Sunday Igboho: Arewa Youths Give Yorubas 3 Days To Leave North

Following declaration of Yoruba secession From Nigeria by Sunday Adeyemo, a Yoruba activist and separatist popular known as Sunday Igboho, the Arewa youth assembly has given Yoruba living in the North 72 hours to leave the region.

In statement issued by its speaker, Mohammed Salihu Danlami, on Thursday,  the group said it would be compelled to take necessary actions if Igboho does not get Yorubas out of the region upon the expiration of the ultimatum.

Ekohotblog reports that the youths stated that the unity of Nigeria is nonnegotiable and called on all stakeholders in the country to stand up and quench the smouldering embers of impending anarchy in the country.

The statement read in part, “We are hereby giving him the ultimatum of 72 hours to move his people out or we will be forced to take necessary actions by personally taking the responsibility of getting his people back home.”

“One Mr. Sunday Igboho issued a press statement in which he was quoted as saying enough is enough that the time for Yoruba nation is now, they will no longer accommodate and accept the presence of Northerners.”

The assembly averred that the constitution is clear on freedom of movement, adding that Nigeria constitution allows Nigerians, regardless of their religion or tribe, to live in any part of the country.

The Arewa Youth said that it still affirms its position as a law-abiding civil youth organization, that notwithstanding, it would not fold its arm and watch innocent Nigerians being threatened by individuals who clearly have no regard and respect for the law like Mr. Sunday Igboho.

According to the group, “Since it is Igboho who wants his people out of the North to form a Yoruba nation, we will make it easy for him by asking Mr. Igboho to provide a means of transportation to convey his people to the southwest.”

It noted that Igboho has continuously threatened the lives and property of northerners residing in the southwest for no reason, adding, “we have kept quiet for the sake of peace and for respect of the laws of our country, but as Mr. Igboho rightly said, enough is enough.”

The group called on the northern elders, traditional rulers and all security agencies to support them in achieving their objectives of evacuating the Yorubas out of the 19 northern states and the FCT Abuja by making it a very peaceful exercise devoid of lost of lives and destruction of properties or hijack by hoodlums to prevent the re-occurrence of the End-SARS protest.
