The Northern Consensus Movement of Nigeria has issued a stern warning that it intends to halt the flow of food supplies from the North to the southern part of the country. This drastic measure comes in response to the recent ultimatum issued by Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Sunday Igboho, demanding that the Fulani community vacate Yorubaland within a mere ten days.<\/p>\n
The group’s President, Awwal Aliyu, addressed the media during a press conference on Thursday, where he made their intentions clear. The video of this press conference has rapidly circulated on various media platforms.<\/p>\n
Aliyu emphasized, “Just recently, Sunday Igboho was released from prison, and he issued a fresh ultimatum for the Fulani community living in Yorubaland to leave the region within seven days. This time, the Northern Consensus Movement of Nigeria will go to great lengths to prevent this from happening. If he persists in ignoring reason, we will have no choice but to request that Yorubas living in the northern part of the country return to their region.”<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the group has outlined specific demands, including compensation for the victims of various incidents, including the ENDSARS killings, the Shasha-Akinyele market violence, and the IPOB\/ESN-related incidents. They have set a four-week ultimatum for these demands to be addressed and met, warning that if their requirements remain unfulfilled, they will initiate nationwide protests and implement a blockade on food supplies to the southern region of the country.<\/p>\n
The threat of a food supply blockade raises concerns about potential hardships for both northern and southern communities and underscores the gravity of the existing ethnic tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
