Ndigbo knock South East governors over delay





The idea of floating a regional security outfit by the South-East governors has been in the pipeline for over one year now but no tangible effort seems to be on board to set up the outfit.

The delay has prompted the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to claim to have floated what it called Eastern Security Network, ESN, to protect the forests and bushes in the South-East against the destructive Fulani herdsmen and other criminal elements. Although the governors did not welcome the idea, IPOB claims that the outfit has started guarding the forests and bushes in the South-East.

The question is; when will the South- East governors come with the much needed regional security outfit to secure the region in the face of the growing state of insecurity in the country? Even the Gen. Obi Umahi-led South-East Security Committee charged with responsibility of midwifing the outfit said only the governors can explain why the outfit has not taken off.

According to Gen. Umahi, for the regional security outfit to be effective, all the states Houses of Assembly are supposed to come up with legislations as they affect the network.

"The question is; when will the south east governors come with the much needed regional security outfit to secure the region in the face of growing insecurity in the country"? Who are they going to recruit since all men and women are volunteering to join MNK' s ESN? Even if they managed to recruit people due to so much unemployment, will those men and women not be seen as enemies of ESN that have 99% backing of Ndigbo? Security outfit in south east is no longer much needed because we have ESN that have come to stay.
