SAN FRANCISCO, August 07, (THEWILL) – A peace meeting between representatives of Arewa youths and Igbo leaders over the eviction notice from the North handed by the former to Igbos ended in a stalemate, warranting an extension of discussions to allow for wider consultations.
After three days of brainstorming, the committee, in a statement issued in Kano, said there was the need to adjourn sitting to the next 10 days so that members can have more time to enable it do a thorough job.
The statement signed by Chief Chi Nwogu (representative of Igbo leaders), Alhaji Dauda Shamakiri (representative of the Coalition of Northern Groups) and Mr. Isa Tijani (convener of the peace parley), said: “The Committee sat and deliberated extensively and agreed that there is the need for further consultations from both sides.
“Accordingly, the meeting adjourned to reconvene in the next 10 days where a final resolution on issues will be achieved,” the statement read.
