A former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has warned the leaders of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF that any igbos slaughtered in the north would be retaliated in the whole of South.
AYCF had given a three months ultimatum to the Igbos to leave the Northern states since they had agitated for Biafra.

The ultimatum had attracted reactions across the country as many, including the Kaduna State government had called on the security agencies to arrest those behind the threat.
Speaking on the issue, Fani-Kayode warned that Nigeria is not in 1966, adding the youths should be called to order before it sparked crisis in the country.
The former Minister said “The northern youths must be warned and told in very clear terms. This is not 1966. Any pogrom or slaughter of Igbos in the north will lead to a swift, immediate and devastating retaliation throughout the south.
“Those that gave the Igbo quit notice in the north are playing with fire and that fire will consume them. They are opening the gates of hell and they will enter that gate.
“They are plunging us into darkness and we shall enter that darkness together. Nigeria belongs to us all.
“I urge the core Muslim northern elders and leaders to call their youths to order before they spark off a series of events and a crisis that may not only lead to a second civil war but will also lead to the end of Nigeria.
“This time around the Igbo are not alone. An attack on them is an attack on every southerner and every Middle Belter. And such an attack will have grave and unfathomable consequences.”
