THE South East Senate Caucus yesterday warned against what it termed imminent danger and possible attack on the unity of Nigeria if the Federal Government fails to urgently address the Enugu massacres by the marauding Fulani herdsmen. Rising from an emergency meeting in Abuja yesterday, the Senators not only condemned the attack, which left over 50 persons dead and scores driven out of their homes, they also called for a summit of South East and South South State Governors, members of National and State Houses of Assembly, Socio-Cultural associations, traditional rulers and major stakeholders immediately.

In a statement by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Abia South after the meeting, the emergency summit was put in place to review and evaluate the very scary situation and profer a coordinated response that would ensure the security of lives and properties of their people. According to the caucus, the summit became imperative against the background of the ominous silence and apparent indifference of the presidency over the killings in Enugu, some areas in Delta state and so many other zones in recent time even when there was obvious intelligence reports.

The statement read, “We can no longer sit and watch while our people are daily slaughtered like fowls without even attracting the cursory routine condemnation by the Presidency. “We are even more appalled that despite the alarm raised by the Uzo Uwani Communities of an imminent attack by the fulani herdsmen and the associated vague assurances by the Chairman of Fulani community in Enugu that such attack will not happen, yet the security agencies failed to prevent the attack that happened two days after the alarm.

“It is disheartening what is happening and somebody has to take responsibility. That somebody has to be the institution of the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Why not call an emergency meeting of all the southern states instead of only the ss/se .
It's like senator abaribe of abia south is very active in the Senate house, have being hearing this name for a while now.

MirabelArode:
yorubas should go there and beg for southern unity not here on NL. They shot themselves on the leg by voting a well known fulani murderer against the advice of the rest of the south, thinking they are safe.

when we told them that we're United they taught we're bluffing now they're seeing it.
Se/Ss remains together and always allies, we sink or sail together we're not afraid of our enemies nor our oppressors.
Some bigots from the SW that brought these calamity to the southern region won't like this news I told them that nairaland propaganda doesn't even hold 3% weight compare to Twitter and Facebook yet they spend their useless time on nairaland trying their useless DOA propaganda.

NormalCodes:
NNAMDI KANU said it that they are coming to kills us, that we need guns n bullets to defend our selves...
All of u evil politicians of south east said he is preaching hate, then connived with Buhari and lock him up....
So why the complain now. The only good u selfish and devilish governors and senators can do us is to press for the innocent man release and subsequently work towards SNC to either restructure or outright freedom or u shut up ur mouths.
