The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council worldwide has called on south-east governors to establish a joint security outfit to address insecurity issues in the region.

Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the group’s president, and Okwu Nnabuike, its secretary general, made the request in a statement.

On January 9, south-west governors will launch “Amotekun”, a regional security outfit.

Ohanaeze youth asked the governors of Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra to emulate their counterparts in the south-west.

“OYC call on the South East governors to establish a joint security outfit that will uniformly curb crimes and insecurity challenges emanating from suspected herdsmen,” the statement read.

“We want the South East governors forum to replicate in the South East, the new security outfit recently announced by Southwest governors “Amotekun” which will commence work on January 9th 2020. All over the world, security of lives and property remains the top priority of every government.

“OYC is ready to assist the South East Governors to draw up a master strategic plan, design to provide palliative measures and prevent crime through partnerships with security agents and ensure that crime and insecurity challenges are reduced to minimal level, for increased dividends of democracy, foreign investments, makes Southeast safe for businesses to thrive, and exploit her potential and become the fastest growing economies in West Africa. This security outfit will also create employment for Igbo youths.”

The group also said Igbo across the country will experience more hardship in year 2020.

It said the current year will be tougher in the areas of security, economic policies, social security/welfare and infrastructural facilities, which “are in ruins across the zone for decades now”.

“Igbos should be their brothers keeper in the face of any adversity and provocative threats in other to avoid being sacrificial Lamb and major casualties in the hardship that awaits Nigerians in 2020…hunger and tough year awaits all,” the statement read.

OYC commended the south-east governors forum for its collaboration with the federal government in delivering projects under the overall leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

It said the synergy has yielded positive result and increased dividends of democracy for the south-east region.

The group also called for the extension of ongoing railway projects to the south-east region.

It demanded for new train coaches and new railway lines connecting Onitsha-Owerri-Aba to boost economic activities.

OYC commended Buhari for completion of some projects in the area, but added that the president should revamp the Enugu coal mine as promised.

Even a nigeria governor can't do it except he approach ONSA office and get approval.

No need for South-East Regional Security Outfit, Global Chest-beating is enough. Sebi you can destroy everywhere, the same way you destroyed the Nigerian Army during the civil war, you also owned everywhere because you are God's special children, just continue your dreams.

The security has not even started and you are already everywhere..

The main question is... would the security be armed liked the herdsmen? Or would it end up like OPC, Vigilante, Rangers and Neighbourhood watch..

It's a gesture worth emulating, but how would this be different or would it be an Avenue to put political touts on payroll with amenities?..

Just read your link... didn't see anywhere it stated "would be armed"... only saw "liase with police"

If the whole arrangement will not be hijacked by some selfish entities, I think it's a good way to go in order to curtail the security challenges in the country.

The challenge seems to be too big than what the federal government can handle alone.

No northerner is going to approve an armed pseudo security organization for a region that has since independence has either used it's possession of arms or control of security apparatus to either stage coups in order to dominate others or attempt secession especially at a time when unity is fragile and secession calls in that region are high. This is the reason why certain people are not trusted with the head of our armed forces or the presidency.

Nigeria is still a slave of the events of 1966 and the civil war. Failure to understand this is a failure to understand the dynamics of Nigeria and why things happen the way they do.

Does that even make sense to you? Using the Biafra name for a security outfit in Nigeria when you are aware of the history of this country regarding Biafra and u call that wisdom? This just shows how ignorant some of you guys can be.

Nnamdi Kaduna is coming to create everything for you. Just wait and be patient...

Ok
