The Igbo socio-cultural group,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has said anyone who wants to kill Northerners in the
South-East should be ready to kill governors of the region first.
President-General of the
organisation, Chief John Nwodo, made the remark while commending the Sultan of
Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, over his recent statement saying “whoever wants
to attack the Igbo, should attack him first.’
Speaking when he led a delegation
of Ohanaeze on a visit to the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, Nwodo said
the visit was at the instance of the South-East governors and other
stakeholders from the South-East.
He said people of the South-East
and the country in general cannot afford another civil war.
Nwodo noted that though Nigeria
was passing through trying times, the unity that existed over the years should
be maintained.
Nwodo said, “Yes, our country is
going through a trying period. We should, under any circumstances, not
experience another civil war. We should not allow personal emotions to
undermine our national unity.
“In the same vein, I came with
the assurances of the South-East governors that any Igbo who wants to kill a
northerner, should first kill them.
“We must remain partners in
progress of our country, as we have seen how our own fathers and forefathers
live to make it grow and develop to its present stage.”
