Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo
Worldwide has called for calm over the worry being expressed in many quarters
on a possible clash between the Eastern Security Network, ESN, an outfit
established by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the about to be
launched outfit by the South-East Governors, Ebubeagu.
The Governors at their meeting in Owerri, the Imo State
Capital on Sunday, announced the formation of the regional security network.
But the development has attracted concerns among the
residents of the zone over a possible clash between the two outfits.
The IPOB has also come out to warn that any operative of the
Ebubeagu who spied on ESN would meet their doom.
Reacting, the Secretary-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro advised against in-fighting, stating that there was need
for a collaboration to protect the region. a
He said Ohanaeze “supports any security attempt or
arrangements that will help Ndigbo to curb the nefarious activities and violent
killings in the Southeast by the murderous extremists- killer herdsmen.
“We accept both the Ebubeagu ‘Security Network’ (ESN) and
the Eastern Security Network (ESN), as both were craftily designed for the
territorial security of Southeast and should be supported by every Igbo man.
“It’s a blessing in disguise that Southeast has two security
networks against a common enemy- killer herdsmen/terrorists.”
He said the organization was aware of “the desperation
exhibited by external detractors trying to foist crisis, distrust the process
and create egocentric tussles between IPOB’s Eastern Security Network and
Southeast Governors’ Ebubeagu Security Network.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo congratulates both the Southeast Governors
and the IPOB on their attempts to forestall further killings and violence in
the Southeast. We will tirelessly enforce understanding and harmony between all
stakeholders in the Southeast on the need for peaceful coexistence between “ESN
and Ebubeagu” in defending territorial integrity of Southeast.”
Security is local, every Igbo man should understand the
perilous situation Igbos are in for. Ohanaeze will stop any rivalry between ESN
and Ebubeagu Security Networks; we will unite them as sister organizations
aimed at solving insecurity challenges in Southeast.
“Ndigbo should support both groups and there should be
synergy with all security formations in the Southeast to end banditry,” he
added.
