BREAKING: ECA Asks Fulani-Hausa Muslims Or Herdsmen To Quit S-East.
In its reaction, Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, asked Fulani and Hausa Muslims or herdsmen to leave the eastern region latest October 2, 2017, saying any of them who stayed beyond that date would be on his own. Secretary of the ECA and Founder of Igbo Youths Movement, IYM, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, made this known in Enugu, yesterday, saying the decision to expel Hausa and Fulani herdsmen or Muslims was taken at the Nnamdi Kanu Centre, yesterday afternoon. He said: The Hausa song is a week old.
We have listened to it and analysed it. We, the leaders of various Igbo groups met today, at the Nnamdi Kanu Centre and resolved that Hausa/Fulani Muslims or herdsmen must leave the Eastern region. News reaching us indicates that four major Igbo groups took the decision at the Nnamdi Kanu Centre in Abia State today (yesterday.) “We are only after the Hausa/ Fulani herdsmen. We are not against the Idoma, Tiv, Igalla, Bachama, Zango- Kataf; Ibira or any other tribe in the Middle Belt or elsewhere. We are not against the Southern Kaduna people or the Christians or Muslims in Adamawa, Benue, Plateau, Kogi among others.
We do not want any Hausa or Fulani GOC, soldiers, Commissioner of Police, policemen or Director of the Department of State Services, DSS, in our place from October 2. Those who crafted the Igbo hate song are those against restructuring of the country. They want us to continue with the unitary system of government because they hate hard work. They don’t want the country to progress or grow.
