Igbo Leaders of Thought, a group of prominent Igbo political leaders, rose from a meeting in Enugu on Wednesday with a warning that President Goodluck Jonathan may become the last president of one united Nigeria, if a politician from the North-East and North-West continue to sponsor the activities of the Boko Haram sect.

The Igbo leaders maintained their belief that the terror campaign of the Boko Haram sect was an ethno/religious war being waged by unnamed northern political leaders, who seek to take control of the presidency.
The group, which is led by Prof. Ben Nwabueze, spoke in a statement signed by its Deputy Secretary, Evang. Elliot Uko, and the Leader of the Igbo Women Assembly, Chief Mariah Okwor.
They noted that the sponsors of the insurgency are inadvertently pushing Nigeria towards disintegration in their bid to make the country ungovernable towards actualising their quest for central power, reports Punch.
However, the Igbo leaders warned that, rather than succeed in their quest, the sponsors of the Boko Haram sect would only succeed in ensuring that Jonathan becomes Nigeria’s last president.
