COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF AN EXTRAORDINARY MEETING OF THE SOUTH EAST CAUCUS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY HELD AT THE APO LEGISLATIVE QUARTERS, ABUJA, RESIDENCE OF THE FORMER DEPUTY PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, SENATOR IKE EKWEREMADU, ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2021


The South East Caucus of the National Assembly held an extraordinary session on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, to review developments in the South East, particularly (a) The security situation in the region vis-à-vis the sit-at-home orders and (b) The detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Rising from the meeting, the Caucus:

1. Expressed solidarity with our people of the South East over the marginalisation of the region in the scheme of things within the Nigerian commonwealth. The Caucus feels the pains of our people and their quest for equity, justice, and protection of their lives and property in every part of the country. The Caucus, therefore, resolved to continue to fight for a level-playing ground and an enabling federal system where Ndigbo are able to develop their homeland at their own pace and equally pursue their happiness and actaulise their enormous potentials in every part of the country, unmolested.

2. Reviewed the sit-at-home orders by the IPOB and the mayhem some nefarious elements have seized the opportunity to visit on the lives, properties, and psyche of our people. The Caucus equally reviewed and rued the incalculable economic losses and hardships these have brought upon our region.

3. Resolved to condemn in strongest terms the disruption of the ongoing Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination in some parts of the South East, particularly the incident at Comprehensive Secondary School, Nkume, Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State, where the English examination organised by the West Africa Examination Council, WAEC, on Monday, September 13, 2021, was ruthlessly scuttled by armed men, who chased away the students, teachers, and examiners before setting ablaze motorcycles belonging to the teachers. This is certainly not who we are as a people. On the contrary, we are a people, who have always cherished and encouraged learning from the ages. We are a people that fully appreciate the place of education in the liberation and enlightenment of the human mind and the socio-economic and political emancipation of a people.

4. Equally condemned in strongest terms the incessant killings in the South East. This must stop immediately. We call on the security agencies to unravel the culprits behind these wicked acts and ensure that they are brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others.

5. Noted with delight that IPOB has called off the Monday sit-at-home order and resolved to ensure that nobody uses them as façades to bring ruination on Igbo land.

6. Call on our people to go about their lawful businesses and enjoin our governors and the security agencies to rebuild confidence in our people by not only ensuring the security of their lives and properties, but also ensuring that our people feel safe as they undertake their legitimate businesses.

7. Elaborately discussed the issue of Mazi Nnamdi and resolved to intervene. To this end we resolved to set up a committee to constructively interface with relevant stakeholders, the Federal Government and its relevant agencies towards finding a political solution. We will keep Ndigbo abreast of developments in regard.

8. Appeal to our people not to allow anyone to destroy the South East region. The post-war South East was not built through government patronage, but largely by the sheer determination and sacrifices of our people, who refused to resign to fate or bow their heads in defeat. It is in Igbo land that you easily find hospitals, schools, roads, and other social amenities built by individual or communal efforts of the people, home and abroad, through the instruments of the town unions and other community organisations such as the age grades, Umuada, etc. The result is the comparative transformation witnessed in every nook and cranny of Igbo land post-civil war. Therefore, as a people, we cannot begin to undermine ourselves or become our own nemesis.

Times like these call for introspection. We must also always bear in mind that our people thrive on industry, commerce, and the informal sector. Importantly, most of our people depend on daily income. Therefore, while we must fight for our rights and legitimately express our displeasures over every form of mistreatment, injustice, and inequity, we certainly cannot afford to be the proverbial lizard that ruined his mother’s funeral. Anything that threatens Igbo businesses, the peace, security, and stability of the South East threatens our very existence as a people. Consequently, bearing in mind that if we allow cracks in the wall, lizards will invade our home, we must all pull together as one people to discourage and resist any tendencies and actions, within or without, which pollute our business environments or encourages anarchy and instability in our region.

9. Finally resolved to join hands with other patriotic Nigerians across regional, religious, political, and ethnic divides to reconstruct a federal system where our rights, happiness, and prosperity and those of our unborn generations are guaranteed.

Signed

All Members of the South East Caucus
National Assembly

Buhari will soon bow to pressure. NK is bigger than Nigeria

After insulting them and telling his boys to beat them up anywhere outside the border of Nigeria and if they see them in his carved-out Biafra Niche and kingdom they should be Assassinated.
In Ala igbo we say ikwowa uka kwu fuo maka mgbe aga emezi.

Nobody should intervene in NNAMDI KANU case i repeat nobody should intervene in terrorists case. DSS should arrest anyone or group of people that attempt to intervene quickly

Way to go. If u say d sit at home wasn't audacious then u need brain resetting. In Nnamdi Kanu d spirit of Biafra remains evergreen. The only joy is seeing Abaribe in that meeting cos in him we see total inclination towards d wishes and aspirations of Biafrans. Thanks all the same for realising that Ohamadike no be chewing gum

For their own good o.
For us, we 'v decided, 'we the wont sleep and likewise all efulefu elders wont.

Echi di ime if you dont know

BiafIntel:

FULANI BORORO, GET OUT FROM THIS THREAD. YOUR REGION HAS SHARIA, DISEASE-RIDDEN, LIMB CUTTING, ILLITERATE, LEPROSY, POVERTY PROBLEMS. GO AND JOIN YOUR PEOPLE IN FINDING WAYS TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.

is that all

This is why some of us tacitly support IPOB sit at home even though we know it’s hurting businesses.

We know it will get to this point where the political class can no longer bear the shame and they will stop to be saboteurs but make sincere efforts towards the release of MNK.

But zombies, who have pap for brain, can’t see this. They will be here foaming in the mouth as if they care for Southeast.

Ndi Ala ndi ala!

BiafIntel:

JUST 1/1MILLION OF YOUR ILLITERATE PEOPLE'S PROBLEM.

is that all

Speaking in tongues simple because you want to claim to be an igbo person, anyway, a true igbo sons and daughters are very easily to forgive his/her fellow igbo person, we don't behave like the yorubas, who in conjunction with the Hausa Fulanis killed their brother Abiola

Why are the APC senators missing in the meeting?

Is this not the same communique that udele AKA Ijelespeak was twisting in his thread to deceive himself.

BiafIntel:

YOU CAN REPEAT THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..... AND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!?!!! ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
