The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has commended Southeast
leaders for disowning the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and its violent
agitation.
Southeast governors had distanced themselves from IPOB
agitation while insisting on Nigeria’s unity.
The governors and leaders of the region, in a communique
issued yesterday, said a united Nigeria will enhance justice, equality of
rights, fairness, love, and respect.
Reacting to the governors’ declaration, ACF spokesman,
Emmanuel Yawe, noted that Igbos are scattered across the country, hence the
need for unity.
He said: “It is like they are now rising to the challenge
because there is no part of this country where you will not find the Igbo man,
they are all over the country and they need the country.
“If they all go back to the southeast, where will they find
the space? So, they are many and their land is small, they need this country.
“Those who are advocating for separation, I don’t know
whether they know the geography of this country.
“If you drive all the Igbos to the South-East, there will be
a major crisis for them so I think the southeast governors have done a wise
thing by making this statement and we encourage them.”
