In his speech enumerating how to ensure rapid development drive within the state and the region, Soludo explained the importance of security in order to drive investments.

According to him, this can only be achieved by ensuring all stakeholders are on board regarding the agenda while questioning the motives of secessionist agitations such as the Indigenous People of Biafra and its military arm, the Eastern Security Network. jamb results

IPOB, a secessionist group pushing for the creation of an independent State of Biafra, has been accused of being responsible for the deadly attacks in the South-east and South-South.

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the group, has been in the custody of Nigeria’s secret police, DSS. He is facing trial for treason.

In order to unravel the rationale for its repeated attacks, Soludo said, “It is time to interrogate the purpose of IPOB and ESN. The politicians using it as a means must come out in order for a consensus regarding our future. The conspiracy of silence by stakeholders must stop. I challenge the group denying the killings to come out and work with my administration in order to ensure peace and security in the state.

“We need Nigeria and Nigeria needs us with our numbers and resources in the Disapora; we don’t need to leave and we will take the various agitations to the Federal Government in order to resolve the disagreement with justice. I am convinced peace will return to the state.”

Soludo also appealed for peace, while reiterating the need for dialogue despite the anger of the Joint Body of South-East Council of Traditional Rulers and Representatives of Igbo Archbishops and Bishops who expressed displeasure over the handling of insecurity in the South-East.

According to them in a March 7 communique, the presidency failed to seek dialogue as a means to end insecurity in the region.

They also faulted governors from the region for refusing to honour calls for dialogue.

“I appeal to the joint council of traditional rulers, the South-East Governors and the Presidency to look at the suggestions in the March 7 tripartite discussions regarding IPOB/ESN. This is necessary for peace,” Soludo said.
