Text Of Broadcast By Gov Willie Obiano Of Anambra On The Evening Of Wednesday, December 2, 2015
“My beloved people of Anambra State ,
I wish to address you on the on-going protest staged in Onitsha by the members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra and MASSOB.
“The
government of Anambra
State has been monitoring
developments and is greatly concerned about the security of lives and property
of residents and visitors to the state. As your Governor and Chief Security
Officer of the state, I am compelled to act to avert any likely breakdown of
law and order. In all situations, the preservation of human life comes first
and I am determined to enforce that.
“Since
the inception of my administration, we have made the security of lives and
property our priority and we are not going to compromise on that. I, therefore,
sincerely appeal to members of the IPOB, MASSOB and other aggrieved groups and
individuals to maintain the peace and resist any attempt by hoodlums to take
advantage of the situation and destabilize any part of Anambra State .
“I
am in constant touch with all the security agencies in the state to ensure that
what has otherwise been a peaceful protest is not hijacked by trouble makers.
All mischief makers are hereby warned to keep off as we will not tolerate any
breach of peace under any guise or pretext. You are seriously warned! I
therefore wish to assure Ndi Anambra and all visitors to the state to go about
their normal businesses peacefully as the security agencies are on top of the
situation to preserve law and order.”
