Give us adequate security, Igbos in the North, FCT tell
Jonathan

Igbos residing in northern part of the country and the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) have said that President Goodluck
Jonathan is rather toying with the proverbial tiger’s tail if he
fails to provide adequate and maximum security for them
before, during and after the general elections in the region.
To this end, the Igbos said that they are considering sending a
powerful delegation to meet with the president to give clear
assurance of adequate protection of lives and property during
and after the election.
Speaking with newsmen yesterday, the newly elected
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Northern States, Barrister Austin Amaechi
said his people had suffered enough killings and humiliation in
recent past in the north.
He said the need to call for caution has become imperative
because it would be foolhardy to subject his kinsmen who are
still alive to similar fate in the event that the election turns
bloody. The newly elected Ohanaeze Ndigbo President for the
entire northern zone was the immediate past Ohanaeze
Ndigbo, Kaduna State chapter President, having defeated Chief
Emmanuel Ezeugo, in a keenly contested election in Suleja,
Niger State, few weeks ago.
Chief Amaechi, advised his people to remain calm in their
respective domains in the region without entertaining any fear
over the forthcoming election. He assured his people of
getting federal government’s nod to provide adequate security
for them.
