No going back on Eastern Security Network — IPOB
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has made it known to the Federal Government of Nigeria, South-East and South-South governors, and security agencies that its newly established Eastern Security Network, ESN, has come to stay.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful entitled: “Stop terrorism first before attempting to stop ESN,” IPOB described the statement allegedly credited to Governor Dave Umahi on behalf of his colleague governors as one coming from a lilly-livered people.
The group claimed that the governors by their statement against ESN were only further exposing their emptiness and detachment from the people.
“At a time when well-meaning individuals and groups from the entire Southern Nigeria and Middle Belt are hailing the setting up of ESN, the so-called governors are busy advertising their opposition to the people they claim to be leading. Anyway, they never had the mandate of the people. So, we are not surprised.”
“Our message to the treacherous South-East governors and their South-South counterparts is that ‘the train has since left the station’ and can’t reverse it’s course. It’s pretty too late to have a rethink. The people have got what they long desired which the cowardly governors failed to give them because of selfish political interest.
“May we remind the traitors that the Eastern region cannot be sacrificed on the altar of their political interest. It’s either they key in or shape out! The East can exist without them. They should steer clear because they can’t withstand the force behind ESN, the statement reads in part.
What you (nnamdi kanu) did is part of of positive contribution to the state and the region at Large but you need to trend softly with your governors.
Without the assent of the State governors in the region through the house of assembly the security outfit you established won’t stand.
You need to trend softly with those involved because with this argument nothing good may not come out from it and the federal government may also proscribe it.
Both of you should work together and look for ways on how to move the country forward because the way those bandits, kidnappers and also terrorists are operating in the country is alarming.
We are watching with keen interest to see how it goes
I hope this is not mere propaganda…o
Let it be that the groom is not an hoodlums but that which we help in this to enhance security measures in the country
No going back, I surport that.
It’s good to be security conscious…. But you have to it by the law of the country….
My problem is not whether you people are going back or not My prayer is that let it be that the Eastern security are for real and not to cause community insecurity in the country
