By Olayinka Ajayi Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umehi has insisted that the South-Eastern part of Nigeria is being fuelled by misguided comments of desperate politicians that want power at all cost. Speaking in a monitored programme on Channels Television, ‘Politics Today’ yesterday night, the Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum stressed that there is complexity in the case of the insecurity in the South-East. “Before now, there was an agitation by young men. The agitation is that we are not being fairly treated by the committee of States in Nigeria and this agitation is headed by Nnamdi Kanu. The agitation was growing before we now have the problem of foreign herdsmen that invaded South-East and the combination of the agitation and the killings by the herdsmen in South-East heightened the insecurity in South-East.
