Against the background of declaring Oodua Republic, the Arewa Youth Assembly, AYA, has given Mr. Sunday Igboho 72 hours to move Yoruba people from the north
They added that failure of him to do so would make them take drastic action that would force him to move them back home.
In a statement, the group said, “We are hereby giving him the ultimatum of 72 hours to move his people out or we will be forced to take necessary actions by personally taking the responsibility of getting his people back home.”
Speaking through the group, Mohammed Salihu Danlami, Speaker, Arewa Youth Assembly, i noted that the entity of Nigeria is nonnegotiable
He enjoined all stakeholdersi n the country to reject anything that would cause confusion in the land.
He lamented, “One Mr. Sunday Igboho issued a press statement in which he was quoted as saying enough is enough that the time for Yoruba nation is now, they will no longer accommodate and accept the presence of Northerners.”
The group noted, “This is despite the fact that the constitution of the country has made it crystal clear that any Nigerian can live in any part of the country irrespective of his or her religious and tribal placements.”
The Arewa Youth said, it would not allow innocent Nigerians being threatened by people who have no respect for the law like Mr. Sunday Igboho.
According to the group, “Since it is Igboho who wants his people out of the North to form a Yoruba nation, we will make it easy for him by asking Mr. Igboho to provide a means of transportation to convey his people to the southwest.”
Acccording to the group, Mr. Igboho has been threatening lives and property of northerners residing in the southwest.
It added::“we have kept quiet for the sake of peace and for respect of the laws of our country, but as Mr. Igboho rightly said, enough is enough.”
