The South East Revival
Group (SERG) has described as hate order, the marching directiver by
President Muhammadu Buhari to service chiefs to crush the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), reports ITRealms.
In its reaction to the directive, the group in a
statement signed by its National Coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu strongly
condemned the order, saying it was part of plans for ethnic cleansing in Igbo
land.
The reaction came at
the Weekend after an emergency meeting by the central executive of the
socio-political organisation in Enugu.
The statement added
that "it is worrisome that a non-violent body like the IPOB should be
included in an order to crush violent groups and criminal gangs.
"For us in the
SERG, this directive is clearly a hate order, targeted against the people of
South East and part of a plot to begin ethnic cleansing in Igbo land.
"Rather than
support the on-going effort of South East Governor's Forum to address the
development challenges in the zone, the President Buhari administration has
again openly displayed its hatred to the people of the zone.
"Unarmed Igbo
people of the South East have been killed, many more injured under the
president government for holding an opinion. That is war against humanity.
"We call on the
federal government to urgently address the development deficit in the South
East region, which is the reason for the renewed agitation in the region.
"The South East
is the only zone in Nigeria with the five states and the only part of the
country with little or no federal presence.
"We also urge the
President Muhammadu Buhari administration to order the Federal Ministry of
Power, Works and Housing to begin massive rehabilitation of federal roads
across the South East zone.
"We believe that
it’s time to end the shedding of innocent blood and sowing of seeds that fan
the embers of disunity to preserve the country as one indivisible entity",
the group stated.
