Enugu Governor, Peter Mbah Sends Secret Delegation To Sokoto To Plead For Reconciliation With Fulanis
The Governor of Enugu State, Barr Peter Mbah has reportedly sent a secret delegation to the Sultan of Sokoto over the weekend, to seek apology on behalf of the Igbos over their confrontation against the menaces of the Fulani killer herdsmen in the state, and seeking means of settlement and alleged accommodation of the marauding herdsmen in remote areas of the state.
According to the IPOB senior official, Mazi Chinasa Nworu, who communicated this to Family Writers Press International based on intelligence gathering of the IPOB intel unit, the meeting was held in the palace of the Sokoto Sultan, Muhammadu Sa'adu Abubakar III in the company of the state Governor amongst others present in the meeting.
The secret delegates from the Enugu State Governor, were majorly traditional ruler the of Umuopu Autonomous Community, Igwe Cyril Ayogu, and the chairman of the IgboEze North traditional ruler's council respectively.
According to details of the secret meeting, it was agreed upon that the there would be a joint, concerted effort to grant the Fulani herders accommodation in specific/designated areas of the state, in exchange for the cessation of violent attacks against indigenous people and communities in the state.
Recall that Enugu state amongst other South East states bordering the northern region has for years experienced indiscriminate attacks by the marauding herdsmen, with thousands of indigenes, reported dead and many more internally displaced into as a result of their menaces.
The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) movement, which created the Eastern Security Network to curb the terrorist activities of the herdsmen in the South-East region has maintained on its policy of non-accomodation for the Fulani herders in the region, and has overtime warned the political elite in the South-East of engaging politicized actions that would further complicate the security status of the region.
