Igbo Group To Arewa Youth Leader: Don’t Throw Nigeria Into State Of Anarchy

By Bimbo Ogunnaike

An Igbo socio-political organization, Igbo National Council (INC), has urged the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and other northern political leaders to immediately call Yerima Shettima and his cohorts to order before they throw the country into destructive political crisis ahead 2023 Nigeria Presidential election.

The group in a statement issued on Sunday by its President General, Chilos Godsent, urged Nigerians to ignore the false and misleading publications of Yerima Shettima, regarding the 2023 Nigeria Presidential elections.

It would be recalled that the Arewa Youth leader, Shettima was quoted in an interview with journalists saying that 2023 is not the right time for Igbo person to be president of Nigeria.

“The same Yerima has in recent times been misinforming ignorant Nigerians that the North has made more sacrifices more than any other tribe in building Nigeria. We wish to use this opportunity to set the record straight and properly educate Yerima Shettima and his co-travellers on the wrong part of history, that since the creation of Nigeria no tribe, race or group has made more sacrifices in building Nigeria than the Igbo Race.

“Consequently, in the spirit of reconciliation, fairness, justice and equity, the only geopolitical zone more ripe to produce the President of Nigeria is 2023 is the South-East zone,” thge group said.
