The Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) has said that the South-East geo-political zone was not safe to hold its delegates conference scheduled for October 4 in Abia State.

Petrus Obi, NUJ National Vice President, South-East zone, stated this in a statement in Abuja.

He, however, called for a change of venue for the conference to ensure the safety of the delegates and other members who would be travelling from all over the country to participate.

He said, “A glimpse of the security situation in the zone is the ongoing sit-at-home order, which though has been momentarily suspended by the IPOB authorities is being largely complied with by residents and inhabitants anywhere in the zone out of fear for their lives.

“It is on record that Abia, being the home state of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been worst hit by reports of insecurity amidst palpable tension that has enveloped the entire zone.

“The IPOB agitators sustained remonstration of the continuous incarceration of their son and leader Nnamdi Kanu may not have a better opportunity than this being presented by the conference to make a statement.”

Daily Trust reports that October has also been fixed for the court hearing on the bail application of the IPOB leader.

Obi said, “I fear for the lives of the over 1,000 journalists besides other participants, who will be in attendance at the slated conference venue which of course I will not attend because my life is so precious to me.

“It will be in the interest of the revered union and professional body that the conference be postponed and moved to a safer state in the face of security issues in the zone.”

MNK should be released by the zoo terrorist government, that's all what we demanded. The zoo terrrorist government lead by one skeletal idiot from Daura have no right to kidnapped MNK for no reason.

DeltaFire:
IPOB criminal gang is chasing away business from Igbo Nation.

We should expect IPOB gang members to say rubbish like: are we the only ones? And, Is there not insecurity everywhere?. Only devils do whataboutisms to try to justify their evil.

We know Fulani have brought their killer herdsmen and terrorists/bandits to all of us. IPOB gang members are an additional bunch of killers is what we are saying. They are more dangerous than the Fulani ones because they are from the community.

NUJ are not the only ones who are shunning Igbo Land because of IPOB. I know of two weddings that will now happen in late October in Delta instead of in Anambra. NUJ have just voiced out the danger that IPOB gang is. NUJ has just stated the truth.

IPOB gang members: Your agenda to destroy Igbo Land so you can build your mad Biafra in our space will not happen. Ndi Igbo will throw you out of Igbo Land. Go build your Biafra at your UK company headquarters.

The wailing is not loud enough bro, please you need to wail more.

The reason Nigeria is in this state is because of people like you, who leave the real thing but go after the shadow.


You're more concerned about IPOB that is well loved in south east and south south but show less concerned about Bandits, Bokoharam, Iswap, herdsmen that's hated all-over the country.

The day osibanjo came to OGBUNIKE everybody was going about their business....they said nobody even noticed anything is happening


Had it been nnamdi kanu that came to that market.....nkwo nnewi market would have been closed before 11pm and other markets far away

You can take your conference to sambisa forest..they'll be happy to host you
