The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has expressed disappointment over the Southeast Governors’ inaction regarding the worsening security situation in the region.
The group criticized the governors for their failure to effectively engage with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Secretary-General of the group, in a statement on Sunday, condemned the governors’ lackadaisical approach, which he said has allowed figures like Simon Ekpa, currently based in Finland, to manipulate public sentiment and disrupt economic activities with his declarations of lockdowns.
