Coalition of 52 nothern groups calls on UN, others to back Igbo agitation for Biafra


A coalition of 52 northern groups (CNG) on Monday called on the global community to intervene in persuading Nigerian Government and United Nations to facilitate the final actualisation of the Biafran dream by the Igbo.

The CNG while describing as empty and of no effect, the “threats and promises” by  President Muhammad Buhari, said that “between December 2020 and April 2021, over 970 students were abducted from their schools in the Northern part of Nigeria with a substantial number still in captivity and some violently executed.” The spokesperson of CNG, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, raised the views in a communiqué after an emergency meeting in Abuja. He said Northern Nigeria has never experienced the present level of exposure to criminals and bandits under the régime of Buhari, adding that, “The CNG hereby resolves to call on our friends and the international community,  the UK especially, to understand that our bilateral friendship is guided by the principles of sovereignty, promotion of peace and the standards that guide legitimate interference. Hence, their intervention, exclamations and actions should not be drawn to discountenance the effort of the Nigerian state to protect citizens from violence and terror."
