The leader of the coalition of northern youths, Yerima Shettima, has expressed the intent to influence northern lawmakers to include referendum in the constitution allowing ethnic groups to secede from the country.
we are willing to ensure that all our lawmakers from the northern part of the country find a way to put the referendum clause in the constitution; they represent our interests and we would tell them exactly what to do and follow up, so that, at the end of the day, we can have the referendum.

Speaking on behalf of the coalition, its coordinator, Shettima Yerima, said: “Not withstanding efforts by Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo and responsible regional leaders, Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), remains undaunted.
“Their continued action is a clear signal that they are committed to breaking away from the Nigerian Federation which buttresses our earlier concerns.
“Since it is becoming all the more obvious by the way IPOB and Kanu enjoy massive support from the Igbo back home, that the issue of the drive for Biafra nation is still a boiling one, we urge the UN to intervene by initiating processes for a peaceful referendum as the only option to finally settle the Biafran issue.”
