Former Spokesperson of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu has challenged the governors of Northern states in the country to condemn the activities of herdsmen in the South.
Ibegbu claimed that the governors and personalities from the North are maintaining silence on the situation in some Southern States.
While not supporting the jungle killing of Northerners in Edo State in March, the former Ohanaeze Ndigbo Spokesperson expressed surprise that Northern Governors and notable personalities from the area have not spoken up about the situation in Ondo, Enugu, Ebonyi and some other Southern States where farmers were reportedly killed in their farms by suspected herdsmen.
“The Northern Governors and their notable people should also show concern when killer herdsmen commit atrocities in the South and other parts of the country.
“We cannot build the nation of our dream with this mindset”, Ibegbu said.
He called on President Tinubu to stop his frequent junketing abroad and sit at home to solve Nigeria's terrible economic conditions and hardships.
The Ohanaeze chieftain also advised President Tinubu against appointing anybody with financial crime case as Nigeria's ambassador, warning that such appointments would have negative effects on Nigerian youths whom Ibegbu said “will now see looting and corruption as ladder for future promotion”.
