BEVERLY HILLS, August 25, (THEWILL) – Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has commended the Coalition of Northern Groups for rescinding the quit notice given to Igbos in the northern part of the country.
The former Presidential aspirant and chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), in a statement, released on Friday, from his media office in Abuja, expressed happiness that “at last, good judgment has prevailed.”
Atiku, however, appealed to the Coalition of Northern Groups and the Arewa Youths Council to drop any other condition given to people of Igbo origin living in Northern Nigeria or anywhere else in the nation insisting that the reconciliation must be total or else it is pyrrhic.
He also called on other ethnic groups that have issued counter quit notices to accept this olive branch and withdraw whatever notices or statements they may have made.
He then commended President Muhammadu Buhari for condemning such developments and urged other elder-statesmen across the nation to likewise add their voices to the condemnation of evil and refrain from making statements that undermine Nigeria’s unity.
