Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has lamented over the cutting exchange of words between the Northern Youth coalition and South-east group, saying it's a threat to national security.


"Our country is too precious; our problems are too pressing to pander to divisive rhetoric. The ultimatum issued by a Northern youth coalition to the Igbos to quit the region is provocative, and a grave threat to national security. The counter response by a South-east group to Northerners is also reckless and thoughtless."

Recall that a Northern Youth group gave Igbos in the northern part of the country a three month quit notice to leave, while the South-east group replied that Igbos can't be chased away with all their investment in the north.
