Igbo Quit Notice: I’ll Lead The War If Igbos Are Touched- Orji Uzor Kalu

Former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said that if any Igbo man residing in the northern part of the country is “touched”, the country will go into war and he will personally lead it.

Kalu, who said this while speaking on Africa Independent Television, AIT, was reacting to the October 1st ultimatum issued to Igbos by a coalition of Arewa Youths Organization.

The former governor said the Arewa youths who issued the ultimatum were only seeking for relevance and that the Igbos would only leave Nigeria if asked to by serious minded individuals.

“Anybody that touches any Igbo man in terms of saying that we should quit; the country will go into war, and I will lead the war if Igbos are touched. I do not believe that in 2017 we should be attacking each other.

“The quit notice means nothing. No reasonable northern elder will do that. Did Adamu Ciroma sign? Did Babangida sign? Did Abdulsalam sign? Aliko Dangote? When you say northern elders, I don’t know whether Sultan of Sokoto, Emir of Kano, Emir of Zazzau and his likes are asking us to quit. If all these people come out and say we should quit, we will quit.

“We are not afraid of quitting, we have a place to go. But Nigeria’s unity is more important,” he said.
