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.”
