He said: “The governors are the chief security officers of their states; they should not sit and watch while security agents kill defenceless protesters.
“It is the right of the people to protest; they don’t bear arms, why would security agents turn their guns on the protesters who were holding a prayer session in Aba?
“It is all part of the plot to destabilize the former Eastern region. South East and South South governors should wake up and stop playing politics with the lives of their people.
“They should rise and take up the matter with the authorities. Enough is enough”.
