Ohanaeze Speaks On Those Behind Insecurity In Nigeria

In respect to the insecurity situation in Nigeria, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an apex Igbo socio-culture group, on Monday accused some state governors and elite of being responsible for the insecurity.

Chuks Ibegbu, Deputy National Publicity Secretary, stated that governors, elites and the corrupt system in the country has lead to the unemployment of the youth, hence, the high level of insecurity.

Ibegbu in a statement made available to newsmen called on governors to account for the fund allotted for security votes to tackle insecurity in the country.

“We blamed insecurity on the ruling elites and the corruption in the system which has made our unemployed youths to turn into hoodlums and now revenging on the uncaring society.”

“As long as our ruling elites and uncaring government officials fail to take care of the people, so long will everybody be a victim of the incubus they created.”

“The wind they sowed has turned into a whirlwind. They now run to the rail from Abuja to Kaduna and avoid the roads.”

“But in the East, there is no functional rail the elites travel along so they must use the dangerous East-West road or the comatose Enugu – Port Harcourt highway.”

“This is the situation our elites and government officials have created for us all.”

“The only solution is good governance and sincere leadership. Where is the security votes politicians corner for themselves? Some Governors take one billion Naira as security votes without securing anybody.”

“They go with a platoon of security men as some of our elites do to leaving the people at the mercy of armed robbers, ritualists, assassins and kidnappers.”
