Attempt to extend Sharia law to South East, direct call for civil war…Abaribe

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has issued a stern warning to those attempting to impose Islam or Sharia law on Igbo people, reminding the nation that such efforts are a direct call for civil war.

Abaribe in his warning, extracted from a report on verified social media handle, in his words, said “Igbo people want nothing more than to live, prosper, and enjoy their lives in peace. Islam and Sharia law are not our path. Our ancestors rejected it, and we reject it today, tomorrow, and forever.”

Abaribe cautioned that forcing alien ideologies on the South-East is not just offensive — it is dangerous. “Trying to force Sharia on us is like asking for another civil war. Nigeria should think very carefully before pushing people beyond their limits,” he added.

He concluded with a direct message to extremist elements:

“Let it be clear: the Igbo nation will never bow to any form of religious imposition. We stand for freedom, justice, and peaceful coexistence — but we will resist anything that threatens our identity.”
