The Chairman of Arewa Youth
Consultative Forum, ACF, Shettima Yerima on Thursday maintained that the quit
notice asking Igbos to vacate the North on October 1 stands.
Addressing reporters in Kano, the
ACF Chairman said Igbos who were willing to remain in the north were welcome
but that the order was sacrosanct.
According to Yerima, “We stand by
our notice to Igbo but those who are interested in Nigeria can stay. But for
those who are not interested, you can go.
“Our mission is for peace; the
unity of Nigeria is being threatened by the current agitation from the Igbo and
we want to make sure that those who are interested in Nigeria stay but those
who are not interested should go.
“The purpose of town hall meeting in Kano is
to review the early stand took and we are collecting views of people here from
the north-west. We will also move to north-central and north-east on whether to
maintain our position or reconsider it.
“We don’t have the right to force
the people to go. So, we are using peaceful means because don’t have police and
army.”
Recall that Yerima had on Tuesday
insisted that the October 1 quit notice asking Igbos residing in the
North to vacate the region stands.

ReplyDeleteArewa Youths, Nigeria doesn't belong to you, you are just part it. Why is it that Arewa Youths can't ask for Arewa Republic?
ReplyDeletePlease slaughter any Igbo man you see in the north after your ultimatum elapses
ReplyDeleteIt's you and your entire family that will be killed and rot in hell. Idiot.
DeleteSad real sad, that our potentially great country has come to this. We now promote tribalism and have elevated this nonsense to a very high level that it now threatens the very existence of our country! This madness must stop
