A northern group, Coalition of Northern Groups CNG had consisitently issued a sort of quit notice to Ndigbo, and asked the Emir of Kano, the President of Nigeria and the National Assembly to grant Igbos the leave to secede from Nigeria to avoid another round of bloodshed which resulted to a civil war... The Northern Elders Forum had also re-echoed the same views and recently the Kano Elders recently joined in seeking a referendum for Ndigbo, and I support their views.
These groups cited the massive support the
activities of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, is getting, and the conspiratorial
silence of Ohanaeze and Igbo elites as proof that Igbos want to secede from
Nigeria. The groups threw their weight behind the Biafra agitations;
provide it will avert bloodshed in Nigeria.
Excerpts of the letter to the
Emir of Kano by the CNG include;
“Since 2017, on almost a daily basis, IPOB/ESN have coordinated violent attacks, indiscriminate killings and destruction of properties of northerners that continued unceasingly in almost all South Eastern states and some South South communities.
