Igbos Are Going Nowhere, Our Land The Igbos Are Holding In The North, Is More Than The Whole South-East – Angry Kwankwaso Explodes.
Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa kwankwaso, has revealed that the Igbos cannot leave the region, because of their numerous investments in Northern Nigeria.
Kwankwaso made this remark in an interview with Newsmen.
This came in reaction to the numerous agitations for Biafra, and the quit order notice by a coalition of Arewa youths.
Speaking, Kwankwaso representing Kano Central Senatorial District said: “Igbos have nowhere to go. They have more assets in the North, more than 80 percent or so, of what the Northerners have in the East. The land Igbos are holding in the North, is more than the whole South-East.”
Kwankwaso, who chairs the Senate Committee on National Planning and Economic Affairs, said the agitation at both sides, does not portray the country in good light, among the comity of nations.
He said there was urgent need for all stakeholders in the country to put hands on deck to make peace, saying: “The unity and development of the country is key to all other things, therefore, we will continue to stand by it. Therefore, I call on all to join hands in ensuring that there is peace. We should use our resources to ensure that nobody raise hands to destroy the unity of the country. Talking of secession is going too far.
“Some people are doing it because of their personal interest. I wouldn’t be surprised that the young man (Nnamdi Kanu), will contest for an election in the next general elections. They started agitation to galvanize support, and at the end, they would contest for an election.”
Kwankwaso said during his tenure as Governor, a layout known as ‘New Enugu’ was carved out in Kano for the Igbos, saying the Igbos are more comfortable there than their States of origin.
On the quit notice by some Northern youths, he said the general consensus in the North, was that the country is better as one family.
