David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi state, says some people who
have no interest in the south-east are trying to incite war in the region.
The governor said this on Wednesday when he featured on
Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’.
On Sunday, governors of the south-east region announced the
setup of a joint security outfit, codenamed ‘Ebube Agu’.
They said the establishment of the outfit is a part of
efforts to tackle insecurity in the region.
When asked how Ebube Agu is being communicated to the people
to enable them to take ownership of it, Umahi responded that it did not matter
to him if it inspires confidence or not.
He said citizens need to be careful because there are some
people who are planning to incite war in the south-east.
“The problem of this country is that people will leave their
problems and make your problem their problem. But what some of these people are
doing is to incite the south-east into war and step aside, and we are not going
to buy into that; we’re not going to be deceived again,” he said.
“Whether it inspires confidence or not, it does not matter
to me. What matters to me is that our people will be satisfied with our efforts
in protecting their lives and property. People must be very careful, and know
that there are grand plans by people who have no interest in south-east, to
incite them into war and we are wiser than that.”
