A former Director of Operations of the Department Of State Security Services, DSS, Chief Ray Nkemdirim has called for proper management of power-sharing formula in Abia ahead of 2023 especially in strictly adhering to the existing Charter of Equity in the State, noting that efforts must be made to avoid breakdown of law and order, ABN TV reports.

He spoke recently on the topic "Insecurity As A Threat To Development" at an event to mark the 30th anniversary of the creation of Abia in Umuahia.

The security expert insists that clamouring for equity at the centre where the agitation for Igbo Presidency has continued to gain momentum should be seen replicated in the State.

He underlined that South West and South-South have had their slots at the Presidency, maintaining that it is a sense of natural justice to allow the pendulum to swing to the Southeast yet to produce the President in the past three decades.

Chief Nkemdirim said Abia North is in a position to produce the next governor of the state since Abia Central and South have had their turns.

He added that insecurity is fuelled by lack of sense of belonging and an unfair political equation among Nigerian nationals, urging that Abia should work towards averting a bloody clash likely to occur if the next governor of the state is not from the Northern senatorial district.

He called on Abia South and Central to offer support to the North same way the duo received support in the past sixteen years so that the next governor of the state will come from Abia North.

Similarly, he highlighted the clamour of the Isuikwuato District of the State to produce the next Governor of the State. He noted that their agitation was based on the fact that the name ABIA at the time of the creation of the State was coined out of the names of the four districts of Aba, Bende, Isuikwuato, and Afikpo (ABIA).

He said the quest of the Isuikwuato people to be allowed to produce the governor of the State in 2023, since all the other districts had produced Governors of the State, should be given due consideration.

He predicted that anything short of this could precipitate political crisis in the State.

I just learned the origin of the word 'ABIA'. Now that Afikpo is no longer there, should it now be 'ABI'?

Issoright.. just hope everything goes well..

That is what these subhumans in Abia are concerned about when the entire state is in disarray.

Yawn

Na wa o

Charter of equity or is it Charter of incompetence? What's wrong with being black? Why are we so divided? Just imagine the kind of division in a small state like Abia. Division among people of same enthicity.

They kip voting for confused,thieves/ directionless governors.From Kalu to TA orji the chief thieves and this Ikpeazu the renowned Kero,Eba+ reheated Egusisoup . They'll still vote for another cursed Thief.Spit

Rubbish.. nothing good or better to offer the common man

Charter of corruption, injustice and gross incompetence

To all the comments above lambasting this man, what is wrong with being proactive?
Great Insecurity can be prevented if every component part is made to have a sense of belonging in the whole!

There is nothing wrong with rotating power and every composite part have qualified people to government: so there is nothing like subjugating competence.

He has just done what they do in service: give their security briefing and advise and if you like take it, or leave it.

They are obsessed with the north so they want their land to become haven for terrorists. Don’t stop them please. We are packaging them to return to do their biafra together.

Regional or Quota system of producing state and national leaders ought to begin and end at the party levels...

Every major party ought to do its home-work with regards to the best hands or brains from a particular region whose turn it is to lead, and present with wholesome support for election. That's how a democracy is supposed to work.

A party can't fail in her duties in choosing a proper flag-bearer then expect the mass of citizens to fall behind the nuisance they bring forward: Cases in point are APC (Buhari twice for fvck sake) and PDP (GEJ, a national outcast, and Atiku, rejected even by the North).

This is why Igbos must put their houses in order, unite, bring forth their chosen ones who should already be established in the major political parties, then compel the parties to do the needful.

You can't just sit somewhere in isolation and demand that majority should accede to your requests without making efforts towards joining hands.

Ok

You dey yarn dust..

Under go wait till 2030

All of a sudden, all former directors and former heads of Nigerian security apparatuses seem to have found their voices. The other time it was commodore olawunmi, then one other former DSS director from the Middle belt, and now this.

Something is cooking apparently.

Says someone who chooses whom to arrest or break into their houses unlawfully.

Why
