Northern Group Reveals How It Intends To Punish The Southwest

A northern group may have devised a way to punish the southwest part over a recent ultimatum issued by Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho.

Igboho had recently issued an ultimatum for the Fulani community to vacate Yorubaland within 10 days, and now there is a retaliatory statement from a Northern group, the Northern Consensus Movement of Nigeria.

It threatens, not only to stop the supply of food from the North to the Southwest should Igboho insist on his position, but to also force the Yorubas living in the northern part of the country to evacuate.

The Northern group stated its position via its president, Awwal Aliyu, on Thursday during a press conference.

“Just recently, Sunday Igboho was released from prison but he issued a fresh ultimatum for the Fulani community that are living in Yorubaland to leave the region within seven days.

“This time around, we the Northern Consensus Movement of Nigeria will do everything possible to stop that move and if he resists listening, then we have no option other than to ask the Yorubas who are living in northern Nigeria to also go back to their region.:

The Northern group also urged the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, to call Sunday Igboho to order.

“On the issue of compensation to our victims of the ENDSARS killing, SASA-Akinyele market killings and IPOB and ESN killings, we have been pursuing it for several years now. Since previous administrations, a lot of promises were made but the Federal Government refused to fulfill the promises.

“So, we are requesting President Bola Tinubu to do something to it as we are giving a four-week ultimatum. If nothing is done, we are going on peaceful protest, after which we will shut down the country on all food supplies moving from the North to all Southern parts of the country.
