PANDEF Warns Northern Youths  

The Pan Niger Delta Forum, an umbrella body for Niger Delta leaders under the leadership of Chief Edwin Clark condemned in strong terms the ultimatum which Northern Youth Groups gave to Igbo people to vacate the 19 Northern States before October 1st, 2017: “The quit notice was highly treasonable and portended great threat to the nation’s unity.”

“The statement by the Arewa youths is the most dangerous statement ever made by any group to the unity and existence of Nigeria since the end of the Civil War. PANDEF called on northern state governments, elders, particularly the Arewa Consultative Forum to take concrete steps to reassure the safety of Igbo in the region.”
