Spokesperson for Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, called on the order of the elders in the north to call their youths to order.

 ''Carrying out their threats would be a prelude to strange pogrom. These elements have remote than the years showed their propensity to attack people, but in the appearance of the Chinua Achebe said, they are holding a knife to the tiny rope that yet holds the country together. I objective that if they yet have elders, their elders should call them to order, on the other hand, it may be the start of the halt of Nigeria, as we know it.

  ''They should know that in 1967, they had a coalition to fight the Igbo but that coalition is no more there today. We know the people that fought the last stroke and won it. I can boldly speak for the Yoruba nation, that if the north thinks they can find substitute feat nearby the Igbo, it would not be swift. If they space any Yoruba man joining them to engagement the Igbo, subsequently that person must be a mercenary.

   ''The Igbo were not engagement, neither were they causing any crisis, but were just aggravating to make their grievances known in a peaceful song. Why should they be threatened? For northerners to reveal them to leave the north is depressed for the polity.''

National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chief Okey Nwosu, described the ultimatum as a threat to the unity of the country.

Nwosu in a telephone interview said President Muhammadu Buhari through his procedures and inactions orchestrated such ultimatum.

   ''When some elders led by President Buhari were fighting sure things, some of us cautioned. Let the APC and Buhari conformity when what they have caused.'' He stated

For the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Ndigbo should not wait for the three-month at the forefront desertion the region.

According to MASSOB leader, Comrade Uche Madu, the quit proclamation did not come as a admiration.

   ''MASSOB is au fait that such rascality will happen. As a situation of fact, this is the by yourself rascality exhibited by sponsored Arewa youths to insistently exit the people of Biafra residing in Arewa house that MASSOB will 100 per cent preserve. Their Boko Haram tactics didnt take steps as planned. We pledge our quantity respect towards this divinely attributed quit declaration.

   ''MASSOB congratulates the Arewa political, religious, usual and information leaders who sponsored their youths wing by using Arewa House in Kaduna for this greatest meeting of a coalition of Islamic fundamentalist.

   ''As there is no add-on alternating to decline Biafra forgive, the northern leaders have resorted to using their youths wing to begin terrorising the people of Biafra living in the northern region. What they saying during the sit-at-habitat exercise to mark the 50th anniversary celebration of Biafra assertion by General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu marvelled them irrespective of the promises made to them by their stooges in Biafra home.

   ''MASSOB urge our people to opening returning home now. Dont wait till the three months for quit declaration to expire. MASSOB is begging our people to a propos invest their investments minister to to Biafra house.''

Founder, Igbo Youth Movement (IYM), Evang. Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko said Ndigbo were not frightened by the quit order

   ''The broadcast from a hitherto unsigned northern organization is primed to run a broadcast to the amassed world that some people pick bloodshed to peaceful restructuring of Nigeria.

   ''The non-existent enthusiasm merely represents an attempt by the sectional security apparatchiks to intimidate the struggle to reconstruct Nigeria, in their blind and unintelligent attempt to retain the usefully unworkable status quo.

   ''If they were deafening, they would have addressed the FG to go along subsequently Biafra general pardon to seccede, but they are childishly targeting Igbo property in the North, without advancing unlimited inflexible idea split of the country.

   ''Igbo property in the North have always been used to blackmailing our people, though the mindless oppression continues. We consequently plead past this unidentified organization to write to the National Assembly, northern leaders and the United Nations, to as a situation of urgency, adaptableness a referendum on the subject of the higher of Nigeria. That mannerism, everybody will believe them deafening.

   ''Targeting our properties in the North reach not warning anybody, we are used to that. We beg them to rework their childish assertion to demand for an at the forefront referendum. That would create more prudence. Our people are energetic in hell already. We are not scared of exploit mongering, Referendum is the mannerism to go.''

However, former vice president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Fidelis Edeh flayed the ultimatum, which he said was a violation of the nations constitution.

   ''How can the northern youths wake occurring and begin to threaten citizens whose rights are guaranteed in the constitution? This threat should not be dismissed. People may speak just roughly the Biafra fright, but it is not closely the Nigerian disclose because its in pedigree considering the international charter, the African Charter and even to an extent the Nigerian constitution. This must be nipped in the bud by now innocent people are killed mindlessly.'' Edeh warned.

For Onitsha-based rights activist, Emeka Umeagbala, it is a pointer that Nigeria was still a mere geographical exposure to character.

The exact practitioner, who noted that Ndigbo had suffered numerous pogroms in Nigeria, starting from 1945 called for the restructuring of the country in a peaceful space, to the front it goes the showing off of Rwanda.
