The Wazirin Katsina Prof Sani Abubakar Lugga has urged northerners to take their destinies in their own hands as the country faces the imminent threats of break up.
The academic made the call during an event organised by the Coalition of Northern Group, CNG, at the weekend, stressing that leaders in the region appear not prepared for separation like other regions in the country.
The don urged the northern region to unite and prepare for self-determination, much like their southern counterparts.
Prof Lugga spoke amidst recent calls from separatist groups form the south such as the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indegenous People of Biafra, IPOB, the Yoruba Nation led by Prof Adebanji Akintoye.
Lugga’s call on the northerners also coincides with the submission of a petition by Sunday Igboho one of the Yoruba Nation leaders to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer to consider the secession of the South West form Nigeria.
Lugga said the country is very fragile at the moment, stressing that the north must prepare if they don’t want to be caught unawares should the South succeeds in breaking away form the country.
The magazine reports that Igboho submitted the petition to the UK leader on Sunday, on behalf of Prof. Akintoye alongside other Yoruba Nation leaders.
They include Yoruba Nation Diaspora Youth Leader, Prophet Ologunoluwa, Vice President of Ifeladun Apapo, Fatai Ogunribido, General Secretary of Yoruba World Media, Alhaja Adeyeye, and Member of Yoruba Nation Movement, Paul Odebiyi.
