Definitely it’s the time to bring in a Nigerian President of igbo Stock 2023, a new Zik of Africa will emerge.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had studied diligently the circumstances surrounding the establishment of South East Security Outfit and weighed the options of Community policing as a vehicle to proffer solutions to the Zone on insecurity challenges facing Igbos.
“OYC insists that South East Governors are right to opt for Community Policing instead of Regional Security Outfit OGBUNIGWE,after Our Consultative meetings with IgboTraditional Rulers and Youth leaders to review the possibilities and circumstances surrounding the establishment of Security Outfit OGBUNIGWE, Since OYC was the initiator of Operation OGBUNIGWE
“OYC had been informed by powers that be in the southeast,why South East Governors opted for Community policing and suspended the initial support for Regional security Outfit OGBUNIGWE, We urge Igbos to support the decision of the South East Governors as its the best option to tackle insecurity challenges in the South East.
