Prof Nwala resigns as southeast security committee member, faults Umahi’s position on security

Professor Nwala Uzodinma has tendered a resignation notice, withdrawal of his membership from the South-East Security Committee.

The Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF) President, said he took the decision because of the position of the chairman of the committee, Gov. Dave Umahi on the security of the region.

Obinwannem news gathered that the Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum, Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, had abolished the idea of a regional security architecture for the South-East.

Citing in dismay the usefulness of the committee, Prof Nwala said that in place of a Regional Security Scheme for Alaigbo, the governors accepted the community policing program of the Federal Government.

Prof Nwala assured a push up for the security of Alaigbo in general upon his opting out of the now moribund South East Security Committee, stressing that ADF shall continue to work with the various pan-Igbo organizations to advance all possible and legitimate means of ensuring security.

He said: “The governors of the South East jointly rejected the idea of a regional security architecture for the entire South East and by extension, the entire Alaigbo and the fact that the so-called southeast Security Committees set up since early 2020 and after several months, nothing had been achieved, means that it was not intended to serve any useful purpose.”

“As you may recall, the community policing program had been rejected by the South East after the Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF) exposed its inherent character as a policy to encourage the continued serial killing, kidnapping and rape of our women as well as ensure the occupation of Alaigbo by the Fulani Jihadists.

“As you may recall, ADF had compared the policy of Community Policing as equivalent to handing over the Security of Chickens to the Hawks.”
