The National Legal Adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Barr. Emmanuel Enoidem, said one of the solution needed to address injustice and insecurity bedeviling Nigeria is to make deliberate and sincere steps to accommodate the Igbos and ensure they occupy the highest office in the country.

Enoidem represented by Tom Fredfish, HOD, Public Administration, Maurid Polytechnic, Nsit Ubium, stated this on Friday in Uyo during a one day National Dialogue marking 2021 Democracy Day, with the theme, ‘democracy, insecurity, and the Unity of Nigeria,’ organized by the Civil Liberties Organisations (CLO) in conjunction with the Office of Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs.

The PDP legal Adviser however noted that injustice was part of the root causes of insecurity in the country adding that the agitations in the south East was as a result of systemic perennial injustice.

Enoidem said, “Injustice is one of the factors that has led to insecurity in Nigeria. It is often said that injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. It cannot be doubted that what is happening in the South East today which is gradually snowballing and degenerating to other parts of the country is a function of a built-up perennial systemic injustice.

“The Nigerian state specifically from 1999 till date has continued to show disdain for the Igbos viewing them as agitators who caused the civil war – an attitude that depicts that the war has not ended. My opinion is that until and unless the managers and leaders of the Nigerian state take deliberate and sincere steps to accommodate the Igbos by allowing them to occupy the highest office in the land, the civil war has not ended.”
