Apparently peeved by the relentless killings and attacks on communities in
the South-East geopolitical zones, governors of the region have headed to
Abuja to lodge their displeasure to the Federal Government.
It is believed that the governors are not merely on a trip to complain but to
make some definite demands on the presidency concerning the
unchallenged impunities of Fulani herdsmen in the region.
Governor Rochas Okorocha, who returned to Imo State Tuesday from a
medical trip, is said to have rallied his colleagues in the region to action,
describing the killings by the nomads as a national calamity.
While the governors of Imo, Enugu and Abia left for Abuja Wednesday
morning, the governor of Ebonyi State left Tuesday evening for Abuja.
It is not very clear the disposition of Governor Willy Obiano of Anambra
State on the issue as he appears to always distance himself from the
activities of the South-East governors.
For the other four governors of the region, they are evidently pained by
the wanton killing campaigns of the Fulani nomads and are sufficiently
embarrassed and insulted by the fact that in the face of such killings, the
system renders them helpless and unable to protect their citizens.
