A group of Northern youths under the aegis of the Arewa Youth Development Foundation have called on non-Northerners residing in the Northern part of the country to relocate to their respective states within the next two weeks.
The group said that the decision was informed by the need to accommodate their northern brothers who
would be returning home from other parts of the country as a result of the unwarranted attacks against Northerners in other parts of the country.
A statement jointly signed by the group’s national president Barrister Aliyu M. Usman and its secretary, Comrade Alfred Solomon during a visit to the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sunusi II, regretted that the past four years of systematic policy of direct subjugation of the northern and its people have been meticulously pursued by the Federal Government and its agencies in collaboration with various governments of Southern Nigerian states.
The group described the crackdown on innocent northerners in the name of Boko Haram, the recent arrest of all Imams of Juma’at mosques in Abia state, the arrest of northern traders, the happenings at the pre-arranged national confab and the continued silence by the Federal Government among other issues as regrettable.
“In the event that all the resolution failed; we call on on all Northerners to rise and support agitations for a peaceful dissolution of this union called Nigeria for every region to go its own way,”
While addressing the youths, Muhammadu Sunusi called on the youths to be ambassadors of peace, and imbibe the culture of peaceful coexistence.
“We should not forget that it is natural for people of different minds and cultural background to live in one entity called a nation, I therefore urged you to imbibe the culture of peaceful coexistence,”
