Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Caretaker Committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has said only restructuring can end the agitations by the South-East.

Speaking on Friday in Kaduna, the PDP chairman said agitations is currently posing a threat to the unity of Nigeria.

Makarfi called on Igbos residing in the north not to flee the region because of the October 1 declaration by the northern youths.

He urged the Federal Government to embark on the process of restructuring Nigeria for development, growth and peaceful existence of citizens in the country.

Makarfi said: ”If not for the measures the governors took, the matter could have gone out of control. We didn’t see reprisals; we saw leaders, governors, traditional rulers and religious leaders calling for calm.

”I am confident October 1 will come and go peacefully. Arewa youths are not like IPOB; you cannot see their flag or office. Maybe you see some youths coming from one state or the other at a meeting and they disperse, which is not what IPOB was doing.”
