Former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana has said that the Middle Belt minorities will not follow the North if Nigeria breaks up.
Gana said this while delivering a sermon at the St. Matthew’s Church, Maitama, Diocese of Abuja (Anglican Communion), in Abuja on Sunday.
He also berated Northern youths over the ultimatum given to Igbos to leave their region.
“They think when it comes to break-up, we will go along with the North. We have already told them that if they allow this country to break up, we are not going with the North.
“We are staying where we are. So, just take notice. If it comes to that, we will tell you that you are Arewa and we are ‘Middle-Belters.’
“We love Nigeria and it was changed to a federal system because of the minorities so that we can have a place.
“So, we love Nigeria but in the unlikely event that people want to go their way, the Arewa in the Sahel will go. But we will remain here in the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Gana, who is also the current National President of the Middle Belt Forum, said.
He also lambasted a former Vice-Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University and the spokesperson for the Northern Elders Forum, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, for supporting the quit notice issued by the northern youths.
“One of them, who also spoke is a former vice-chancellor. I thank God he didn’t sign my certificate. My own was signed by Prof. Ishaya Audu.
“How can a man of that stature, of that status, of that level of leadership, says he supports the youths in Kaduna to give to other legitimate citizens, an order to go? Who are you? Who says that?
“In this country, there are no second-class citizens. We are all first class. We are all sons and daughters of this land and that was why I decided to call a conference of all the minorities from 14 states and we had to state in clear words that the quit notice was totally unconstitutional. This is our home,” Gana said.

You are always my memtor, u always stand and abide by truth as a true federalism. Dont wanna talk too much. To a vice chancelor or professor or educated like those u mentio ed supporting the arewa youth are highly uneducated elite. They got to the position by JUST and not by merit. Well, God is exposing them right now. Thank Prof Gery for making them to know that minorities is everywhere and not what the Igbo's are thinking about merginalization.. With this, it means Nigeria will at the end of the day divided into 36 country as upposed to 6 region. Wrll God dey and belief,People like Awolowo, Balewa, Amadu Bello, hnnn uncle okotie eboh..(king of looter) will open their eye ans not sleep in heaven. Hey l forgot..Abiola and bros Abacha - the kanuris are all there...All is well.

When everyone is unwilling to be a part of the North,then our Northern friends should ask themselves where they have gone wrong.And I am sure it's time they give off their fruitless grip on power.
