Indications have emerged that the eviction order to Igbos to vacate the northern part of Nigeria may be withdrawn this week by the Arewa Youth Coalition following the intervention by the Northern Governors Forum, we has reliably gathered.
Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima dropped the hint after while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Sunday.
Earlier Arewa Youth Coalition spokesman Abdulaziz Suleiman told journalists that the notice would be withdrawn other things being equal as consultations with all the parties involved were still ongoing.
Speaking further, he said the decision to soft-pedal on the notice was as a result of the “positive developments” that came out of the meeting with Shettima and persuasions from the Northern Governors’ Forum but did not reveal the actual date for the withdrawal.
He said: 'You will hear from us this week; what we can say is that there has been a major development. Now the chairman of the Governors’ Forum has taken the initiative and invited us to start negotiations.
“This is the first time we are meeting publicly with any leader and we believe that it is a major step forward in our ongoing consultations.
“We hold the governor in high esteem and we have the unity of the country at heart”.
“You see, I wonder why you talk about quit notice. We only issued a Kaduna declaration, quit notice is just a part of it. Let us do the recounting of the successes of our declarations first. We are still going on with our consultations”.
