Igbo Youth Assembly for
Peace and Security (IYAPS),
has registered it's pleasure
over what they described
as a conspiracy by the
Nigerian government and
the governors of the South-
East region. They plan to
crush the Eastern security
outfit named Eastern
Security Network (ESN),
even at such a time like
this when security is
needed more than ever.
The Igbo Youth Assembly
rose up from their Annual
General Meeting which was
held in Umuahia, Abia State
recently, with a declaration that any attack on the Eastern Security Network (ESN), is a direct
attack on all Igbo youths globally. They clearly emphasized that ESN simply stands for both
male and female youth that are born in Biafraland, comprising both South-East and South-
South regions of the present day Nigeria.
The National Coordinator of the Igbo Youth Assembly, Ogbuefi Chukwudi Ogbodo who briefed
newsmen after the annual convention, stated that Igbo youths all over the world, view the
development as a declaration of war against them by Hope Uzodimma of Imo State. This is the
man that callously invited the Nigerian military to invade, attack and wipe out the operatives of
the Eastern Security Network (ESN), in Orsu and Orlu Local Government Areas of the State,
simultaneously.
Ogbuefi Chukwudi Ogbodo said that the ESN is a people-oriented security outfit which has been
overwhelmingly accepted by all the Igbos with the exception of the minority few criminal
political elites that are hell bent on destroying the security goodwill, put in place for the people.
These criminal politicians are plotting to have a leeway in the service of the interest of their
Abuja-based slavemasters at the detriment of the indigenous farmers within the rural
communities. He however maintained that there stands no amount of intimidation or military
siege that will tilt Igbo youths away from their support to the Eastern Security Outfit. Nobody
in particular is an ESN operative but an involvement of every able bodied youth in the entirety
of Biafraland which Igbo territories rightly belong.
On contact with Family Writers Press International, the National Secretary of Igbo Youths
Assembly for Peace and Security (IYAPS), Barrister Nzubechukwu Anazodo, through a
telephone conversation, strongly insisted that Igbo youths will not in anyway fold their hands
and be watching helplessly as the selfish politicians destroy ESN which took Igbo youths years
of sleepless nights to create. He pointedly stated that since 12th of December 2020 when the
ESN was unveiled, Igbo peasant farmers have experienced big sigh of relief in their farming
endeavors within the rural areas. He concluded that whoever that touches ESN, definitely
touches all the youths of the communities throughout the length and breadth of Igboland and
should be prepared to contend with the anger of the people.
