Confusion For Igbos Living In The North

Northern youths after having a meeting comprising of youths from all northern states tagged: ” Kaduna Declaration” have given a five-month ultimatum to the Igbos in the North. This ultimatum will expire on the 1st of October, 2017.
According to the youth group, the decision was their reaction to the shutting down of major towns in the South East on May 30, 2017, by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in pursuit of their agitation for the Re­public of Biafra.
Represented by their lead­ers at the meeting was Arewa Citizens Action for Change, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Arewa Youth Devel­opment Foundation, Arewa Students Forum and North­ern Emancipation Network on The Igbo Persistence for Recession among others who vowed that never again will they fold their hands, adding that a time has come for them to take their des­tiny in their hands.
In a statement read by Mallam Abdulazeez Sulei­man on behalf of others yesterday, the aggrieved youths said, “the region is tired of the marriage hence the need for restructuring as pronounced by many no­table Nigerian leaders like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Senator She­hu Sani among others.
“The persistence for the actualization of Biafra by the unruly Igbo of South-Eastern Nigeria has lately assumed another alarming twist which involved the forceful lockdown of activi­ties and denial of other peo­ple’s right to free movement in the South-East by the rebel Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its overt and covert sponsors.
“This latest action and similar confrontational conducts which amount to a brutal encroachment on the rights of those termed as non-indigenous people residing and doing lawful businesses in those areas il­legally demarcated and de­fined as Biafra by the Igbo, are downright unacceptable and shall no longer be toler­ated.
