THE President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, South- West and Ekiti State, Chief Uzomah has expressed disappointment at the ominous silence of eminent Nigerian leaders to comment on the eviction notice served the Igbos by the Arewa Youths and the subsequent support of the Northern elders.
He expressed this disappointment while speaking to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital. Condemning the what he described as ominous silence, he took a swipe at Nigeria's former leaders like former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
Speaking further on the implication of the eviction order he reminded the northerners of the huge business investment to the tune of trillions of naira the Igbos had already put in the north and which is generating huge returns and contributing immensely to the region’s socio-economic development, the north would lose more if the Igbos quit.
He added, “The quit notice served on the Igbos by the Arewa youths and ratified by some northern elders later, calls for concern from every patriotic Nigerian. I am for the unity of Nigerians, but I am highly disappointed by the development. I will say that they have gone too far with such action.
” What is most annoying is that the government of the day is keeping quiet over the matter.
''We believe that the government of the day ought to have done something about calling the parties involved and look for a lasting solution to the crisis on ground. They are not supposed to keep quiet.We expected eminent Nigerians whose views are weighty and influential to have started speaking up.
“We expected them to have started saying things that would show that Nigeria is one and that would bring peace. We expect the Presidency, especially the acting president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, to have said something.
''In the South-West here, since we are brothers, we expect eminent Nigerians like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Senator Bola Tinubu. And in the north, eminent Nigerians like former President Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar others alike. We should put politics aside on an issue like this. ”
