Professor Sani Abubakar Lugga, the 5th Waziri of Katsina, believes the North will suffer if the Biafra Republic is achieved.

He called on the Northern region to unite and prepare for self-determination. He made this known during a community engagement organized by the Northern Group (CNG) in Katsina State.

Lugga pointed out that it is time for Northerners to consider the possibility of separation from Nigeria, following calls from the South for secession.

He highlighted the lack of unity among Northerners in defending their rights, comparing it to the forceful nature of the Biafrans in their pursuit of freedom.

He warned that if the North fails to prepare, they could struggle to survive should the South succeed in breaking away.

Some Nigerians on social media reacting to Lugga's comment said,

@CertifiedAnelka tweeted: "Separation is the only way."

@buildWithDeclan tweeted: "They won't leave without a fight. Its Islamic Nature. Conquest, Violence mentality."

@educatedlawyer tweeted: "Never, the division of Nigeria is non negotiable, you guys ain’t going nowhere."
