Ultimatum To Igbos, A provocative Threat To National Security: Atiku Abubakar

Atiku Abubakar Nigerian Ex-Vice President has condemned the ultimatum given by some groups of northern extraction, asking Igbo to leave the North on or before October 1, 2017.

Atiku, in a series of tweets however  blamed both the youths who initiated the threat and the Igbo who responded with like threat.

He warned that Nigeria is too precious and that the national challenges are too overwhelming, such that Nigerians cannot afford to “pander to divisive rhetoric,”

The coalition of Northern groups, including the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, on Tuesday,  had given all Igbo resident in the 19 states of the North a three-month ultimatum to quit  or be forced out after the expiration of the October 1, 2017 deadline.
