South East Governors have vowed to end IPOB Sit-At-Home.

 

 

Newsonline reports that Southeast governors after the Enugu meeting on Tuesday have declared to do everything possible to end the “sit-at-home’’ order of proscribed Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

 

This online news platform understands that the Governor’s declaration is contained in a communiqué issued at the end of their meeting with stakeholders and made available to newsmen.

 

The meeting was convened by the Ebonyi governor, Dave Umahi and hosted by Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.

 

Reading the communiqué, Gov. Umahi said the governors were worried by the spate of insecurity in the region and condemned the continued “sit-at-home’’ order.

 

Gov. Umahi, also Chairman of Southeast Governors Forum said the governors, southeast leaders and security chiefs condemned the spate of killings in the region.

He assured that the regional security outfit put together by states in the region, “Ebubeagu’’, would be launched to give it teeth and laws passed in all the states to that effect before end of 2021.

 

“The governors and leaders of the southeast condemn killings in the region and have agreed to join hands with security agencies to stop the trend.

 

“We as well condemn the “sit-at-home’’ order by IPOB issued mostly by our people in the diaspora who do not feel the pains.

“The meeting resolved that governors and people of the southeast will do everything within the law to ensure that there is no further sit-at-home and people are allowed to move about freely,’’ Umahi said.

 

The governor said the meeting received a report from Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the flagship socio-cultural organisation in the region, on various matters affecting the southeast, especially on security and marginalisation.

He stressed that the governors would study the report for immediate implementation and engagement with the Federal Government for amicable settlement of issues agitating the minds of the people, especially the youths.

 

“The meeting agreed to support security agencies to restore peace in the southeast as well as to support the Nov. 6 governorship election in Anambra to ensure a peaceful process.

 

“We commend all groups and the clergy for their efforts at interfacing with our youths,’’ he stressed.

 

The meeting also mandated clergymen, the Christian Association of Nigeria, Ohanaeze and traditional rulers to continue to dialogue with youths in the region.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that governors of Ebonyi, Imo and Enugu states and the deputy governor of Abia attended the meeting.

 

Others in attendance were Sens. Ike Ekweremadu, Enyinnaya Abaribe, Tobi Okechukwu, Victor Umeh, clergymen and traditional rulers.

 

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra was conspicuously absent at the meeting, neither was the state represented.
