Spokesperson of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere has called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the security agencies to halt the orgy of killings in Imo State.
He made the appeal yesterday at a press conference on the state of the nation, the attacks on his person and country home, killing of innocent people, and destruction/ bombing of his home, and the need for all hands to be on deck to ensure peaceful, acceptable, inclusive, free and fair general election, in Abuja.
He said Imo is bleeding saying there is a need to unravel those behind the killings in the state.
“Please Imo is bleeding and it is time to look into what is happening in Imo State, starting with the investigation of my case. It will show who is truly behind the killings in Imo State because in Imo today, many bloody activities are covered with the tag of unknown gunmen,” he said.
Ugochinyere also said the political solution to the insecurity in the southeast begins with the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
According to him, it would lead to the identification of those who have genuine agitations and criminals who have taken advantage of the situation to wreak havoc on our people.
“I believe that the political solution to the insecurity in the South East begins with the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Relying on the judgments of Court from the Federal High Court in Umuahia and also the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, the government can release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and begin the healing process from there.
“It will lead to the identification of those who have genuine agitations and criminals who have taken advantage of the situation to wreak havoc on our people. But those who are making billions from the business of insecurity thriving in Imo and South East today will not want to hear this,” he said.
