Umuigbo United Assembly (UUA), an Igbo Socio-Cultural organisation says governors of South East states had the capacity to solve the security challenges in the region if they decide to.

Ezeh said the attacks may not be unconnected to activities of Eastern Security Network (ESN) formed by the leadership of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to address the menace of Fulani herdsmen in the region.
He said governors of South East states should provide a security ought that would serve the interest of the people if they sis not want to support ESN.
“Governors of South East states have disappointed the people in terms of security, it is sad that they have not come together to take a position on the security situation in the region.
“The governors should openly condemn the killing and raping of our women in the farm by herdsmen.
“UUA propose that our governors in South East should meet with those that formed with ESN and agree on how they can possibly adopt the security outfit and if they don’t want to support ESN, let them form a new one that can jointly secure the area just as Amotekun is doing in the South West,” he said.
Also speaking, Chief Raphael Nwadivid, President General of UUA said the giul which was formed on Jan. 2, 2014 was to secure and protect the interest of Igbo people anywhere across the globe.
