Had it been Igbos issued the quit on North, Buhari would have ordered mass killing – Igbo Group
The group said that for the Arewa youth leaders that tried to incite ethnic violence to still be working free in the country is enough reason that there is more to the quit notice.
National Secretary of the Organisation, Omon Ekpenyong, stated this on Friday, in Owerri, the Imo State capital, where he noted that the statement of the northern youths was not only treasonable, but capable of igniting ethnic war in the country.
He said, “My people I am greatly worried that up till this moment, nobody has been apprehended over the issue in the north with the Arewa youths, while if it were to be the Christian youths that gave the Hausa’s quit notice, which we are the right people to do so, because of the marginalisation and the killing of Christians in the north.
“When did Shettima Yerima and his collaborators become the Nigerian law enforcement agency? This is to show how marginalised the south is. This issue is related to beating a child and asking him not to cry which is the highest level of suppression. If I may ask, the northerners who come to the south and make little or no investment, don’t even pay house rent and have nothing to add to the region’s resource and well-being and the southerners who invest without any rethink. Who amongst them have the unity of the nation in mind? Asking Igbo to leave any region of Nigeria is baseless.
“As we are beckoning on the Federal Government and security operatives to protect our people, the Igbo should get ready to defend themselves in case there arise any attack from the Arewa youths.”
