A youth
group under the aegis of Katsina
State Progressive Youth Alliance Saturday met and declared
its support for quit notice given by some Northern youth groups to the Igbo’s
to leave the region by October 1st.
The youth
declaration of support for the quit notice is coming after the Emir of
Katsina, Alhaji
Abdulmumini Kabir Usman pulled his weight behind the Igbos
in the state, saying they were always welcome to stay.
Secretary of the
group, Abdullahi Muhammed however,
disagreed with the Emir.
According to him,
“Nnamdi Kanu operated a radio station in 2015 agitating for Biafra. He demanded
in different parts of the world that they want Biafra.
“Kanu gradually
continued and he was saying boldly and threatening that if they were not given
Biafra, Somalia will be a peaceful land compare to Nigeria. I believe so many
people read about what happened in Somalia, nobody wants history to repeat
itself in Nigeria. We are still in that menace of Boko Haram, Kidnapping and so
on. We don’t want anything in regard to Somalia. So, let the Igbo’s go.
“Kanu ordered a sit
at home whereby almost 70% of Igbo people complied which implies they are in
support of Kanu. He was given a bail condition and unfortunately violated the
bail conditions. No religious leader, community leader or any leader who
disassociated themselves from him. It was after the Kaduna declaration that the
Ohaneze, Ndigbo and others begin to disassociate themselves from Kanu and his
activities. How sure or convincing are we that they truly disassociated
themselves from his activities or only a lip service to the media. Because he
is still agitating for Biafra and we said if the leaders are not saying they
are not interested, we want peace to reign in this country and northern
Nigeria.
“We are not part of
the umbrella body of Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG’s but we are in support
and ardent lovers of the Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG’s stand on Igbo quit
notice,” Muhammed said.
