Worried by the alarming rate of insecurity in the South East states, former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, this morning, June 1, took to her Twitter handle to demand the President to put an end to the dangerous tide in the region.
In her thread, Ezekwesili pointed out that it is wrong and dangerous to confuse the South East with IPOB as they are not the same. She opined that the President mismanaged the IPOB saga that it has degenerated into such a chaotic episode where lives are being cut short in the region.
She appealed to the new Chief of Army Staff, Maj Gen. Yahaya to work towards gaining the trust and confidence of the South East with a video of ending the crisis in the region.
She also condemned the decision of security agents to storm a church in Enugu state last Sunday, May 30 to walk the worshippers out over claims they are members of IPOB.

Today is the beginning of a new month and carries with it the possibilities that our @NigeriaGov can #TakeResponsibility and deescalate the situation NOW.
That video of @HQNigerianArmy @PoliceNG marching worshippers in Enugu out of church is a tragic.
Deploy the Intelligence asset appropriately to locate all criminal actions and transparently disclose the basis of action against such individuals according to the Rule of Law.

All citizens who engage in peaceful agitation act within their Constitutional rights. Protect them.
Demand must be directed to @NGRPresident @NigeriaGov as the legitimate authorities answerable to citizens for the duties thrust on him and the Government he leads by virtue of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
