While speaking with newsmen, the Secretary General of the council, Dr Kunle Olajide said; “We are sitting on a keg of gunpowder because no part of the country except the South West is at peace and that peace in the South West is a peace of the graveyard. We have the largest number of unemployed graduates and our infrastructures have collapsed.
”As far as YCE is concerned, the quit notice by the Arewa Youths and the call for Biafra by IPOB are a reflection of political thermometer and temperature of Nigeria. It shows there is uneasiness in every part of this nation.
“If Arewa youths could go to Arewa House to give ultimatum, then you should know they have the backing of some of their leaders,” he said.
On the rejection of the review of the Constitution by some Northerners, they said since we are in democracy, everybody is free to air his views on any matter. However, he said where the views of majority are more, that should be respected.
