The newly sworn-in Governor of Anambra State and former Central Bank Governor has sent a message to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as well as the group’s security outfit, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
He urged the 2 groups to cooperate with his administration to end the insecurity plaguing the state.
The new Governor made the appeal while delivering his inauguration speech in Awka, the state capital.
He questioned the motives of secessionist agitations and wondered if it was time to revisit the purpose of IPOB and ESN.
According to Soludo, “To IPOB/ESN, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, as well as the disparate armed groups in the forests, it is time to interrogate both the purpose and means of your campaign. To the politicians playing politics with the insecurity, you are riding a tiger.
“The current trajectory is a road to desolation. Let us get around the table and talk. Let the elite in the closet come out, and let’s debate our future and forge a consensus.
“The conspiracy of silence by the elite and some community leaders must end. If you see something, say or do something! Securing Igboland and Nigeria must be our collective responsibility.
“Let those in the forests come out, surrender their guns and let’s work together to rehabilitate and empower you to contribute positively to the peace and prosperity of our homeland.”
