Ohanaeze Ndigbo has reacted to the fears in some quarters that the newly established regional security unit, EBUBEAGU set up Southeast Governors, and Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra’s Eastern Security Network, ESN, might clash in the nearest future.
According to the apex Igbo social-cultural organization, there would be no conflict between the two outfits adding that they have a common interest of securing the region.
President-General of Ohanaeze, Amb. George Obiozor, who gave the assurance during a press conference said the Federal Government, must as a matter of urgency, make delicate choices that would tackle insecurity across the country or risk loosing its nationhood.
Obiozor further warned those encroaching on lands in the regions to thread with caution as land is a very sensitive issue in Igboland.
“There is no man’s land in Igbo land. Those encroaching are provoking our people and our deities,” he said.
Reacting to comments on why governors of the region established a joint security outfit instead of supporting the ESN, Obiozor said governors of the zone have the mandate to Secure the South East and their decision should be respected.
He, however, said that If the ESN have come out to protect lives in the region, they must corporate with Ebube Agu and not cross boundaries.
“We have common goals and different methods. The governors had thought well before coming up with the security outfit and as such, they should be backed up,” he said.
