In Nigeria, the Governors are constitutionally designated the Chief Security Officers of their states. But they work with the Police, the DSS, and commanding officers of the branches of the armed forces that have bases in their states.
In South East Nigeria, also known as the heartland of Igboland, the Governors work with the following officials:
Maj-Gen Abubakar Maikobi (GOC, 82 Division, Nigerian Army).
Air Vice-Marshall Idi Amin (Air Officer Commanding).
Yusuf Ishaku (Director, DSS Anambra).
A. J. Ibrahim (Director, DSS Abia State).
H. E. Abdullah (Director, DSS Ebonyi).
B. Likinyo (Director, DSS Enugu).
Baba Tijani (AIG, Zone 9, Umuahia).
Awosola Awotinde (CP, Ebonyi State).
Ahmadu Abdulrahman (CP, Enugu State).
Rabiu Ladodo (CP, Imo State).
Besides the governors, NO SINGLE IGBO or Southeast person is at the helms of affairs that decide matters of security (life and death) that concern people of Southeast.
Be it in the United States or in Nigeria, the security apparatus must reflect the community it is set up to protect. If the security personnel does not share the race, ethnicity, culture, and language of the people they are purporting to protect, it is an occupier force.
