The South East South South Professionals of Nigeria (SESSPN) have condemned the murder of Mr. Ahmed Gulak, the former Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan.

In a statement release to the press and signed by Barrister Hannibal Uwaifo (President) George Agu ( Deputy President SE) Andy Wabali (Deputy President SS) Ireke Kalu Onuma (General Secretary), the association said it received with deep regret the unfortunate murder of Mr. Ahmed Gulak Politician and former Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“This dastardly act which reportedly occurred in Owerri, Imo State last weekend, is not only worrisome but represents a setback in the struggle for a Just, Fair and Peaceful Nigeria.”

The association further said “ SESSPN hereby condemns this callous act in the strongest terms permissible and cautions that this is a very dangerous dimension to the festering insecurity in the South East hitherto a very peaceful haven for Social and Economic activities.

We urge all those responsible for the wanton killing of security officials, innocent Citizens, the burning and looting of Public Properties to sheath their Swords and embrace a road map for a drastic but peaceful and orderly change desired by Nigerians.”

The entire members of the South East South South Professionals of Nigeria hereby condoles with the Wife, and Family of the late politician as well as , the Government and People of Adamawa State for this callous act. May his Soul rest in Peace . Amen The statement added.

The association in the statement also called on members of National Assembly not to engage on the fruitless exercise of constitutional review but rather they should conduct a referendum where majority of Nigerians will speak.

“The SESSPN once again renew the call to the National Assembly and all those currently engaged in the fruitless exercise of Constitutional review that what majority of Nigerians are yearning for is an entirely new Constitution put together by the voice of the majority of Nigerians and endorsed via a referendum.

 The Federal Government of Nigeria should not delude itself that the present agitations for structural changes and the deteriorating Security challenges will fizzle out without a positive response to the yearnings of Nigerians for Equity and Justice in running the affairs of Nigeria. We believe that the current drift to a state of total anarchy in the country can only be reversed by drastic change in the unsustainable status quo.”

The SESSPN as an advocacy non-political, non- partisan Group will continue to support a United Nigeria sustained mainly by Equity and Justice.
