A
sociopolitical group in Cross River State have called on the Governor of the
state Sen. Benedict Ayade to as a matter of urgency revamp the once peaceful
state that has now turn a den of warriors, kidnappers, and cultist to its peaceful,
clean and green state just as he met it in 2015.
The group
which wrote an open letter and made it available to TDN says the
Governor “delay in improving the security situation in the state, he will surely
have the resultant effect come 2019”
The group
however expressed their readiness to partner the government in staging
proactive security manwalk, symposiums, LGAs security sensitization and
workshops.
Also stressing the need
for the state to revisit its security policies, De Mandate said this is one of
the measures of ending the increasing communal clashes, kidnapping cult fight
and other security threats that have taken over the state in recent times.
The open letter reads
below:
15 July 2017
His Excellency
Senator
Professor Ben Ayade
The Executive
Governor of Cross River State
Dear sir,
I write to
bring to your notice that it is time to launch Cross River State on the path of
growth, development and Security Dependent. It has become a matter of State
emergency and concern for De-Mandate Advocate to read on the pages of news
papers that your government have not called for resolution and youthful
security manwalk in all LGAs in the State . It is very sad and dangerous.
We remember it
was part of your manifesto, does it mean you wanted to reap where you did not
sow? and if you told Crossriverians that growth, development and Security was
just a cardinal point it means you played Crossriverians 419. Any body who says
they weren't t part of your manifesto hate this state. This was the base for
your general acceptability with absolute trust, faith, hope and believe, so
when you dismiss this call, it's means you have no clue to the root problems
confronting Cross River State.
Our state is
currently operating a feeding bottle system, a caricature leadership more or
less a unitarised system where nobody's input counts.
To replenish
the feeding bottle is a situation about to back fire and collapse completely.
When people are agitating and there are several calls for solutions to the increasing
insecurity challenges. it is very vital as a matter of State emergency to
listen to them. Bring everyone to a round table by visiting other government
systems of security report and begin to rework the security policies for the
State to shed weight. We are currently operating a unitary policy masquerading
as State policies.
We De-Mandate
Advocate and other relevant Civil society groups in the state are ready to
partner with the Government of the state to stage proactive security manwalk,
symposiums, LGAs security sensitization and workshops.. We need to re-visit the
state security policies and increase communal vigilante plus insecurity whistle
blowing...
His
Excellency, the cry of your flocks are increasingly demanding.. The faith and
fate in your Government is varnishing and diffusing into thin air. We demand
your immediate call to salvage this menace which is becoming increasingly
alarming and distractive, thereby crippling residents and citizens activities
in the state.
We will be
grateful if this challenges is managed with immediate effect to safeguard our
mandates and our dear state, from totally losing it glorious time thereby
saving your government from total lost in confidence. Remember, the number duty
of a government is to safe lifes and properties of its people.
Thanks in
anticipation of your quick response
De-Mandate
Advocate
