The police are carrying out special operations in the South-East and North-West regions of the country to decimate the activities of insurgents such as the Indigenous People of Biafra, Eastern Security Network and bandits.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who revealed this in an interview with our correspondent, said the operations are being carried out in conjucntion with other military operatives.

Adejobi said, “We have made adequate deployment to the South-East and the North-West. Immediately the president unveiled the anti-riot equipment last week, they were deployed, and that was about the third deployment of equipment nationwide.

“Also, the Imo State governor recently bought some APCs and other weapons, and that’s why you can see that the activities of IPOB in the state have gone down. In fact, their activities had gone down in most of the cities in Imo because the governor was proactive by getting those equipment after he consulted the IG.

“Now IPOB and ESN activities are becoming prevalent in Anambra, with incidents happening frequently these days. But the CP had consulted the IG, and we’re hopeful that things will improve there.

“So, we urge the governors of other states in the South-East too to meet with the IG, they could do it per state or per the entire region, and the IG would advise them on how to go about solving similar problems in their states.

Mylove55:
is it by mouth in the street,
We are talking about reality

Mylove55:
Obi.diot will not get 25% in River state

KillSars:
Just like OUK said, the east dey play politics with emotions, they need to start playing practical politics..

Everything no be nzogbu zogbu

dustmalik:
You still don't get it, do you? Any online poll you conduct today, Obi will always win, no matter whose timeline you conduct it.

If you recall correctly, in 2019, Buhari lost all polls, online and offline. In fact, when Buhari was pit against a Stone, the stone won with landslide.

Come Saturday, when votes start to trickle in from all over the country, reality is going to set in.

I expect to be insulted, as is now usual.

QuotaSystem:
Nigeria is also the only country in entire sub-Saharan Africa that has people that think that a largely polygamous population would be less than a monogamous population.

stuffs2002:
No IIGBOS will ever rule this country.. Know this and know peace

youngdad:
I don't know how to insult people, because I was not brought up that way.Abuse and insults matters nothing to me.But you will remember this post on Saturday evening.Am over 12years on this forum,it's just a pity that the standard has fallen.
I don't even pray that my children in higher institutions should abuse anybody in a faceless forum like this.
If you don't like a topic or thread simply move on.

sweetjohn:
As it is now, the problem of Peter Obi is not North, he has conquered north. It's not south west, he has conquered south west to some extent. And it's not South south and Edo, those guys are 100% Obidient. His major problem now is South East and it's a serious call for concern. Simon Epka may just be the reason Nigeria dream of having a good president not to be realized.

God pls, do something in south east.

Danjuma has no grip anywhere anymore. Taraba state is heavily atikulated

The National Christian Elders Forum, being piloted by a former Minister of Defence, General Theophilus Danjuma, and other elder statesmen, has endorsed the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi for the February 25 elections.

According to them, the reports that some regions were preparing to unleash violence during the elections should not be taken lightly.

While calling on the Federal Government not to spare efforts to prevent violence during the elections, the nationalists urged Nigerians to shun politics of religion and tribalism.

They called on Nigerians to vote candidates into offices based on capacity, ability, integrity, and good health because, “a sick country requires hearty leaders.

The Christian elders bared their minds in a statement titled, “Resolutions towards 2023 elections: Think new”, signed by its chairman Dr. Samuel Gani and Secretary, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, obtained by The PUNCH in Abuja on Tuesday.

Members of the NECF included Dr. Saleh Hussaini, Vice Chairman (North), Elder Shyngle Wigwe, Vice Chairman (South), Mrs. Osaretin Demuren, Prof. Joseph Otubu, Dr. Kate Okpareke, Dr. Ayo Abifarin, Gen. Zamani Lekwot (retd), Hon. Justice James Ogebe (retd), and Elder Moses Ihonde.

Others are Hon. Justice Kalajine Anigbogu (retd.), Elder Nat Okoro, Solomon Asemota (SAN), Elder Matthew Owojaiye, DIG P. L. Dabup, Sir John W. Bagu, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Dame Priscilla Kuye, Prof. Deborah Ajakaiye, His Royal Majesty Oba Dokun Thompson, and Dr. Taiwo Idemudia.

The statement read, “In view of the need to ensure that democracy survives in Nigeria and the culture of corruption, incompetency, lawlessness, and impunity, which assailed the country in the past 24 years is eradicated, NCEF encourages Nigerians to think new.

“Nigeria requires new leaders, new methods, new policies, and new political parties. In view of the above for equity, justice, inclusiveness, and unity to produce the preferred future for Nigerians.

“The National Christian Elders Forum is endorsing Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party as the Presidential candidate to be voted for. NCEF encourages all Nigerians of voting age to exercise their civic duty and ensure that they vote for capacity, competency, integrity, and good health. Nigerians, think new!”

They further disclosed Nigerians are beginning to attach premium importance to capacity and integrity rather than the primordial emotional choices which afforded unqualified and incompetent people access to leadership positions.

“NCEF commends the Federal Government for taking steps to curb vote-buying during the 2023 elections. While the policy of currency change has brought some inconvenience to the people, the long-term benefit should be appreciated. It is crucial that vote-buying must be prevented at all costs to prevent unqualified and incapable persons from bribing their way into power,” it added.

The NCEF reiterated the call to all Nigerians that the next elections should be about national integration, national reconciliation and national unity that would lead to social, economic, and physical infrastructural development for the benefit of all and sundry.
