Fresh facts and reactions about who is stoking the flames of the impending civil war declared on Igbo to leave the north are beginning to emerge.
President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused of being behind the order and ultimatum by his actions and inaction for Igbo to leave the north within ninety calendar days.
This was disclosed by the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chief Okey Nwosu who saw the ultimatum as a direct threat to the unity of the country.
He said, “When some elders led by President Buhari were doing certain things, some of us cautioned. Let the APC and Buhari deal with what they have caused, “ he stated
Reacting to the ultimatum, the Spokesperson for the Yoruba socio-political group Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, criticised the order and ultimatum.
He called on northern elders to called their people to other while calling attention to the fact that the Yoruba nation will not be coerced via
coalition to fight the Igbo.
coalition to fight the Igbo.
“Carrying out their threats would be a prelude to another pogrom. These elements have over the years showed their propensity to attack people, but like the Chinua Achebe said, they are holding a knife to the tiny rope that still holds the country together. I hope that if they still have elders, their elders should call them to order, otherwise, it may be the beginning of the end of Nigeria, as we know it.
“They should know that in 1967, they had a coalition to fight the Igbo but that coalition is no more there today. We know the people that fought the last war and won it. I can boldly speak for the Yoruba nation, that if the north thinks they can declare another war against the Igbo, it would not work. If they see any Yoruba man joining them to fight the Igbo, then that person must be a mercenary.
“The Igbo were not fighting, neither were they causing any crisis, but were just trying to make their grievances known in a peaceful manner. Why should they be threatened? For northerners to tell them to leave the north is sad for the polity.”
