President Muhammdu Buhari and governors of Igbo extraction have been urged to sit up and confront insecurity and ASUU strike headlong.
The President General, Igbo World Union, IWU His Imperial Majesty Amb. Dr. Mishak Nnanta, handed down this advice on Sunday in his Olokoro Umuahia South country home while interacting with newsmen, stating that Nigeria is a country blessed by God.
“In what happens in Nigeria, it seems that of Abia is worst. In Igboland, it seems the state governments don’t want to put itself together to speak and act with one accord and get the forward plans that will be to the benefit of the people in terms of security”.
“Today, the Yorubas and Amotekun is pulling weight and capturing those that go into their forests. But in Igboland, where do you see Ebubeagu? It seems we don’t see the lion we named. It is good we jointly acquire what will have to protect ourselves. It looks as if we are empty handed in the bush”.
On if the administration of Buhari at the federal level and Ikpeazu at the state level is doing enough in terms of security, Nnanta said “PMB is trying as a President but his trying is not enough as he has the powers to use the military to fight insecurity. If any security agency is not doing well, make some changes to enable him fight insecurity. When people are kidnapped, abductors use the phone to make contacts for ransom. We are we being told that the security agencies can track peoples businesses, yahoo boys and others. Why can’t they track the kidnappers?
“When the ransom is to be dropped, the police at the junction will allegedly collect their own. Where the ransom is being taken to is not the spirit world, but where human beings live. Why can’t we use the jets and killed these people? It looks somehow. The President should sit up in terms of security which is now out of hands to save Nigerian masses. We all are now confined”.
Similarly in Abia state, Nnanta noted “Gov. Ikpeazu should sit up to enable the state look into security issues before it is too late, especially with the formation of home Security ministry and the existence of other security outfits in the state. Otherwise, with the prevalent insecurity like in Umunneochi/Isuikwuator areas, there might not be election in Abia State”.
Speaking on the issue of ASUU strike, Nnanta said the issue is now a disease to be cured with Ampicilin since APC cannot cure it. “You cannot tell me that this type of thing exists and the federal government will not look into it, but went ahead to buy vehicles for other countries. That money should have been used solve the problem on ground.
“The strike affects our children and breeds cultism. These children have been pushed to the wall because they now use their phone to browse bad and cult sites. The government should remember that if it is at this level they schooled, they wouldn’t have achieved anything. There is no way that anyone will use eight years to do a course of four years, it doesn’t make any sense.
“Parents are also weak. Any parent who has plans to train the child for four or five years, but the child ends up spending more than that, before you know it, the child will go off-hand and become something else. The federal government should sit up and put its house in order and see how to end the ASUU issue and get back the children to school immediately. This can be settled in within one week”, Nnanta concluded.
