Umahi remarked that the movement for secession has been hijacked by cultists, kidnappers, and other criminal elements, and that it is time for the zone’s leaders and people to jointly say no to the deaths in the region. He believes that the agitation has to be reevaluated.

He said; 

“The declaration of south-east as a red zone by these ministries means that what is due to us would be difficult to come. 

“It is time for the zone’s leaders and people to collectively say no to the killings in the zone because we no longer see the real agenda of the agitations.

“The people should support governors from the zone and other leaders to permanently stop this bloodshed because we know the parents and communities of the perpetrators of the heinous acts.

“It is presently difficult for trucks with goods from other parts of the country to come to the zone as we did not harmonise adequately to determine areas of comparative advantage.”
