The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday, cautioned Governor Charles Soludo to stop playing politics with security in the state.
This is as IPOB accused Soludo of being desperate for a second term, hence his decision to succumb to pressure from ‘Fulani hegemony’.
In a statement issued by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB lamented that the “nefarious activities of the Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen in Anambra State, especially within Dunukofia, Awka North, South, Orumba North, and South Local Government Areas is unbecoming.”
IPOB charged residents of Anambra State to rise and fight all forms of insecurity in the state.
IPOB wrote: “Desperation for a second term has made Prof. Soludo succumb to pressure from the Fulani hegemony.
“All well-meaning people of Anambra should RISE UP NOW! and stop Arthur Eze before he turns Anambra State into a slaughterhouse just like Southern Kaduna.
“We are also warning the Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his government to stop playing politics with the security of Anambra indigenes and Biafra people.
“Gov. Soludo must stop the likes of Arthur Eze from endangering Anambrans for his selfish economic interests. We remind Gov. Soludo that politics for a second term must not be played with the lives of Anambra residents.
“The Fulani terrorists aka herdsmen menace in the South East must be checkmated by ESN irrespective of State Government and Federal Government’s sabotage.
“The unwarranted attack against ESN by the Joint Task Force of Nigeria Security while countering Fulani herdsmen destruction of farmlands on Saturday 20th April 2024 should not repeat. ESN will not fail to retaliate against any attacks if provoked. ESN will do everything necessary to protect Biafrans and Biafra Land.”
