Onwukwe highlighted the urgent need for this gathering, stating that the current leadership in Igboland has failed to safeguard the lives of the youth, and insecurity has reached alarming levels. He expressed concern over the militarization of the region, the abductions, and the “kill on sight” raids, describing these actions as a betrayal and a serious threat to national unity.
