Enugu Massacre : S/east Senators Call For Emergency SE/SS Summit by mcmaurice20(m): 2:50am On Apr 28, 2016
from Okoli Sunday
THE South East Senate Caucus yesterday warned against what it termed imminent danger and possible attack on the unity of Nigeria if the Federal Government fails to urgently address the Enugu massacres by the marauding Fulani herdsmen. Rising from an emergency meeting in Abuja yesterday, the Senators not only condemned the attack, which left over 50 persons dead and scores driven out of their homes, they also called for a summit of South East and South South State Governors, members of National and State Houses of Assembly, Socio-Cultural associations, traditional rulers and major stakeholders immediately. In a statement by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Abia South after the meeting, the emergency summit was put in place to review and evaluate the very scary situation and profer a coordinated response that would ensure the security of lives and properties of their people. According to the caucus, the summit became imperative against the background of the ominous silence and apparent indifference of the presidency over the killings in Enugu, some areas in Delta state and so many other zones in recent time even when there was obvious intelligence reports. The statement read, “We can no longer sit and watch while our people are daily slaughtered like fowls without even attracting the cursory routine condemnation by the Presidency. “We are even more appalled that despite the alarm raised by the Uzo Uwani Communities of an imminent attack by the fulani herdsmen and the associated vague assurances by the Chairman of Fulani community in Enugu that such attack will not happen, yet the security agencies failed to prevent the attack that happened two days after the alarm. “It is disheartening what is happening and somebody has to take responsibility. That somebody has to be the institution of the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

THE South East Senate Caucus yesterday warned
against what it termed imminent danger and possible
attack on the unity of Nigeria if the Federal
Government fails to urgently address the Enugu
massacres by the marauding Fulani herdsmen.
Rising from an emergency meeting in Abuja yesterday,
the Senators not only condemned the attack, which left
over 50 persons dead and scores driven out of their
homes, they also called for a summit of South East and
South South State Governors, members of National and
State Houses of Assembly, Socio-Cultural associations,
traditional rulers and major stakeholders immediately.
In a statement by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Abia
South after the meeting, the emergency summit was
put in place to review and evaluate the very scary
situation and profer a coordinated response that would
ensure the security of lives and properties of their
people.
According to the caucus, the summit became
imperative against the background of the ominous
silence and apparent indifference of the presidency
over the killings in Enugu, some areas in Delta state
and so many other zones in recent time even when
there was obvious intelligence reports.
The statement read, “We can no longer sit and watch
while our people are daily slaughtered like fowls
without even attracting the cursory routine
condemnation by the Presidency.
“We are even more appalled that despite the alarm
raised by the Uzo Uwani Communities of an imminent
attack by the fulani herdsmen and the associated
vague assurances by the Chairman of Fulani
community in Enugu that such attack will not happen,
yet the security agencies failed to prevent the attack
that happened two days after the alarm.
“It is disheartening what is happening and somebody
has to take responsibility. That somebody has to be the
institution of the Presidency of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.”
I strongly condemn the act. I see it as a southern version of the boko haram. they just can't say boko haram because our mode of education has been Western from the beginning. they are going to come out with a name soon to continue their quest.
we should address this issue from this view " Fulani or Northern Supremacy. it is in quest of the Hausa Fulani's to conquer Nigeria to the Atlantic ocean to complete their masters desire who was killed in auchi.
now that they have spread into the south close to the ocean under the disguise of nomadic agriculture commonly called cattle rearing and their kinsman at the top of affairs of the state of Nigeria, they have chosen to act now after he got us into the Islamic state against terrorism signed recently in Saudi Arabia. but is really against terrorism or it for terrorism because to many thing are coming to my head right and I don't want to believe they are so but I can't help it.
so my brothers, we should stand for one another against this buhari's move against the state and people of Nigeria.
think about how he has been silent on this matter and how his kinsman are now armed with assault rifles and brandishing them.
they no longer carry stick meant for Shepard.
