CNPP Calls For Truce in Ongoing Crises Rocking Nsukka Zone.

Peace and security is an essential factor of human life. A peaceful and secure environment is critical to
every society since it affects all aspects of economic and social development in a society, and is a necessary sin-qua non and panacea for the realization of prosperity and enduring democracy in a giving society.

The fact remains that, no society can develop or grow economically without a peaceful coexistence among its populace hence the call from Enugu State Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) to worrying parties in Nsukka and Udenu local governments to embraces peace and find a way of settling their differences without resorting to endangering human lives and destruction of properties.

In a release issued by the state Chairman of the body. Chief Adonis Igwe, CNPP maintained that there can not be any meaningful development achieved thru violence and rancor, therefore the body is advising anyone or group of persons fueling the crises to have a rethink as peace can only be achieved on a round table and not thru violence.

CNPP stated that though, the crises in Nsukka and Udenu are purely PDP issue but CNPP being a responsible body whose greatest interest is for a peaceful coexistence of all political parties including the PDP in the state, as well as the development and well being of the people of Enugu state, is worried by the continued protest and its negative implication on the lives and property especially disruption of business activities which is of no one's benefit and warn anyone who is benefiting from this to embrace peace and settle whatever be the issue. The CNPP boss pointed out that, though is the right of the people to protest but said that protest should be the last option and should be done in a way that will not threaten the ongoing peace and development program in the state adding that, this is why the law courts are set up to take our complains.

He advise all the key stakeholders in the crises to find a common ground which will gear towards peace and understanding in the area. According to him, It is important to note that promoting peace and sustainable development reduces poverty and prevents conflict, translating to a healthier business environment that allows for a more effective delivery of democratic dividends to the people.

He called on the security agents to be up and doing and encourage them to be on top of the situation while assuring the people of the state that CNPP is closely monitoring the development.
