The National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) youth wing, Belusochukwu Enwerem has frowned at the call by some sections of the people in the country for the Igbo to leave the northern part of the country following the recent incidents that occurred.
While speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Enwerem observed that those actually angling for the evacuation are enemies of the country. He rather pointed out that the incident should rather unite the country rather than disintegrate it.
While condemning the incident, he called on all leaders in the country both Christians and Moslems to be at the forefront of disseminating peace and unity.

‘What is happening is unfortunate, but I believe the is the best time for us to unite as one, as Christians, Muslims, Southerners or northerners, let’s seize the opportunity of the incident of Deborah to unite.
‘We are not crying because of Deborah’s death but we are crying because of what has left us a long ago while we are still living, unity, harmony, peace, humility, and love for one another, if we have these factors going on between us, I don’t think what is happening should be happening, so we pray for oneness, love and peace to guide us I’m this period.’ Enwerem said.
Similarly, the Igbo National Council(INC) has urged Ndigbo wherever they are in the northern part of the country to live in peace with their neighbours .
President of INC, Chilos Godsent while condemning the incident pointed out that the recent behaviours by the Muslim fanatics will not subject Ndigbo to turn to cowards and leave the north but they would rather stand their grounds and defend themselves.
He urged the northern elites to caution their people warning that such will not be tolerated again.
