Standup9ja: Igbo quit notice, Coalition of Northern Groups disowns audio inciting violence against other ethnic groups

Coalition of Northern Groups have expressed dismay over an audio recording in circulation that tends to incite people against some ethnic groups in the country and purportedly made by one Ibrahim Mohammed Jajere.

A statement issued by the groups spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, Wednesday, said, “Our attention has been drawn to an audio recording in circulation that tends to incite people to violence against some ethnic groups in the country purportedly made by one Ibrahim Mohammed Jajere.

“We emphatically wish to distance ourselves from such pronouncement and its maker and restate that we have never called anybody to violence.

“We find the audio quite unfortunate and an attempt to divert attention from the current commendable efforts made by the Acting President and other well-meaning regional leaders.

“It is unfortunate that such pronouncements are coming at a time when meaningful strides are being made towards dousing ethnic tension in the country.

“Just last week, a leader of our Coalition Amb Yerima Shettima told the world that we would review the earlier position of the Coalition in appreciation of the recent position of the Southwest governors that denounced Biafra.
