wrong impression being given by secessionists that they enjoy widespread support. The declaration does not reflect the sentiments of the north or the northerners who as Nigerians are receptive to all ethnicities.
“We therefore strongly condemn the wrong impression being created to the effect that the north is at war with Igbos to warrant serving them quit notice. The north is not at war with any part of Nigeria as the region truly believes in the strength of a united Nigeria. We are not only happy to live with the Igbos but we are eagerly available to do business with them and everyone else that believes in one Nigeria,” Gamji said in the statement.
He noted that those issuing the statement just like the IPOB/MASSOB merchants were the true enemies of Nigeria.
While calling on all well meaning northern leaders to dissociate themselves from this meaningless call, the coalition said the groups that took part in the briefing should be blacklisted and ostracized in anyway possible as they must not be provided the platform to further spread hatred.
