Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi says he has deployed widows in the state to fast and pray over the rising level of insecurity in the state.

Umahi said this during the Presidential Ministerial briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the presidential villa, Abuja.

The governor also urged youths in the state to submit their demands to the government so as to know their grievances.

“I have done stakeholders’ meetings in the 13 Local Government Areas; I have done seven-day prayers.

“I have deployed the widows to fast and pray; I have deployed the elders’ council to go round and talk to our people. I have deployed founding fathers to go and talk.

“All these talks are getting results. Some of the bad boys are pulling out and surrendering to us and they are giving us information.

“But my position is that these people are our children. It does not please me. I’m trying to let them know that what they are agitating for can be solved through dialogue. We are calling on our youths to submit their demands to us. We will come to the centre and submit them.

“If in the next six months, we have not substantially addressed them, we can join you in the agitation. But right now, we won’t support you to insult the President, leaders of the South-East and other leaders. That is not agitation; that is foolishness. Agitation is agitation,” Umahi said
