THE South East Senate Caucus yesterday warned against what it termed imminent danger and possible attack on the unity of Nigeria if the Federal Government fails to urgently address the Enugu massacres by the marauding Fulani herdsmen. Rising from an emergency meeting in Abuja yesterday, the Senators not only condemned the attack, which left over 50 persons dead and scores driven out of their homes, they also called for a summit of South East and South South State Governors, members of National and State Houses of Assembly, Socio-Cultural associations, traditional rulers and major stakeholders immediately.

In a statement by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Abia South after the meeting, the emergency summit was put in place to review and evaluate the very scary situation and profer a coordinated response that would ensure the security of lives and properties of their people. According to the caucus, the summit became imperative against the background of the ominous silence and apparent indifference of the presidency over the killings in Enugu, some areas in Delta state and so many other zones in recent time even when there was obvious intelligence reports.

The statement read, “We can no longer sit and watch while our people are daily slaughtered like fowls without even attracting the cursory routine condemnation by the Presidency. “We are even more appalled that despite the alarm raised by the Uzo Uwani Communities of an imminent attack by the fulani herdsmen and the associated vague assurances by the Chairman of Fulani community in Enugu that such attack will not happen, yet the security agencies failed to prevent the attack that happened two days after the alarm.

“It is disheartening what is happening and somebody has to take responsibility. That somebody has to be the institution of the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Time to wake up !

NNAMDI KANU said it that they are coming to kills us, that we need guns n bullets to defend our selves...
All of u evil politicians of south east said he is preaching hate, then connived with Buhari and lock him up....
So why the complain now. The only good u selfish and devilish governors and senators can do us is to press for the innocent man release and subsequently work towards SNC to either restructure or outright freedom or u shut up ur mouths.



lalasticlala.

Why not call an emergency meeting of all the southern states instead of only the ss/se .

southwest has future with the North

yorubas should go there and beg for southern unity not here on NL. They shot themselves on the leg by voting a well known fulani murderer against the advice of the rest of the south, thinking they are safe.

It seems they are beginning to realize how foolish and stupid they are..... well is not yet late for them to wake up from their slumber

Smh. You're still not over GEJ's loss. Guy, even Ijaws have since moved on. Get a grip.

Seems the SESS bloc have left the yorubas to their fate. Afterall yoruba said they were not southerners after buhari won the elections.

Its coming closer

Good riddance,more like it.Don't keep quiet and watch your people become refugees in their own land.A robust vigilante group well arm should be set up round the entire south east and south south regions to checkmate the activities of Buhari herdsmen.A collective voice of the south south and south east people's assembly should kill the grazing bill.President Buhari should be made to realise this country belong to us all and no one is a 2nd class citizen where cows life is more important than.

Hold him...

They should be sincere to themselves and discuss the way forward for their people. Nigeria seems not to be a home for all her people.
The people that you represent have right to life.
Their interest should come first, even if it means Nigeria breaking.

Im happy for this event , ss/se old eastern region comin back again. We need to hav our own internal govt, possibly create create southern security service excluding yoruba pls. Im not tribal but we knw d truth abegii

Declare self defence and provide guns for your people. Anything shot of that is a mere rhetoric's

Good move. The saboteurs should be left out of any meaningful discussion before dem go sell us out again.

MirabelArode:


Hold him...

Your lamentations would be better appreciated at Enugu. Or better still, fast and pray for deliverance . I understand you and your ilk are frustrated about the Enugu massacre, but no point venting your frustrations at Yorubas coz we're not behind the attack (police even blamed one officer by the name 'Corporal Chukwu' as an accomplice to the attackers). So you see, Yorubas are not your problem. Look within. Get the point?

Its better not to bring an ant infested wood into your home to avoid lizardic visitors

My People, My people. Can we just put dis politics aside and work for our collective Good


And to My Governor who went to See De president ................. shaking my Head

One for the agenda should be how to arm your people for self defense.

A welcome development.

There is no unity
anambra folks are better than the other flat.ies
that is why obiano didnt attend the last meeting
obiano has a bigger flat.head than ugwanyi the crybaby
All the senator will just issue ultimatums nothing more
bunch of cowards

Hmm!

Which unity??

Nebuchadnezar:
when we told them that we're United they taught we're bluffing now they're seeing it.
Se/Ss remains together and always allies, we sink or sail together we're not afraid of our enemies nor our oppressors.
Some bigots from the SW that brought these calamity to the southern region won't like this news I told them that nairaland propaganda doesn't even hold 3% weight compare to Twitter and Facebook yet they spend their useless time on nairaland trying their useless DOA propaganda.
by the way where them my friends

Bunch of tribalist fellows !

They have been killing in the middle belt for a while. Why not call a meeting including them?

Why single out just SS/SE amid warnings of 'unity'?
