BREAKING: Yoruba people asked to leave north within 3 days

Yorubas resident in northern part of Nigeria have been given three days ultimatum to leave the northern part of the country.

This followed the declaration of Yoruba sovereignty by Sunday Igboho.

Giving the ultimatum on Thursday, the Arewa Youth Assembly, AYA, said Igboho has between now and Sunday to move his Yoruba people from the north or be forcefully ejected.

Mohammed Salihu Danlami, Speaker, Arewa Youth Assembly, in a statement, noted that the entity of Nigeria is nonnegotiable and called on all stakeholders in the country to reject anything that would cause confusion in the land, Daily Post reports.

He said, “One Mr. Sunday Igboho issued a press statement in which he was quoted as saying enough is enough that the time for Yoruba nation is now, they will no longer accommodate and accept the presence of northerners.”

“This is despite the fact that the constitution of the country has made it crystal clear that any Nigerian can live in any part of the country irrespective of his or her religious and tribal placements.”

“Since it is Igboho who wants his people out of the North to form a Yoruba nation, we will make it easy for him by asking Mr. Igboho to provide a means of transportation to convey his people to the southwest.”
