BEVERLY HILLS, September 15, (THEWILL) – Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, says he is currently in talks with the presidency to bring the Exercise Python Dance II in the South-East to an end, stating that there was no security situation to have warranted launch of the military operation in the first place.
While condemning the military seige in the South-east, the lawmaker, in a statement issued on Thursday, stated that dialogue and inclusive governance remain the best approach to resolving the agitation in the region.
“The military siege to the South-East is uncalled for because there is no prevailing situation in the region to warrant it in the first place. Instead, it is the Python Dance that appears to be creating problems and raising tension in the region.
“The agitation in the South-East at the moment is best resolved by way of dialogue and a sense of inclusion.
“I want to assure our people that I have been engaging the Presidency and security agencies meaningfully on the issue. It is my hope that the Operation Egwu Eke will be called off,” the Deputy Senate President said.
