has become an indisputable fact that Nigeria will break up.

Marriage is not by force.

There's no need to beg the south to stay.

Fear de everywhere

Nigeria we hate truth

Chai, imagine how they're reprimanding Osinbade as if he is their house boy. Well, they earlier called him a mere commissioner which is more or less the same.

The Northerners have zero regard for Osinbade which is very demeaning, even if they're treating him this way because of who he is and where he comes from, shouldn't they at least respect the office he occupies.

SMH.

Spoken like a true crack

Why would anybody from northern region of give any goon from southern region of Nigeria respect when the goons from southern Nigeria foolishly joined them in 1967 to precipitate a war of attrition on fellow southerners? You cannot eat your cake and have it.

ACF disagrees with him for saying the obvious truth, which is allowed in a democracy. But what can we say of ipob miscreants, Buba Galadima, Tanko Yakasai, FFK, Eyinaya Abaribe, always insulting Buhari?. If they couldn't regard where he's from, can't they regard his office?

kiss the truth!

Even though i am from arewa, i recall my days in the university as one of the Gamji's excos, we always talk about about how to ensure there is a strong bond between the 19 arewa states and the other state because Nigeria come first before anything even our matrons and patrons comprises of the eminences, governors etc always preach oneness whenever we pay them visit.
Nigeria come first before anything- this we must hold with high esteem.

The VP is courageous enough to say the truth that other leaders had refused to utter so therefore we must give him credit for that and face the reality and tackle our problems inside out

Who are the Arewas?
Bunch of cowardly political jobbers who were chased out of their village by bandits.
