The communiqué emphasized that regional autonomy and reorganization remained the only feasible way to ensure peaceful coexistence and sustainable development in Nigeria.

“It could undermine peace on our land, force our youth into violence and trigger a crisis similar to what has happened in the rest of the country.”
