South East leaders urge other regions to protect Igbo indigenes

…

Reiterate commitment to united #Nigeria anchored on justice, equity, fairness, respect for one another

*To engage violent secessionist youths

Leaders of the South East geo-political zone comprising the governors of the five states, members of the National Assembly, Ministers, Speakers of the State Houses of Assembly, the Clergy and Traditional Rulers, on Saturday, rose from a closed-door meeting at the Government House, Enugu, urging leaders of other geo-political zones in the country to protect Igbos living in their regions.

The South East leaders who made the request in view of what they described as[b] “threats by some groups against our people”, promised to protect everyone, including Igbos and people from other regions, residing in the zone.[/b]

In a communiqué read by the Governor of Ebonyi State and Chairman of South East Governors’ Forum, Engr. David Umahi, the leaders of the zone reiterated their “commitment to one united Nigeria under a platform of justice, equality of rights, fairness, love and respect for one another” .

They explained that the meeting was held “for articulation of our positions and further meet with the Presidential team”, sequel to the earlier meeting with the Presidential delegation, led by the Minister of Defence, Retired Maj. Gen. Bashir Magashi, on June 11, 2021.

The communiqué disclosed that the meeting consequently “set up committees under Ohaneze Ndigbo to articulate and address our positions on all burning issues to further meet among ourselves and thereafter meet with the Presidential team”.

It added that South East leaders condemned the killing of security agents, burning of strategic infrastructure and killing of civilians in South East and in other regions, and requested the security agencies to discharge their duties within the rules of engagement and the law.

The South East leaders also condemned in totality, the activities of violent secessionist groups in the zone and elsewhere, proclaiming firmly that “we do not support them, they do not speak for South East”.

On the impression that South East leaders are silent over agitations for secession by some youths of the region, they stated that “is not correct” , stressing that[b] “South East Governors, Ohaneze President, National Assembly members, notable leader had come out publicly many times in the past to speak against such agitations”.[/b]

The communiqué revealed that South East leaders, in order not to mismanage the unfortunate situation, “have set up a committee to engage such youths to stop and allow elders speak to address such fears”.

On the safety of the Igbo indigenes in other parts of the country and the newly established regional security outfit, etc, the communiqué added that the “meeting directed our Governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo to liaise with indigenes from the northern part of Nigeria and indigenes of other regions to assure that the nation, Nigeria, and their people of their safety in South East.

“The meeting endorsed our South East joint security outfit - Ebubeagu and asked them to work with security agencies and to respect the rights and privileges of all those living in the South East and our visitors.

“We request our National Assembly from the South East to support State Police creation in the on-going constitutional amendment.”

The Committees set up, according to the communiqué, are “Agitation; engagement with other regions; those of our people in the North, South East, South-South and South West; IPOB, MASSOB, Youths and Market people, Okada and Keke; Diaspora; Advocacy; and Diplomatic engagement with Foreign Missions”.

This shows Nigeria is not one.





No body protects Igbo in other regions except God.




Igbos will have their independent so that they can protect it citizen wherever they are.

Na now Una dey wake up?

Hypocrites! So they now agree there are violent secessionists in the South East and will engage them soonest...

When these untrained children where displaying the nihilism in them, almost all the so called leaders kept mute..the likes of Abaribe even claimed it was Fulani herdsmen burning down and looting Government facilities and killing security agents , unleashing never-seen-before terror on innocent people with views contrary to theirs..this is despite the countless evidence all over the internet nailing IPOB...

Now wey be say both the innocent and guilty dey suffer for the crimes of IPOB, the leaders finally found their voices. Una for wait till IDP camps full all the South East states

Shebi you are competing with North East

This strategy is called * Telling them what they want to hear *

HELINUES SHUT UP THERE!!!

Why ask for independence when una never get sense

Protect them as endangered species or what?

So we should fold our arms and watch people that crossed over 1000miles and river Niger to be attacking our leaders, people, businesses and development we laboured for on the order of one man in London simply because they are Igbos.
Anytime you warn Igbos, they will turn the narrative to Igbos are being threatened. But when Igbos plan attack on Yorubas and Lagos, they suddenly go deaf and mute, all of them.

Well, CP Odumosu has done the needful.. if you can't live peacefully and respect your hosts, go back home.

Very hilarious. Charity begins at home. as long as a lot of igbos don't love themselves, it will be hard to make other tribes love them.

, Buhari has said security is everyone's responsibility. Most indigenes haven't even protected themselves gan

Gbam!!
