S/EAST GOVERNORS ARE SABOTEURS, THEY DON'T CARE - CATHOLIC BISHOP

The Communication Director of the Nnewi
Catholic Diocese, Rev. Fr. Hyginus Aghaulor, has
blasted the five South-East state governors for
remaining silent while their people are being
incessantly slaughtered like goats by Fulani
herdsmen in various parts of the states.
He stated this while addressing reporters at the
Assumption Cathedral, Nnewi on Thursday.
Aghaulor called out the five South East state
Governors of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and
Imo for doing nothing to protect the people of
the region from the incessant attacks by
bloodthirsty herdsmen.
He said, “Their counterparts in the North are
influencing the Federal Government in spending
billions of naira to contain the Boko Haram
insurgents, when something more worrisome and
sinister than the activities of Boko Haram is
being done in South East by the Fulani
Herdsmen.
“The South East Governors and their Chairman
the Enugu State Governor whose state is where
the menacing activities of the herdsmen is worst
and the state legislators have not done anything
to protect the people there.
“They should borrow a leaf from Governor Ayo
Fayose of Ekiti State. We are in a federalism,
and each state have the right to make certain
law governing them, what prevents Enugu State
government from making laws that can protect
the people there?
“Governors of South East and their state
Assemblies should make laws that will protect
their people.
“Since Nigeria came into being, nobody has seen
the levels of killing that are being perpetrated by
the Fulani herdsmen.
“Why should people be killed without provocation
in their own traditional lands? We are asking the
government for how long would this continue, is
this the type of country we all signed up for, is
this part of the change, are there no rules and
laws in this country?
“All over Nigeria women are being raped, people
are intimidated, innocent Nigerians are being
slaughtered and property worth billions of Naira
destroyed by the suspected Fulani Herdsmen.”
It would be recalled that Aghaulor had said the
CBCN directed that ransom should not be paid
for any of the church’s priest kidnapped, pointing
out that anybody waiting for the payment of
ransom for the release of any priest kidnapped
was wasting his time.
