Northern leaders have called their southern counterparts' bluff, insisting that the North will survive in the event of a break-up of Nigeria.
The northern leaders, under the auspices of the Arewa Elders Forum on Wednesday, said the North could stand on its own in a divided Nigeria.
However spokesman Abudullahi, said the North would not push for the break-up, as he alleged that some Nigerians had been hiding under the agitation for the convening of a national conference show to the world that they were tired of staying in a united Nigeria.
"If they insist, why don't we sit down and talk? If at the end everybody agrees that Nigeria should be divided, if in the long run, everybody is satisfied that the country should break up, let it be."
