An Open Letter to the Governors of the South Eastern States: A Call for Leadership and Action
Your Excellencies:
Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo (Anambra State), @CCSoludo
Senator Hope Uzodimma (Imo State), @Hope_Uzodimma1
Dr. Alex Otti (Abia State), @alexottiofr
Barr. Peter Mbah (Enugu State), @PNMbah
Rt. Hon. Francis Nwifuru (Ebonyi State), @FrancisNwifuru
With the utmost respect, I write to you, the elected leaders of our cherished Ala Igbo, as a concerned Igbo citizen, a witness to the pain and suffering of our people, and an advocate for peace, security, and progress in our region.
The South East of Nigeria, a land rich in history, culture, and resilience, is bleeding. Insecurity has become the unfortunate daily reality for Ndi Igbo, with lives lost, properties destroyed, businesses paralysed, and communities living in perpetual fear. From the gruesome attacks on innocent villagers to the frightening rise in kidnappings, armed violence, and lawlessness, the question many of us are left asking is this: why are our leaders silent?
Where Is the Leadership?
Your Excellencies, you were elected not just to govern but to lead, protect, and serve the interests of the people. The insecurity ravaging the South East is not just a humanitarian crisis; it is a complete breakdown of trust in governance. Your silence and perceived inaction on these issues are deafening.
Why are you not speaking out? Why are you not acting decisively, both individually and collectively, to address the insecurity plaguing Ala Igbo? The cries of our people echo through the hills of Udi, the streets of Onitsha, the farmlands of Ohafia, and the markets of Owerri. Yet, there seems to be no coordinated effort to find a lasting solution.
A Call for Collective Responsibility
As individual governors, you have the power to make changes within your states. However, this insecurity is not confined to one state - it is a regional crisis. It calls for a unified response. Why have the five South Eastern governors not come together to declare a state of emergency on insecurity? Why is there no regional security framework in place to combat these challenges?
States like the South West have taken bold steps with initiatives like Amotekun, yet the South East remains fragmented. What stops us from forming a similar force? Is it politics? A lack of vision? Or have you simply given up?
Our people are tired of excuses. They demand results.
The Consequences of Inaction
Your Excellencies, the failure to address these issues head-on has far-reaching consequences:
Economic Decline: Investors are fleeing, and local businesses are shutting down. The South East, once the industrial hub of Nigeria, risks becoming an economic wasteland.
Erosion of Trust: Your silence erodes the trust Ndi Igbo have in you as leaders. When leadership fails, people turn to alternatives, some of which may lead to further chaos.
Loss of Lives and Heritage: Every life lost diminishes us. Every village destroyed erases a piece of our heritage.
What Must Be Done?
Unite for a Regional Security Agenda: Convene an emergency meeting of all South Eastern governors to develop a unified and actionable security strategy.
Empower Local Vigilantes: Support community-based security initiatives with proper training, funding, and oversight.
Engage the Federal Government: Advocate collectively for increased federal resources in the region.
Speak to Ndi Igbo: Address your people directly. Let them know you hear their cries and are working on solutions. Transparency and communication will rebuild trust.
Invest in Youth Empowerment: Unemployment and disillusionment among the youth feed into insecurity. Create opportunities that channel their energy into productive ventures.
Your Legacy Is at Stake
Your Excellencies, history will remember what you did - or failed to do - during this critical period in Ala Igbo. The responsibility of restoring peace and progress rests on your shoulders. Do not allow political distractions, personal ambitions, or external pressures to hinder your duty to Ndi Igbo.
The Igbo people are not strangers to adversity, but we have always risen above challenges because of our resilience, unity, and strong leadership. You have the power to restore that legacy. Use it.
We are watching, waiting, and hoping for action.
Ya gazie.
Sincerely,
Nkechi First
@masafikingsley@NwekereNdoki The house EFFC seized from Chimaroke nnamani Peter Mbah converted it to Enugu international Hospital.

Behold....... Enugu is transforming before our very eyes.
I am already imagining what that hotel will do to Enugu Skyline when completed.
Indeed, Mbah is a visionary leader.
People like him will fit to be a regional president/leader.

Why is Otti this vindictive about this project?
Must everything be his ideas?
I think EEC needs to use the media to to put this on public notice.
We can't be doing new Abia with this kind of mindset
EEC gave Aba the 24hrs power it enjoys now... Why is Otti clogging the wheel?
I read this almost teary.
It's sad our people are very ignorant and any small thing makes them forget the bigger picture.
I understand we are coming from bad governance, but we must continue to demand the right things are done.
Later someone will say they sponsored PDP and Obasanjo in 1998/1999 elections.
This is a very recent interview of OUK saying that he brought out N500m cash at the time to sponsor PDP and if it’s a company he will own at least 80% shares.
Please watch the full interview on NewsCentral TV.
