Following the ongoing crises between the Fulani herdsmen and Southern part threatening to stop moving foods to the south, the Igbos under the auspices of South East Town Union has said that they are capable to feed themselves.
Emeka Diwe, Group’s national president, and Gideon Adikwuru, secretary, jointly said in a statement on Tuesday that they would halt the Capital flight called “the imperialism of the northern agro-cartels in Igboland.”
The Union said that the blockade of food supplies to the their region can not make them to be afraid or running helter-skelter for help.
The statement reads in part: “The target is to encourage the steady and seamless repatriation of Igbo wealth back home, thereby unleashing the potential in all the sectors of the local economy and facilitate job and wealth creation for our people through various value chains.
“We prepared for it, and it has aided the materialisation of our initiative and fast-tracked our agenda which is to harvest home our wealth and make our land an oasis of prosperity among the Black race,” ASETU said.
