Former Kano State governor, Senator Rabiu Musa kwankwaso (APC, Kano Central) yesterday said Igbo in the North cannot leave the region because of their numerous investments.

He also said the size of the land Igbo presently occupy in the North is more than the entire South East geopolitical zone.

Speaking in an interview on the agitation for secession by Igbo groups and the quit notice by some northern groups, he said none of the millions of Igbo in the North would support breakup of Nigeria.

“Igbo have nowhere to go. They have more assets in the North more than 80 percent or so of what the northerners have in the East. The land Igbo are holding in the North is more than the whole South East,” he said.

Kwankwaso, who chairs the Senate Committee on National Planning and Economic Affairs, said the agitation at both sides does not portray the country in good light among the comity of nations.

He said there was urgent need for all stakeholders in the country to put hands on deck to make peace saying, “The unity and development of the country is key to all other things, therefore we will continue to stand by it. Therefore, I call on all to join hands in ensuring that there is peace. We should use our resources to ensure that nobody raise hands to destroy the unity of the country. Talking of secession is going too far.

“Some people doing it because of their personal interest. I wouldn’t be surprised that the young man (Nnamdi Kanu) will contest for an election in the next general elections. They started agitation to galvanize support and at the end, they would contest for an election.”

Kwankwaso said during his tenure as governor, a layout known as ‘New Enugu’ was carved out in Kano for the Igbo, saying the Igbo are more comfortable there than their states of origin.

On the quit notice by some northern youths, he said the general consensus in the North was that the country is better as one family.

Lebanese and citizens of other countries owning lands in Nigeria are heavily tasked and they don't insult Nigerians.

Now pack your things and leave. If you must own anything in Nigeria, it must be with the approval of the govt and a proper agreement must reached.

You don't insult your host calling them parasites and expect them to continue hosting you.

-Israel produce more milk and food than the whole of Nigeria, with very little landmass.
Abokki is very far away from civilization. Quote me anywhere!

-How about he till that land and feed his millions of almajiri people roaming the streets on empty stomach begging for daily-bread?
-How many Abokkis are living in IDP camps today?
Abeg carry your desert and go!!

we dominate every where we go

if by 'dominate' you mean wide spread petty trading then no wahala ... what sectors of the economy do you domimate? Banking? Oil&gas? Telecoms? Aviation? Hospitality? Insurance? Real estate (in top cities)? Do your research well and you will see that tje biggest in these sectors are hausas and yorubas...before you argue list all the top reputable firms in these sectors and find out their owners

Time to stop being politically correct. As a Northerner, I support the Youths. You cannot be in a country with people who espouse bitterness and hate.

For you to use the term host shows we only pay lip service when we say one Nigeria and refer to the constitution

The truth is that we are too diverse to be one country... You have to divide the country first before issuing any threats
Don't expect people to resign their jobs and close their shops then go back to nothing

It's common sense

ScotsReferendum:

So why have you refused to leave even after Northerners asked you to go to your small crime land? Very soon, Yorubas too will ask you to leave South-West and carry your houses and investments in Yoruba land to your Biaffraud land of hard drugs, prostitution, fake drugs, armed robbery, kidnapping and baby factory.

England controlled an empire that covered 1/3 of the earth from their capital in London

The same England isn't even up to 1/2 of Borno state

Talk say u support confiscation of Igbo properties for the Muslim ummmah

Parasitic leach.

When the Igbos leave the value of the properties will drop to sh1t.

We all know Igbos are the number one inflation drivers when it comes to land and properties.

Once the almajiri move into Sabo Garin and Maittama through revocation act then watch how it all turns to sh1t

The lunatic can't say such rubbish in Southeast unlike arrogance he displayed to Southwest leaders in Ibadan, the man is so ignorant, no wonder his main legacy in Kano was mass weddings to illit. era. te couples, Igbos 80% investments in North And Anambra and Abia are number 3 & 4 on states that controls 90% of cash transactions in Nigeria and your big for nothing state Kano was below Abia state, thank God for Nigerdelta feeding bottle, no wonder they are backward, when the head is so rotten how will the hindmost part look like With oil money and political power still ranked the poorest zone and heaven for almajiries, imagine when ND oil money cease to flow
