The Northern based political group, Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF has justified the 2 January Boko Haram order issued to southerners residing in the North to leave or face the action of the dreaded group.
The group today at a press conference in Kaduna at the Sokoto Road ACF headquarters said those blaming Boko Haram for issuing the order were unfair, when in the first place the southerners were the first to order northerners to leave the South .
Though the ACF Chairman , Alhaji Aliko Mohammed said the group is not supporting Boko Haram for issuing the quit order, there was need to properly understand that the southerners started first before Boko Haram retaliated.
According to him, the federal government should wake up to the responsibility of ensuring the security of Nigerians where ever they reside to avert the situation where a group will order another Nigerian group to leave his area of domicile.
On the large numbers of Igbos leaving the North, Mohammed claimed that northern leaders have not asked the Igbos to leave.
But he quickly added that the Igbos could go if they want to go’’.
The ACF told President Goodluck Jonathan to name those he said are Boko Haram members in his cabinet and gave an assurance that the group would expose these collaborators immediately.
”Government should uncover the true identity of the Boko Haram members in order to be able to determine their demands or grieviances as well as address those that may be genuine and in accordance with our laws’’.
The ACF chair, Aliko Mohammed emphasised that ACF is not only worried about the spate of bomb attacks in the north , but also the inability of the Jonathan led administration to deal decisively with the perpetrators.
He urged the federal government to give security guaranty to members and leaders of Boko Haram when eventually they come out for dialogue.
However, while condemning the actions of the Boko Haram, Mohammed reiterated that it is also necessary to call upon the federal government and all leaders and those in authority to recall the 1963 UN resolution of 2010, which urges governments around the world to address underlying causes of civil unrest and social conflicts rather than resort to military power that rarely solves them.
He also said the federal and state government should be seen to demonstrate fairness and justice in dealing with all issues of insecurity and infringemnet of the laws of the country.

We have Intels Services in the south-south and in Lagos – Chaiman – Atiku Abubakir. We have all the Aliko Dangote’s Flour mills and cement deport allover the whole place. We have oil blocks owned by the Dantatas. We have all sorts of high rise buildings and estates owned by the northern elites, spread over Lagos, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, etc. Go for their jugulars and they will surrender!
Nigeria had never been united since independence, 1960. A union of people with different ethnic groups, different tribal languages, different natutural resources and occupations, different religions with high degree of religious intoterance, high degree of corruption and selfishness common among the ethnic groups that make up the so called political federation of Nigeria. Tell us what actually binds us together in Nigeria? The peaceful solution may be in a referendum for the people to make their own choice. A peaceful solution may be 4 seperate independent sovereign countries, so the easterners, the westerners, the northerners and the southerners can opt for their own sovereign state. God have mercy on all. Amen.
The ACF Chairman, Alhaji Aliko Muhamed, should be summoned , to substantiate his claim that the South were the first to ask the Notherners to leave. His submission is inflamatory, such is not expected from a good leader. Too bad.
The ACF itself is the Boko Haram, we all know that. The only solution for peaceful existence of different region of this country is for it to peacefully split. when people can not live together, they would learn to live separately. Let the north practice its sharia and south worship their God as it pleases each section. Nigeria is not a nation because we do not have a common history, heritage, culture, language etc that can serve as a base for unity hence dividing the country into north and southern Nigeria remained the only option for peace according to late Mumar Gadarfi
The ACF speech showed that the government has failed Nigerians, it also means that the northerners do not recognize the government or they have no respect for it and as such they are interested for the government to collapse.
The northerners are not interested for the co-existence of all Nigerians. so why are we wasting our time? this is a challenge to south east, south south and south west leaders to run to the international community and the united nations so that we can divide Nigeria.
If igbo leaders are cowards, now we will know. we are tired of being used as a sacrificial lamb, our blood has been wasted enough. OBJ we regret that this nonsense did not happen in your era, obj please advise this rubber stamp president called Jonathan.
I am highly disappointed in ACF chairman and its entire leadership. ACF has clearly admitted that boko haram is its appendage, going by his claim that the south first asked that the north should leave their places of domicile. he has not also justified why the north that only retaliated to the mere words of the south had gone ahead to increase the spate of bombing without corresponding bombing from the south. In the first place, who spoke for the south and or who justified what could be termed a miscreants statement? Aliko mohammed or whatever u are called, you are also a boko haram QED.
it is a historic fact, thta the north was the first that ever threatened to break away from this thing called nigeria.go check your history books.now,they want it through violence.if this country wants to break up, so be it-there’s nothing so special about it.better,and more progressive countreis had ,had to part ways.back to aliko mohammed,he is senile,after the christmas day bombing at madalla,boko haram issued warning to southeners to leave the north-while it asked the northerners to leave the south.since he, and his agents started the senseless killing people,southerners,has any northerners been killed in the south.aliko mohammed is a memmber of boko haram-he should be watched.
Aliko Mohamed is a fool.Though I do not blame him but those who refused to understand when their presence are no longer welcome. He said if the Igbos want to go they can go, fine. What else do you want to hear from him?Igbos, count your teeth with your tongue.With all the killings of the Southerners and destruction of their properties, how many Northerners were killed and how many of their investments were destroyed? These happened not, not because the Southerners are cowards, but because we are Civilised and well Educated. There is a great different between the way a half baked literate does something from the way a well and full educated person does.The former applies principle of callousness prompted by inferiority complex, the latter applies a princilpe of equity,justice,fairplay and humanism. I infer by telling the Southerners to hear what the Not/North said and come home.The Southern sky is large enough to contain all the Southern birds.
