In the bid to ensure that a president of
Igbo extraction emerge in 2015, Igbo
leaders during the week in Enugu, met
to form of a new group, the South-East
Peoples Development Association
(SEPDA).
The event which had in attendance over
200 prominent Igbo sons and daughters
was held at the Nike Lake Resort Hotel
Enugu on Thursday.
Prominent South-East leaders who
attended the meeting include; a former
National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Okwesilieze
Nwodo; Senators Ken Nnamani and Chris
Ngige; Mrs. M. Okadigbo, Nnamdi
Oriobuna, Julius Ucha, Sylvanus Ngele
and Anyim Ude.
Others include former Governor of
Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu; former Ebonyi
State Deputy Governor, Chigozie Ogbu;
Ben Obi, former Education Minister,
Chinyere Obaji, and former Deputy
Governor of Anambra State, Virgy
Etiaba.
Details as at press time was sketchy but
sources say Egwu was appointed
President of the association, while
Nnamani was appointed chairman of the
Board of Trustees (BOT).
This was in addition to several standing
committees that were also constituted.
While speaking, a source said: “South-
East Peoples Development Association is
aimed at moving the Igbo beyond the
present level and ensuring that
everyone is carried along.”
Although the association assured that it
would not be in conflict with Ohanaeze
Ndigbo or any other organization
promoting the interest of the Igbo, an
Ohanaeze chieftain described the
meeting as a gathering of associates of
former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar
under the veil of promoting Igbo interest.
He said: “I was invited to that meeting
but when I made enquiries about those
who were championing the new group, I
discovered that they were all Atiku’s
loyalists. So they cannot be promoting
Igbo interest but that of Turaki
Adamawa.”

Since i didn't see the likes of imo state governor(okorocha),curent enugu state governor or even our present c-net deputy-president.(senate vise pre6dent) that alone shows me another group will be coming up.

All these adultery by yoruba married women for money is not lovve of money?vvv yorubba can do anything for money that is why their husbands are houseboys to their wivves who go about selling their bodies for money.

I'm frm igbo part bt, I kw this cnt work. Its just personal interest.

1st group, 2nd group, . . . . . . Different igbo group but the same agenda base on individual selfish reasons. Maybe because igbo didn't really have the historical and cultural central leader.
