"RESCINDING QUIT NOTICE IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION"...... ATIKU ABUBAKAR

Following their decision to rescind the controversial "quit order" issued to Igbos resident in the northern states, to leave on or before the 1st October, 2017, Nigeria's former Vice President and chieftain of All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar the Turaki Adamawa has commended the Coalition of Northern Groups and the Arewa Youths Council for rescinding the Quit Notice..



In a statement by his media office in Abuja on August 25, 2017, the former No 2 citizen noted that, “at last, good judgment has prevailed".

Atiku Abubakar, a highly influential and respected personality however appealed to the Coalition of Northern Groups and the Arewa Youths Council to go the whole hog and drop any other condition given to people of Igbo origin living in Northern Nigeria or anywhere else in the nation stating that, “Reconciliation must be total or else it is pyrrhic”.

According to the Wazirin Adamawa, in the spirit of this rapprochement, it is imperative to call on other ethnic groupings that might have issued counter quit notices to accept this olive branch and rescind whatever notices or withdraw whatever statements they may have made.

The Wazirin Adamawa commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his national broadcast condemning such developments and urged other elders and elder-statesmen around the nation to likewise add their voices to the condemnation of evil and henceforth refrain from making statements that undermine Nigeria’s unity.

Dr. Atiku Abubakar stressed that, to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done, as a great patriot once said.
