The North Central People’s Forum (NCPF) has disowned agitators of the Mid-West Republic even as it affirmed commitment to one indivisible Nigeria.
Addressing newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital, Monday, Secretary General of NCPF, Alh Khaleel Bolaji said, “It is pertinent to inform Nigerians and the entire world that the NCPF is not identifying with such divisive call and dissociates itself in totality with the recent publication in an online paper that ‘Middle Belt releases country’s flag, currency and coat of arms, names it Midwest Republic.”
He added that: “As you are aware, the NCPF is an association of the states in the North – Central Nigeria: Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa states, including FCT , respectively.
“Therefore, there is no ethnicity or religious segregation in the association. Rather, the NCPF is united to have a structure to negotiate for political power just like Afenifere in the South West.”
