“As peace loving citizens endowed with fundamental and inalienable socio-political rights, we wish to call on the Chief of Army Staff to call his personnel to order and not to allow the highly revered military force in Africa to be used as petty thugs by the ruling government.“The shaky and flimsy excuse of providing security is mere gimmicks scripted to actualise the biddings of the ruling party. It is now clear that the ruling party is bent on controlling the states in the oil-rich region.
“It is in this state of deprivation that the ruling party is boasting and planning to use the military to disenfranchise the people of the kingdom. We want to make it abundantly clear that there is no war in Egbema as from time immemorial, the peace-loving people of Egbema have always employed diplomacy and maximum cooperation with security agencies to nip any security challenge in the bud.
