A youth group, Yoruba Youth Council (YYC), has lambasted the Arewa Youths and the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) over the purported quit notice on Igbos residing in Northern part of Nigeria.
YYC said that the three months quit notice issued to the Igbos by the coalition of Northern Youths and supported by the Northern Elders Forum is an agenda to create confusion in the country.
In a statement made available to journalists on Sunday and signed by its National President, Comrade Eric Oluwole and National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Dare Oladeinde, YYC declared that the statement is a clear message to frustrate the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
“The agenda in a clearer perspective is to frustrate and destabilize the activities of the Present Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo on achieving his aims and objectives.”
YYC then called on Nigeria Police to investigate the motives behind the quit notice and bring the culprit to book.
The group, however, added that youths from the South-Western part of the country will resist any attempt to frustrate the Acting President in office.
“Yoruba Youths shall resist any form of frustrative measure set by any tribe that could unsettle or capable to denigrate the efforts of the Acting President Prof Osinbajo whom we believed was the target of this northern antics.”

BEING A PRESS RELEASE BY YORUBA YOUTH COUNCIL,worldwide (APEX UMBRELLA BODY OF YORUBA YOUTHS)
OUR REACTIONS TO THE SUPPORT GIVEN TO THE ISSUED QUIT NOTICE BY THE NOTHERNERS TO THE IGBOS BY THE NOTHERN ELDERS FORUM THROUGH ITS SPOKESPERSON, PROF ANGLO ABDULAHI.
It is disappointing and suspicious to have the leadership in the north speaking with different voice over the quit notice order given to the Igbo people by the coalition of northern youths (CNY).The position of northern elders forum (NEF) through its spokesperson, Prof Ango Abdulahi where he expressed the northern elders support for quit order is a reflection of the northern agenda to create unrest and unsettle the administration of the present Acting President Prof Yemi Oshinbajo by formenting the ongoing ethnic discrepancies. Prof. Ango Abdulahi is a respected voice amongs the notherners whose submissions on issues of northern interests should not be discarded by any peace seeking nigerian, he is unarguably echoing the voices of the majority stakeholders in the northern region of the country. The agenda in a clearer perspective is to frustrate and destabilize the activities of the Present Acting President,prof. Yemi Osinbajo on achieving his aims and objectives.
It is in our request,that Nigeria police should unbiased investigate the motives behind the disintegrative quit notice and bring the culprit to book.
We hereby calling on our eastern neighbours to be vigilance and cautious about the quit order.
We are however reiterating that, Yoruba Youths shall resist any form of frustrative measure set by any tribe that could unsettle or capable to denigrate the efforts of the Acting President Prof Oshinbajo whom we believed was the target of this northern antics.
