Igbo Community Association FCT Calls For Inter-Regional Solidarity Against Marginalization And Security Injustices
Following a recent visitation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the Department of State Services (DSS) facility in Abuja, deep concerns have emerged regarding the growing silence surrounding the systemic marginalization of the Igbo people and the ongoing security crises plaguing vulnerable communities across Nigeria.
The ICA in a statement signed by its President General, Engr (Nze) Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe he said: “During our discussion on the plight of the Igbo man and woman within the Nigerian state, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu lamented the apparent void in vocal, uncompromised advocacy.”
“Since his detention, key voices and defenders of the South East have largely gone quiet. It is deeply troubling that many prominent leaders have chosen to prioritize personal political favor with the administration over speaking out against the injustices and socio-economic marginalization meted out against our people,” he said.
Silence in the face of oppression is complicity.
“The South East cannot afford leadership that prioritizes political convenience over the fundamental rights, dignity, and security of its citizens.
“Furthermore, the fight against marginalization must not be waged in isolation. There is an urgent, imperative need for all marginalized groups and impacted regions across Nigeria to bind together and push back against systemic injustices. The premeditated killings, ongoing violence, and persistent land-grabbing targeting communities in the Middle Belt and North West represent a grave national disgrace that must end immediately.
“We call on the people of the South East to join forces with the Middle Belt and other affected regions to build a united front.
“Together, we must demand an immediate end to senseless killings, unlawful land occupations, and the institutional neglect of minority and marginalized groups.
Nigeria can only progress when justice, equity, and absolute security are guaranteed for every citizen, regardless of tribe or region.
