Security: Nnamdi Kanu Promises To Work With South East, South-South Governors

Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu on Monday expressed his willingness to work with southeast and South-South governors and other elected House members in the struggle to liberate the region from security threats.

Kanu said he decided to extend hands of fellowship to the governors and other elected members from the zones because IPOB had been accused at various times of reluctance to reach out to the elected political class in the crucial project of liberating Igboland from the vicious and deadly grip of Fulani herdsmen.

According to him; “It is against this background to collectively protect our communities at this auspicious moment that we now feel compelled to bury the hatchet and reach out to you to bring your good offices to bear.

“I am therefore by this communication extending hands of fellowship to you while inviting you to advert your minds to your obligations to live up to your constitutional duties and responsibilities in initiating laws and policies that will impact positively on our people, especially in regard to the security of lives, property, and protection of our borders against those that levy terror on our people.”

He urged the state legislators in collaboration with the Governors to, as a matter of extreme urgency, pass legislation that will engender coordinated security outfits to tackle these menaces.

“IPOB is committed to assisting in this regard if called upon to do so. You can take umbrage in the fact that you are the ones possessing the constitutional mandate to initiate economic and social policies for our region in a way that will even encourage Biafran entrepreneurs in the diaspora to look homewards.

“Your intervention is much more urgent because of the portent existential political and economic threats to our collective existence,” he added.

He assured that “for as long as the interest of our people remains paramount in all your official reckonings, the IPOB shall remain amenable to consulting with you, going forward.”
