Ejimakor, in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle, urged citizens of the geopolitical zone to focus on restoring peace in the region.<\/p>\n

He explained that if the security situation fails to gain appropriate attention from the leaders, there would be nobody to vote during the elections.<\/p>\n

Ejimakor stated this while reacting to alleged unlawful activities of law enforcement agencies in some parts of the region.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cDear #Ndigbo, especially the politicians: Why are you talking about the 2023 Elections & not the rising violence & injustice in Southeast?<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus the militarization of the South East? Who will vote for you? The thousands that are either in jail or dead? #MNK\u201d.<\/p>\n
