A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Anambra state Ekene Enefe has called on all the Igbo living in the North to return to the South-East.
Enefe said the threat issued by the Northerners against the Igbos must not be taken lightly.
Speaking in his native Igbo language, Enefe said, "Anaghi agwa ochi nti na agha ebidogo” meaning you needed not to tell the deaf or someone hard of hearing that war has started.
He further queried why the federal government is yet to arrest any of the Northern youths who issued the threat.
