The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, has called on all
Northern communities in the south to come back home safely before considering
the next move.
The spokesman of CNG, Suleiman Abdul-Azeez, in a statement
linked the warning to herdsmen in the south-west to a grand
design to destabilize Nigeria and in particular bring the North to its knees.
The group warned that the alleged violence will be repaid
coin for coin.
It alleged that the enemies of the North have worked to
ensure that the region remains backward, divided, weak, confused and bewildered
by myriads of challenges and problems.
The statement added, “We certainly don’t consider it an
isolated incident but linked to a grand design to destabilize Nigeria and in
particular bring the North to its knees by targeting a major component of its
population, the Fulani and their livestock assets.”
“Today everyone can see a clear pattern drawn from the
strategies employed to achieve these results; namely the diminishing of the
Northern viability and in particular, bringing the Hausa/Fulani population down
by direct annihilation or political and economic incapacitation.”
The group claimed it was unfortunate that the conspiracy is
perpetrated in connivance with leaders from the North and accommodated by the
cowardice of those that present themselves as northern political leaders.
It noted that it was a situation that feeds on the
negligence and the lack of neutrality and fairness of the federal authorities.
The statement noted that Akeredolu and other Southern
leaders are only playing the script for a wider clandestine plot that has its
roots and pattern in history.
“We wonder how the Presidency and the National Assembly
would have reacted, were the North to make such against other tribes and people
that are non-indigenous but live and flourish in the North and actually carry
out the threat,” the statement observed.
“No matter through which lenses we look, therefore, we only
see in this fast-phased agenda a manifestation of a system that tends to deploy
a warped application of the law solely for the protection of a certain category
of citizens and endangering others.
“This manifestation of gross inequity is also one that
portends the danger of even more grave conflicts,” the statement explained.
