The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday,
restated that its security outfit, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) would not
identify with the newly established Ebubeagu.
Recall that the five governors in the Southeast
recently launched Ebubeagu as a security outfit for the region to tackle the
increasing rate of insecurity.
Some concerned Nigerians particularly from the Southeast
have called for the merge of the two security outfits for the benefit of the
region.
However, in a statement issued on Monday by its spokesman,
Emma Powerful, IPOB described the call as unreasonable, stressing that light
and darkness can not work together.
The statement reads in part: ”We have noted with keen
interest, the genuine calls by some eminent Igbos for collaboration between our
gallant Eastern Security Network, ESN; and the ghost Ebubeagu security network
recently floated by the Southeast governors. We have equally noted similar
calls by some self-acclaimed but unreliable Igbo elders and Ohanaeze
chieftains.
“But we have a simple question for them all: can light and
darkness work together? We all knew the circumstances that gave birth to ESN.
It was when the governors woefully failed to stand with the people who were
being raped and slaughtered daily by Fulani herdsmen and jihadists that our
leader, based on the yearnings by the people established ESN to save the
situation. And ever since then, the narrative has changed.
