 No problems with Igbo, says Abia Yoruba community


The Yoruba United Community in Abia State has said Yoruba people have no problem with the Igbo, condemning the recent “IgboMustGo” slogan, which trended in Lagos during the recent #Hunger protest.


Speaking on Saturday in Umuahia after his re-election for a second term,  the President General of the Yoruba United Community, Abia State, Okikiade Yusuf, said, “We have no crisis in Abia. The crisis between the Yoruba and the Igbo is political and we must try to remove such a crisis, which is unnecessary and must be stopped. Yoruba and Igbo are one. We have no crisis in Abia and Abians are loving.


“Abia is our first state and Yoruba is our second state. We live here, do business here and marry from here. We will ensure that our people are law-abiding and contribute to the peace of the host communities.”


He expressed his happiness that the community had been living in peace, while he had been able to coordinate members of the community in many local government areas in the state, adding that he was re-elected for another three years due to the way he had been uniting the community.


The Deputy President, Adeyemi Sunday, who has been living in the state for over 30 years, affirmed that the Yoruba community had no problem with Igbo and called on southern Nigeria to be united.
