Igbo Quit Notice- Kashim Shettima of Borno State meet with Arewa youths



   Chairman of Northern Governors’ Forum, NGF, Kashim Shettima of Borno State, met with the Coalition of Northern Groups which gave the Igbo residing in the North October 1, 2017 deadline to leave the region.



    The result of the two-day dialogue in Kaduna and Abuja on Saturday and Sunday respectively was a resolve by the groups to meet and review the quit order this week. Speaking after a meeting with Shettima in Abuja, spokesman of the coalition, Abdullaziz Suileman, said the decision to review the June 5 Kaduna declaration was the outcome of consultations with leaders.

    It will be recalled that the Arewa groups on Tuesday June 5 released what they called Kaduna Declaration ordering the Igbo to leave the North on or before September 30. Suleiman said all the northern civil society and pressure groups were by the notice mandated to mobilize for sustained and coordinated campaigns at their respective states. Shettima gave assurance that the matter would be resolved in the interest of Nigeria’s unity.
