Nnamdi Kanu's Eastern Security Network is useless to Us, we don't need it - Igbo Governors says

 

Southeast Governors has said that the region does not support the idea of “Eastern Security Network” launched by the Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB.

Speaking to Newsmen, Governor of Ebonyi state, David Umahi, of Ebonyi state and the Chairman of the South-East Governor’s  said the Southeast remains the safest in the entire nation and does not need Kanu’s outfit. Umahi who stated this while briefing journalists in his office in Abakaliki on Friday, urged the people to disregard the purported security outfit, noting that the governors and leaders of the region were doing everything within their powers to protect the lives and property of the citizens and that of those from other regions living in the area. 

He expressed worry that some youths from the region allowed themselves to be engaged for the destruction of lives and property, vowing that leaders of the zone will resist the outfit.

“Our region remains the safest and nobody can controvert this. And so, our brother said he has formed security outfit for the southeast. It is very laughable and should be totally ignored.

“I commend very highly the Southeast Governors. It is only in the Southeast that the leaders are being castigated openly. It is the duty of the Governors to protect the lives of the citizens and also the citizens of other regions living in their states that are not from Southeast. I want them to ignore the side distractions."

“We need to warn that our youths should desist from being engaged for the destruction of lives and property. “During the #EndSARS, this happened in all the states of the Southeast. The Governors of Southeast will no longer tolerate that. We continue to keep our eyes on the ball to ensure that anybody living under our care is protected”, he said
