Northern youths under the aegis of the Arewa Youth Forum on Tuesday in Kaduna asked President Goodluck Jonathan to “call to order,” his kinsmen – former Federal Commissioner for Information and Ijaw Leader, Chief Edwin Clark; and the leader of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Asari Dokubo – for their “unguarded utterances” which could lead to the disintegration of the country.
National President of the AYF, Mr. Gambo Gujungu, in a statement, insisted that the region was not afraid of war.
He said, “People like Clark and Asari had forgotten that the region was the mainstay of the Nigerian state before the discovery of oil.
“It is pertinent to let the war mongers know that the North is not afraid of war. But we are advocates of peace. We are not war mongers and will not and will never call for war within the polity of Nigeria.
