Atiku lauds withdrawal of Igbo quit notice

Former vice president and chieftain of All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar, commended the Northern youth groups for rescinding their quit notice given to people of Igbo origin to leave the northern part of Nigeria by October 1.

Mr. Abubakar, in a statement by his media office in Abuja on Friday, said of the development: “at last, good judgment has prevailed.”

He, however, appealed to the Coalition of Northern Groups and the Arewa Youths Council to go the whole hog and drop any other condition given to people of Igbo origin living in Northern Nigeria or anywhere else in the nation. “Reconciliation must be total or else it is Pyrrhic,” Mr. Abubakar said.
