BREAKING: Arewa Group Which Issued Ultimatum To Igbo Moves To Counter El-Rufai
The coalition of three northern groups which called for the expulsion of Igbo from the northern part of the country has convened another meeting to respond to Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s condemnation and the call for their arrest.
The meeting, first reported by Premium Times, is said to be underway in Kaduna at the time of this report, is aimed at responding to Mr. El-Rufai for ordering the arrest and prosecution of its members.
Abdulaziz Suleiman, a coordinator of the group, said Mr. El-Rufai’s move to block his group from forcing a mass exodus of Igbo from northern states was “disappointing.”

“We are currently meeting to decide on how best to react,” Mr. Suleiman was quoted as saying.
“Personally, I am disappointed with some of our leaders. These types of threats were issued against the Fulani recently and no governor from the South came out to condemn it,” Suleiman added.
Suleiman who heads the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, had on Tuesday issued a three months ultimatum to Igbo in the North to return to East.
The group held the media briefing at the headquarters of Arewa Consultative Forum, a political and cultural association of Northern Nigeria leaders.
