Chukwuma Soludo, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), who was inaugurated in as the new governor of Anambra State on Thursday, has delivered a message to the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and its military branch, the Eastern Security Network, ESN, as he begins his term.
The newly sworn-in governor asked IPOB and ESN to work together with his government to combat the state’s insecurity.
During his inaugural speech in Awka, the state capital, Soludo made the request.

He questioned the motivations behind separatist movements and pondered if it was time for IPOB and ESN to reconsider their goals.
According to Soludo: “To IPOB/ESN, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, as well as the disparate armed groups in the forests, it is time to interrogate both the purpose and means of your campaign. To the politicians playing politics with the insecurity, you are riding a tiger.
“The current trajectory is a road to desolation. Let us get around the table and talk. Let the elite in the closet come out, and let’s debate our future and forge a consensus.
“The conspiracy of silence by the elite and some community leaders must end. If you see something, say or do something! Securing Igboland and Nigeria must be our collective responsibility.
