The Northern Consensus Movement has declared the North is prepared to be separated from Southern Nigeria if agitations for the country to breakup persists.
The group made the declaration during a press conference over the weekend in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
Leader of the group, Auwwal Abdullahi Aliyu, stated the North has ‘more than enough’ to take care of itself if Nigeria breaks up today.
Aliyu noted that while Oduduwa and Biafra Republic agitators are calling for secession, northerners will remain as Nigerians even if the country breaks up.

“You don’t have any northerner that owns a house in the south-south, south-west or south-east. So, we are saying that we are ready to co-exist as Nigerians but if you think you don’t want it that way then the north is ready to be separated from the south. In fact, we have more than enough to take care of ourselves and to make Northern Nigeria greater.”
“While you are calling for Oduduwa republic and calling for Biafra, we in the north will remain as Nigerians.”
“We are passing this message to the federal government, to the eastern and western state governors that every northerner that has been killed, every property of every northerner that has been destroyed, we are saying that the government of those states, that those incidents happened must pay our people, you must pay compensation.”
