Muhammad, who spoke at a public lecture organised by the Mumbayya House, with a theme, “Electoral Democracy and Integrity in Nigeria, Reflections on INEC Transformation 2011-2015″ in Kano, said the government is fuelling the drums of war through its silence.

He said: “I must make it clear that lack of brutal frankness on the part of government, when it comes to national issues, appeared to be fuelling these drumbeats of war.

“Various ethnic groups and individuals have been making remarks capable of breaking the unity of Nigeria but I haven’t heard the government as the epitome of statehood calling people to order.”

Recall that the president of the Coalition of Northern Youths Abdulaziz Suleiman during a press conference in Kaduna ordered all Igbos living in the North to vacate the region.
