A House of Representatives member from Kano state have supported Arewa Youths, who called for the ejection of Igbos from the Northern part of Nigeria.
Hon. Aminu Suleiman, who is the Chairman of the House Committee on Tertiary Education, said people from eastern part of the country could not hold Nigeria to ransom through their secession threats and other activities.
“I have read the statement of the Northern Youths Coalition. I may not completely say I share their vision 100 per cent; but they have found a supporter in me, because the people of eastern Nigeria have taken this country to ransom.
“They have been causing serious problems to this country; they caused the civil war, which brought backwardness in this country. They have been using provocation to attract more attention than other parts of the country,” he said.
He also condemned Northern elites, who ordered for the arrest of the signatories to the declaration, especially Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El Rufai.
