Udenta Udenta, ex- National Secretary, Alliance for Democracy (AD) and former Director of Conflict Management and Resolution, Institute for Peace & Conflict Resolution (IPCR) has warned against hate messages.
He said it should be forcefully rejected by the elders of Nigeria.
He stated this while speaking with Daily Sun in reaction to the October 1 ultimatum given by the northern youths to Igbo.
Excerpt:
How would you react to the October 1st ultimatum by the northern youths to the Igbo?
Hate messages across board should have been more powerfully and forcefully rejected and condemned by the elders of the nation, not just from the North and the South East. It is even mischievous for anybody to reduce the crippling contradictions in the polity to a North vs East regional diatribe or inter-ethnic animus. Condemning the eviction notice will be just the beginning of reaching a common ground. It should have been followed up with a well developed early warning and early response strategy rather than the same elders- who are the biggest beneficiaries of what our long suffering nation has had to offer- being more concerned about their regions and ethnic domains.
We of the Patriotic Movement of Nigeria have decided to host town hall meetings in Abuja and in all the six geo-political zones and states of the country with the youths and other stakeholders as part of our broad based process- led Framework for Strategic Plan of Action already in the early phase of its implementation. One of the key features of our presentation will be to identity those things that unite and separate us, and how we can overcome them, as well as illuminating the fact that the pure water seller at Onitsha head bridge shouting Biafra has more in common with the poor talakawa in Kano shouting Arewa and an Alaye in Lagos shouting Oduduwa and less affinity with the exploitative and oppressive classes in an imagined Biafra, Arewa and Oduduwa republics.
