Desist from making provocative utterances,NUF warns Uzodimma, Soludo




Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State and his Anambra State counterpart, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo,  have been warned to desist from utterances capable  of escalating the already volatile situation in the two States.


The Ndigbo Unity Forum (NUF) in a statement recently after their meeting  in Enugu cautioned both Governors to refrain from heating up the already tensed up security situations in the two States  with their  " reckless and unguarded statements which led to the  renewed killings of some security operatives and burning down government facilities recently".


The group condemned what they described as "despicable killings of unarmed two Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the injuring and burning of government property  by Unknown Gunmen.


They however said this escalation of violence could be traced  to the unguarded statement about  the Monday's Sit- at- home which they said has been abolished and asked Federal  Government to deploy more security men in the State to deal with unknown gunmen.


The group said in the statement signed by Dede Uzor A Uzor :"NUF has after her general meeting in Enugu State yesterday comdemned the atrocious and despicable killings in the South East and advised our leaders to stop making an unrguraded remarks that provoke these boys to  anger as this would risk the lives of security operatives and jeopardise and fragile security in the South East".


In the statement  NUF warned  that instead our leaders should meet with Aso Rock officials,  seek a political solution on how to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other political detainees who have  been languishing in respective government security  facilities across the country.


The Federal Government, said the group, should  provide  compensation to Igbo youths killed and victims including security operatives killed during the ongoing atrocious incidents.


But they said this should come after  setting up a Judicial Commission of enquiry  to look into the circumstances and remote cause or causes  of the ongoing security challenges with a view  to  addressing it as soon as possible. 


NUF urged Uzodimma and Soludo to adopt  diplomatic strategy of an elder Statesman, Chief Mbazuruike Amechi and other Igbo leaders  who had intervened with the president Muhammadu Buhari to seek for  the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally.


The group  called  on all our leaders to immediately convoke an All Inclusive South East Security Summit (ASESM) within 14 days which  would involve all the stakeholders, including non -state actors to  thoroughly address the ongoing security challenges in the zone  as well as restore peace in Ala Igbo.


"Our youth which constitute the greater part of our population have no job, efforts should be made on  how to engage about 5 million youth ( one  million in each 5 South East State)  with a startup salary of  fifty thousand naira (N50.000) each person per month". 


They said most of these youths have no source of income, making them vulnerable and prone to be used by dubious political godfathers.


NUF advised  Governors of South East zone  to channel their bogus and exploitative monthly security votes  amounting to billions of naira  in  engaging the youth in their respective states


Alternately, said NUF, they can engage one  million youths each  in  projects on their respective States  which should be immediate because of the urgency of the situation. 


NUF warned that any Governor who refused  to adopt this project would be marked as an enemy  of the Igbo youths, Dede Uzor cautioned
