The Vice Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in 2019 elections, Mr Peter Obi, has reiterated his earlier position that there is need for urgent stakeholders meeting in the South-East, to discuss salient issues pertaining to the recent wave of violence in the region, which he described as disheartening.
It will be recalled that Obi, while reacting to the attack on schools, as well as addressing Pressmen in Agulu recently, lamented the death of Dr Chike Akunyili, called on different political, religious, traditional leaders and other stakeholders of South-East to come together and tackle the monster of insecurity currently contending with the peace of the region and unity of the Igbos.
Addressing Newsmen earlier today, Obi maintained his earlier stand that the security situation in the South-East needs urgent intervention before it gets worse. He explained that it will take a collective effort from all Stakeholders to stem the rising tide of violence in the region.
