When members of the Southeast Governors Forum rose from their meeting in Enugu on Sunday October 30, this year, where they agreed to form a 24- hour joint security patrol to traverse the length and breadth of the region, not many took the resolution with seriousness.
It was so basically because, since 2017 when the Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi took over the leadership of the body, no decision reached, either in Enugu or elsewhere had been implemented. Insecurity remains a challenge for the people of the region. And while the rest of the country prepares for this yuletide, many residents across the zone may not have the opportunity of celebrating with their loved ones, apparently because there is no home to return to or the fear for being killed or kidnapped.
