The
coalition of Northern youth groups that asked Igbos to leave Northern Nigeria
has temporarily withdrawn its quit notice.
The groups, under the banner of
the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, issued the quit notice in
June, asking Igbos to leave before October 1 and claiming their demand was
in response to secessionist stance of some pro-Biafran groups, like Nnamdi
Kanu’s IPOB.
The quit notice to the Igbos has
been condemned by most Nigerians including the federal government, several
state governments and traditional rulers.
The groups announced a suspension
of the quit notice on Thursday at a press briefing at the Transcorp hotel in
Abuja.
