Governor of Enugu state yesterday welcomed the members of the House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence in his office who were on an oversight working visit to the state.
They deliberated on security related issues and the Governor reiterated from the start of his administration he decisively banned the illegal and reckless sit-at-home orders hitherto enforced by non-state actors, which had held the people hostage both psychologically and economically.
Sadly, these scoundrels masquerading as freedom agitators have continued to make attempts to undermine security in our state and threaten the livelihoods of our people.
There’s one particular megalomaniac, scammer, and common criminal, who feeds fat on the emotions and sufferings of Ndigbo. He ironically resides with his family peacefully in Finland, a country where the rule of law reigns, but promotes anarchy in our homeland, goading some of our youths to their self-destruction. This is also a business for him. He claims to be fighting for the interest of the Igbo, yet knows nothing about them and has no interest in their well-being.
All he does is create a siege atmosphere and feed on it to sustain a lavish lifestyle, extorting and exploiting our people, many of whom are unaware of his real motives. All he thinks of is how to inflict terror on our people. Otherwise, how can he pretend to love our people, who are known for their hard work and entrepreneurial spirit, while sitting somewhere and dictating when we should go to work and when we should not go to work.
The Governor urge the good people of Enugu State to disregard his latest threats. The Governor said the state has demonstrated the capacity to provide security for our people, and it will continue to do so with the assistance of our security agencies.
The Governor said the state cannot be intimidated or placed under an atmosphere of siege as
he wants to create in the South East that can be treasured with our industry and productivity as a people. The Governor said the agitator in Finland cannot love a people while all he does is at the very expense of the people existence in order to grow followership and gain cheap publicity.
The Governor also called on the young people not to fall for his cheap antics because this is completely antithetical to the Igbo belief system. It contradicts the South East value and violates it norms and work ethics.
The Governor urge the House of Representatives to take up the challenge of ensuring his repatriation to Nigeria to answer to his acts of murder and terrorism in the South East region. In fact , it is surprising that the Finnish Government allows this criminal to reside peacefully in their country while perpetrating terrorism in the South East region.
The Governor implore the Committee to see how this fugitive can be repatriated and brought to justice. Many people have perished as a result of his reckless utterances and actions, and yet he continues in that trajectory. So, we as a nation must act together to put a stop to this tragedy. He doesn’t represent the Igbo interest or whom we are as a people.
