NYCN Call On FG To Order Arrest Of Prof. Ango Abdullahi Over Support For Igbos Eviction

A Northern advocacy group, the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has called on the Federal Government to extend its
arrest order to Prof. Ango Abdullahi, spokesman of the NEF by supporting the calls for the relocation of the Igbos from the
region.

This is a reaction to the call by some Northern Youth that Igbos should vacate the North within three months and subsequent
alleged support by the Northern Elders Forum.

At a press conference in Kaduna at wee hours of Saturday, the group noted that should there be any crisis as a result of uncivil declaration by some reckless youths who failed to weigh the implications of such sensitive matter on the economic and socio- political consequences, Ango Abdullahi and his family would leave the country, leaving
innocent people to pay with their blood.

NYCN president, Isah Abubakar, said the Kaduna Declaration’ was never in any way
represent the collective voice or decision of any legitimate coalition of youth groups
from the region as the council remains the apex youth organisation that has the right
to announce any resolution of youths from the region.

The group, which plainly dissociated itself from the declaration said Nigeria remain
one indivisible entity.
The group also reiterated that any Nigerian citizen, has the right to live and own property anywhere he or she chooses to reside without fear from other fellow
citizens.

Isah, who expressed worry that when the country is working very hard to retrace its step to good governance, some were busy
trying to frustrate that effort by well- meaning Nigerians especially, President Mohammadu Buhari and his Vice Professor
Yemi Osinbajo.

“We are surprised with statement credited to our renowned elder and academic, Professor Ango Abdullahi, supporting the
uncivil and illegal declaration that Igbos should vacate the North.

“NYCN want to use this medium to dissociate itself from anti-Nigeria agenda for selfish reason. We are not happy with the
development in all its ramifications.

“We are calling on federal government to extend its arrest order to Professor Ango
Abdullahi and other people who must have sponsored the perpetrators of such a huge
inciting statement capable of throng the country into another civil unrest while the
country is yet to fully recovered from the previous one several decades after,” it
concluded.
