The Coalition of
Northern Groups, CNG, has cautioned Gani Adams, the Aare Onakakanfo of
Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams, against attacking and killing Northerners in the
South-West
The CNG said the warning became necessary following Gani
Adams’ recent comments alleging that the killing of over 50 people in Igangan
town, Ibarapa in Oke-Ogun Area of Oyo State was a declaration of war on the
Yoruba by the North.
The CNG gave the warning in a statement by its Spokesperson,
Abdul-Azeez Suleiman.
The group claimed it found it ridiculous that the Yoruba leader, who holds a high position in South West has been unable to overcome his former militant tendencies to conform to the rules of decency required by his title.
“Any attack against Northerners in any part of the South for
the only reason that they are Northerners living as minorities in other
communities would not be acceptable,” the group said.
“We find it outrageous for Adams to so readily attribute the
attacks to the North whereas the actual attackers have not yet been officially
identified.
“For Adams to just jump to such a conclusion that the
attacks were carried out by the North and even call it a declaration of war
speaks volumes of the mindset of the typical Southerner against the entire
Northern region”, the CNG stated.
CNG said it was also surprising that Adams is quick to beat
drums of war against the North while he was the same leader of the Oodua
Peoples Congress that allegedly cheered recent attacks and killings of
non-Yoruba residents of the same Igangan by Yoruba gangs under activist Sunday
Ighoho.
