Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has taken a swipe on Igbo leaders, accusing them of drumming another war and secession.<\/p>\n

This is also as ACF has expressed their confidence on the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to deliver the desired dividends of democracy to Nigerians, saying, \u201cwe are confident that Nigerians will soon begin to reap the benefit of his (Buhari) experience and credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing a press conference preparatory to its 2015 Annual General Assembly (AGA) holding in Kaduna, the Chairman of the National Executive Council (NEC), Ibrahim A. Coomassie\u200e, described as worrisome the renewed agitations by Biafra movement.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to him, \u201cACF has observed with serious concern the continued agitation by some Ndigbo elements for the creation of Biafra Republic out of the present Federal Republic of Nigeria. As you will recall, the issues of Biafra was settled in 1970 after a Civil War.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is, therefore, sad and unfortunate that 45 years after, when Nigerians are now united in a democratic system of governance, some elements are now busy drumming the idea of another war and secession through \u2018Radio Biafra\u2019 and MASSOB activities.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe agitators for this unholy division are in their safe abode outside Nigeria and are openly campaigning in foreign countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most painful aspect of this agitation by the young Ndigbo elements is the deaf ear and silence from the elders, who experienced the bitter pill of the succession attempt- 30 months civil war and who know the consequences of such a futile agitation.<\/p>\n
