On its part, the Middle Belt Youth Council said the main agenda of the North was to dominate the South and the North-Central (Middle Belt). The Federal Government will only handle issues of core national interest such as currencies, defence and national security. He said, “Ohanaeze is not a political party and will not engage in any partisan political alliance. “I wish they (Northern leaders) would, first of all, advise the present government to see Nigerians as equal citizens before seeking political alliance. Middle Belt and South pursue national interest not bias regional interest like that of Northern elite called Northern elders.”Copyright PUNCH.
