Professor Sani Abubakar Lugga, the 5th Wazirin Katsina, has called on the northern region to unite and prepare for self-determination, much like their southern counterparts.

Northern region warned as south moves to actualise Biafra nation

Speaking at a community engagement event organized by the Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) in Katsina state, Lugga stressed the need for northerners to brace themselves for the possibility of separation from Nigeria, reflecting on the persistent calls for secession from the South.

Biafra nation: "North could struggle to survive," says Lugga

As reported by Vanguard, Lugga lamented the lack of unity among northerners in defending their rights, contrasting it with the determination of groups like the Biafrans.

Referencing historical concerns, Lugga highlighted the apprehension of early Nigerian leaders about the amalgamation of the North and South, a union that, he argued, remains fragile.

He, however, warned that without preparation, the North could struggle to survive should the South succeed in breaking away.
