When criminal Fulani herdsmen were Kaduna terrorizing the country, kidnapping for ransom, killing and destroying farmlands, the South West region of the country responded by setting up a regional security outfit which the region named Amotekun.
The Federal Government objected to the security outfit but all the governors of the six states in the region, with the total backing of all the stakeholders including the traditional rulers, the elders and the youths insisted until it became a reality with the State Houses of Assembly passing the bill to give it a legal backing.

In the South Eastern part of the country, some youths, backed by IPOB, attempted to replicate Amotekun by establishing the Eastern Security Network, ESN. But last week, the five governors announced their regional security outfit which they called Ebube Agu.

…insist on restructuring
By Levinus Nwabughiogu-Abuja
Notable Igbo sons and daughters have begun moves to elicit the support of other regional blocs for the realization of south east presidency project in 2023.
They therefore called on every Nigerian to key into the project, saying time has come for the country to produce its next president from the zone.
The Igbo leaders spoke at the just concluded 6th World Igbo Summit which took place at the Gregory University Uturu, Abia State over the weekend.
Themed “Enduring Future for Ndigbo: Expectations and Challenges”, the Summit was essentially aimed at reawakening the Igbo consciousness and ensuring that Ndigbo become more organized and cohesive, making their voices, demanding for restructuring Nigeria and networking for Nigeria’s presidency of Igbo extraction, loudest.
