The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has lauded
Governors in the South-West geopolitical zone for their quick intervention to
calm frayed nerves over a frivolous quit notice given to the Igbos in Lagos by
mischief-makers.
Following the outbreak of
violence in the wake of deaths of armless End SARS protesters at the Lekki toll
gate, some unnamed groups had warned Igbos living in the Southwest to vacate or
face dire consequences.
Ohanaeze, in a statement by its
spokesman, Chuks Ibegbu and issued to newsmen, on Monday, warned that such quit
notices were capable of causing the unravelling of the country, noting that
Ndigbo has never done same to other Nigerians in Igbo land.
The Igbo socio-cultural group,
called on President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to take such issue
seriously, positing that if such threats are not properly halted, it could pose
a great danger to the existence of Nigeria.
According to Ohanaeze, “we are
all joking with our existence as a nation, and unless we all believe that
Nigeria is a mere geographical expression.
“Nobody has a monopoly of issuing Quit
Notices. Ohanaeze advise agitators and their leaders not to inflame the country
with inciting utterances”.
The group reiterated its
condemnation on the shooting of defenceless End SARS protesters by security
personnel across the country
The apex organization, however,
called on Ndigbo within and outside Nigeria to learn the lessons of all the
quit notices and develop their homeland.
