Quit Notice To Biafran Igbo Still Stand - Arewa Youths

Members of the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (ACF), disclosed that they are yet to change their stand that Igbo residents in northern Nigeria who endorse the agitation for Biafra should leave by a deadline of October 1, 2017.

However, the group said Igbo residents who are not Biafran agitators may stay on in the northern states.

The group revealed that its members will hold a series of town hall discussions on the matter.

One of ACF's youth leaders, Shettima Yarima, stated the group's position while speaking in Kano at a town hall meeting organized by a Coalition of Northern Groups. The event took place at Niimah Guest palace.

"The purpose of the town hall meeting in Kano is to review the early stand we took, and we are collecting views of people here from the North West [political zone]. We will also move to North Central and North East on whether to maintain our position or reconsider it," said Mr. Yarima.
