I Am Impressed With Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Eastern Security Network, Says Femi Fani-Kayode

By Daniel Dafe
Former Aviation Minister and chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has thrown his weight behind Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Eastern Security Network.

Recall that Kanu recently announced the launch of the said security formation, saying this was similar to Amotekun in the South West and Miyetti Allah.

In a social.media post late Monday, Fani-Kayode said: “An army of volunteers that fights for the freedom, protection and preservation of its people without pay is far more dangerous and powerful than an army of ill-motivated professional soldiers with a corrupt and cowardly leadership, minimal inspiration and low morale who fight simply for their salaries.”

He continued: “The former fight for future generations and the honor and integrity of their people whilst the latter fight only to preserve the nebulous status qou and their own near-empty stomachs.

“From today, with the launching of this network, it will be a very risky and dangerous thing for any tribal militia or ethnic terrorist group to attack the people of the East or to commit heinous crimes and barbaric acts of genocide against the Igbo race without grave consequences. Every Igbo man worth his salt ought to commend Kanu and thank him for this initiative.”

According to him, “when the state refuses to protect you and your people you have a duty and an obligation before God to protect yourselves.”

Adding: “This is a duty that the cowards in our midst and the fence-sitters refuse to acknowledge.

“I salute the courage of those behind the Eastern Security Network initiative just as I salute the courage of those that established Amotekun for the South West.”

Furthermore, he urged the leaders and people of the Middle Belt, the South-South and the core North to set up similar regional security outfits to secure their lives and properties against the bandits, terrorists, murderous fanatics and men of blood and violence that have plagued the land and that wish to wipe everyone from the face of the earth.
