The
coalition of Northern youth groups that asked Igbos to leave Northern Nigeria
has temporarily withdrawn its quit notice.
The groups, under the banner of the Arewa Youth
Consultative Forum, issued the quit notice in June, asking
Igbos to leave before October 1 and claiming their demand was
in response to secessionist stance of some pro-Biafran groups, like Nnamdi
Kanu’s IPOB.
The quit notice to the Igbos has been condemned
by most Nigerians including the federal government, several state governments
and traditional rulers.
The groups announced a suspension of the quit
notice on Thursday at a press briefing at the Transcorp hotel in Abuja.
