The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has launched an
attack against Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Yerima Shettima, National President of AYCF, described Kanu
as an evil agent pushing to destabilize Nigeria.
In an interview with Dailypost, Shettima stressed that Kanu
was being sponsored to destabilize Nigeria.
He called on the Federal Government to ensure that the IPOB
leader is repatriated back to Nigeria “to face the music” of his actions.
Shettima also urged the Federal Government to listen to
those genuinely agitating for both Biafra and Oduduwa Republic.
According to the AYCF National President: “The agitation for
Biafra and Oduduwa Republic can permanently be sealed off when there is the
spirit of justice to all and commitment on the part of the government to ensure
that everybody is brought on board to resolve issues amicably.
“Though some are not genuine in their agitations, some are
doing it for their selfish interest, while some are being sponsored.
“But those who are genuinely agitating, the government must
give them a listening ear to resolve this issue amicably.
“I do not think any of them want to walk out of the country,
apart from the evil one that is the so-called IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. We
should not be surprised if he behaves funny; we know that certain forces are
working with him to destabilize the country; he is an agent of destabilization.
I will not want to encourage anyone to give him a listening ear.
“But the rest, to an extent, are genuine and the government
should listen to them, ask why they are agitating. There is probably certain
perceived injustice on their side, so they chose to agitate to draw the
government’s attention.
“And to those who are just being evil-minded like an IPOB
leader, the government should do the need and ensure that he is brought back to
the country to face the music.”
The AYCF National President also commented on the
possibility of secession with bloodshed.
He said: “I don’t want to imagine that we will get to that,
but certainly, it will not sound well for the country. I do not think they also
want to go that far but that somebody is making noise does not mean that is
what will happen.
“I, however, worry because some of them go out of their way
to instigate violence, and I don’t like it. In recent times, a lot of things
have happened in the agitation for Oduduwa Republic that some of us do not find
funny.
“Somebody assumes to himself and starts dealing with people,
even going as far as to maim and kill people from Northern extraction, all in
the name of agitation. Some of us were watching not because we are cowards but
we chose the peace part so that men of honour and those committed to project
Nigeria, the government can intervene in the matter.”
