IPOB has told politicians and people in the Southeast not to steal the N250 billion meant for the new Southeast Development Commission. They want every penny spent on making the region better. Emma Powerful spoke for IPOB on Sunday, saying the area needs urgent projects and programs that actually help people. He listed things like fixing roads, upgrading hospitals, building new health centers, and setting up power plants.
The group heard about money going to the Commission headed by Dr. Emeka Nworgu, with Senator Orji Uzor Kalu watching over it. IPOB warned these leaders to make sure nobody pockets the cash instead of using it for real improvements. They said the region needs job-creating projects and social help right away. The funds should fix what's broken and build what's missing across the entire South-East.
IPOB wants industrial parks built in Abia and Anambra that can employ many young people. They also mention they need functional seaports and international airports. They know N250 billion can't build an airport by itself, but since the money comes yearly, it can start important projects. The group believes investing in talented youth matters because Igbo people naturally have creativity and skill.
According to IPOB, all the Commission needs is safety and backing to succeed. They hate the idea of wasting money on useless conferences or trips abroad. Those days when politicians stole public money without consequences must end. IPOB promises to watch closely and call out anyone working against South-East interests. The money belongs to everyone in the region, not just certain states or communities.
The group demands fair distribution of benefits across all states and communities. No place should receive special treatment because that might cause problems between areas. IPOB emphasized that equity and justice must guide how officials spend every dollar. They ended with a serious warning that anybody who steals or shares this money among political friends will face consequences for their actions.
