3-MONTHS NOTICE: BUHARI WILL DEALT WITH THOSE INVOLVED

The All Progressives Congress, APC, assured Igbos in the North that President Muhammadu Buhari will ensure that those behind the three-month deportation notice are arrested and prosecuted.

APC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi made the disclosure while assuring Igbos that the federal government led by Buhari would ensure their security in the region.

In a statement he delivered on Thursday, Abdullahi said, said he was disturbed by the growing rise of separatist agitation by individuals and groups in the country, saying:

"Development is not Not healthy for our booming democracy, development and unity of our great Country, Nigeria.

"There are legal procedures for any form of agitation in a democracy, and we observe that the nature and content of recent agitations clearly exceed the limits of the law and go beyond the limits of freedom of expression.

"While the agitations on many contentious issues in politics are normal and the key ingredients of participatory democracy that the APC advocates and defends, these agitations must be peaceful and show respect for the constitutional rights of other citizens.

"The National Assembly, the courts and several legal avenues are at the disposal of citizens, groups and diverse interests to make changes, seek redress and advance legitimate causes.

"Therefore, we call the agitators to join a political party that shares their ideology or form a new party to push their cause.

"The CPC strongly condemns any statement, ultimatum or action that threatens our existence as a country, and the Party is convinced that our security agencies will investigate and prosecute the promoters and promoters of these declarations and provocative, divisive, Incentives and anti-democratic measures.

"We insist that despite our challenges, our strength lies in our diversity. We must use our advantage in our quest to lift the country to its deserved heights.

"The APC assures Nigerians that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is doing his best and is committed to welcoming all Nigerians, regardless of religious, tribal or even political affiliation."
