Igbo people resident in Oyo State have declared that no amount of provocation by Northern youths would incite them to fight any form of war again.
Speaking through the Onyenlu Ndigbo, of Ibadanland, Chief Aloy Obi, they said those agitating for war against the Igbos should be prevailed upon to allow the people to reside in any part of the country as provided by section 42 of the 1999 constitution.
They further backed Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State for his tough stance against proponents of disintegration.
They also expressed displeasure at the alleged “seeming lackadaisical attitude of the police towards resolving the situation as the action of the Arewa groups contradicts the stand of the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, who said the police had sent detectives to arrest the youths that gave the ultimatum even when members of the group were still holding another meeting in Kaduna as at Wednesday.” Chief Obi, however, tasked the Northern youths to read history and find out the implication of their action, which, according to him, was tantamount to calling for war, saying,those that have witnessed war before will never pray for a situation of war.
He cautioned against such an unguarded statement and threat, which he said are “capable of igniting fire in the fragile peace in Nigeria, especially when the agitation for Biafra is very much tensed in the Eastern part of the country as well.”
