Relocation of Igbos: ACF calls for caution over unguarded utterances

THE Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has cautioned both youths in the Northern part and those agitating for the actualisation of Biafra to be cautious over unguarded utterances that are capable of jeopardising the unity and peaceful coexistence of the country.

This was contained in a statement issued to the Tribune Online in Kaduna by the National publicity Secretary of ACF, Alhaji Muhammad Ibrahim Biu on Wednesday.

It said, “All concerned to note that our democratic system of government which is anchored on law guarantees free movement of all Nigerians to any part of the country.

”Also pursue their legitimate livelihood devoid of any hindrance or molestation by any group or individuals.

‘The system allows settlement of all grievances through our elected representatives in both the national and state assemblies and law courts.

The statement noted that any act to the contrary is therefore a breach of law and order that are not helpful.

“ACF appreciates the frustrations of the Northern Youths Groups with the activities of the MASSOB and IPOB members but would not encourage any act that is not conformity with the law by any group or individuals which will do no one any good.

To this end, ACF therefore appeals for caution over unguarded utterances or statements that are capable of jeopardizing the unity, peace and corporate existence of Nigeria.
