Nigeria business mogul and member of the Board of Trustee (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu has asked the leadership of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to summon a meeting of all retired senior security officers, including the Army and police, of South East extraction to discuss the security of the zone against the background of Boko Haram insurgence that has ravaged parts of the North..
according to him, with the 2015 general election around the corner: “we don’t have to wait until we are attacked before we start discussing security problems.”
Iwuanyanwu, who addressed newsmen at his Glass House in Owerri, where he reacted to a number of national issues, advised that a security committee might be set up to work closely with the five governors of the zone in dictating any sign of security breach and advise on the best way to tackle them.
The PDP bigwig, who also bared his mind on the political activities in the country preparatory to the 2015 polls, contended that every patriotic Nigerian should be more concerned with the unity, progress, peace and prosperity of the country, warning that if the 2015 elections are not properly handled, the situations could deteriorate further to a point that it might be difficult to control.
“I therefore, strongly suggest that since the South-South region has gone four years out of the constitutional eight years, it (South-South) should be allowed to complete the eight years.”
Iwuanyanwu appealed to politicians from South East who he admitted are legitimately and rightly demanding the Presidency next year to subjugate their ambition to the unity, peace and stability of the country by supporting the South-South after which the Presidency would naturally go to the North.
