Imo Diaspora Leaders Bemoan Insecurity In South East

– Votes For Harmonisation Of ESN, Ebubeagu

Imo state Diaspora Leadership, an organization of Imo State National Presidents worldwide has expressed worries over the heightened insecurity in the South East of Nigeria, calling for caution and proper Investigation into the root cause of the insecurity.


The group expressed the concern in a statement by its President General, Engr. Sampson Udeh who is also the National President of Imo State Congress of America.

Engr. Udeh condemns in it’s entirety the attack on security formations in Imo State, especially the attack at Imo State Command and the Custodial of Nigeria Correctional Service, Imo State Centre.

His statement: ” We received the news of attack and destruction of operational equipment of the Command with another sad report of a jail break.

“While we condemn the unfortunate incident as such is not justifiable, we call for calm and urge the police and other security agencies to investigate the incident carefully.

“We were also taken aback by the revelation Governor Uzodimma reportedly made, alleging that some disgruntled politicians were the mastermind.

“We call for Investigation into the unfortunate incident and urge our people to always embrace peace, saying that no society progresses amidst insecurity and in absence of peace.

For the controversy over the adoption of Eastern Security Network and Ebubeagu, we are of the view that the leadership must rise to the occasion to ensure that Igbo interest is aggregated and harmonized.

We cannot totally disregard the ESN because the South East Political class led by the Governor’s failed to act and nature took it’s cause because it abhors vacuum.

We call for a security summit where Ndigbo must chart a cause for itself in the area of security and socio-economic Development.

It is time we rose beyond mere talk.

The Imo State Diaspora leadership is for a new Nigeria where there is fair play, equity and justice. With these, the country can be refocused to realize its full potentials.

Meanwhile the group also hailed the effort of Ohaneze Ndigbo led by Professor George Obiozor, calling on them to stand for the will of the people.

Imo Diaspora Leadership also encourage President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo to use his wealth of experience in diplomacy and negotiation to seek way to harmonise between EBUBEAGU Security formation and Eastern Security Network (ESN).
