So much has been said about the alleged delay of Southeast governors to set up a regional security outfit to contain rising insecurity in the zone. Critics say they created the vacuum that enabled the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to establish its security outfit called the Eastern Security Network (ESN), thus creating unnecessary tension and loss of lives.
They additionally declare governors had been unable to do what their counterparts in the Southwest have performed because of personal or political pursuits.
What such critics don’t know is that the delay may have been because of private disagreements extra than suspected outside strain on them. Sentry learnt, for example, that at one recent assembly in Enugu, governors sharply disagreed over the form of safety outfit that would be excellent for the area.
Sources say considered one of them was so disillusioned with the idea the opposite advanced that he confronted him individually as the 2 made to depart the venue of the meeting.
The other governor, additionally indignant at his colleague’s expressed perspectives, did no longer hide his emotions.
As our source places it, “it became a bitter come upon. Their Excellences exchanged particularly warm words before they left. I can not inform you what they said to every different, however it amounted to shouting at one another. It became all about their extraordinary views on the form of nearby safety outfit that might serve our location higher. While one wanted some thing novel, the other said what he had in his nation was running and must be adopted by means of all within the location.”
But now that General Obi Umahi (retd), leader of the Southeast Security Committee, has said all is set to flag-off the a whole lot-awaited nearby protection outfit, it remains to be visible if the governors have absolutely resolved their differences.
