Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Ambrose Aisabo has explained why some northern
youths recently issued ultimatum to Igbos to vacate their land. He said the quit notice might not be
unconnected with the continuous agitation and call for secession by some Igbo groups in the country.
He said the recent sit-at-home observed in the south-east as ordered by Biafran agitators should not
have been allowed to happen, noting that government should have moved against those who gave the
order. The former AIG told Daily Trust that the Igbo youths instigated their northern counterparts to
give the ultimatum, saying, “It takes two to tango”. However, the security expert observed that the
northern youths over-reacted by the ultimatum because not only Igbos stay in the South East.
“One thing I know is that apart from Igbos and the north, no country can survive two civil wars
. Igbos are living in the glass house and throwing stones”, he said. Why northern youths gave Igbos
quit notice – Ex-AIG, Aisabo The ex-AIG stressed the need for government to hearken to the call for
restructuring to reduce the attraction for power especially at the centre. He added, “No Nigerian is
praying for disintegration. Anyone praying for Nigeria to break up, the loss would be too much. Let
those IPOP, MASSOB stop beating the drums of war because no country survives two civil wars
because once it happens, you don’t know when and where it would end”. Buhari is alive and speaks
with Osinbajo every day – Lai Mohammed “The meeting is a step in the right direction, a proactive
measure and confidence building mechanism, meeting different zones in the country and political
groups because the way things are going, you don’t know what would happen. And it appears
majority of Nigerians are supporting this restructuring, restructure the country so that the centre
would no longer be too attractive for anybody”, he said.
