I pray this union doesn't die with end of the governors tenor present and let not political wickedness and political alignment not kill this noble idea. For decade past, other regions have fed fat on our dis unity. Making the region that lay the golden egg to suffer. Now that we have woken up to the realities of Nigeria politics where wickedness, political vendetta, rancour and politics of divide and rules (5%)is the order of the day, I pray to God to sideline all the enemies of this region and anybody that will make these laudable idea not work.

COMMUNIQUE OF THE MEETING OF SOUTH-EAST/ SOUTH-SOUTH GOVERNORS FORUM IN GOVERNMENT HOUSE, PORT HARCOURT, RIVERS STATE, ON SUNDAY 27 AUGUST, 2017.

The Governors of the South-East and South-South States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria met in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday 27 August, 2017 to deliberate on critical economic and political issues common to the interests of the States in the Nation’s affairs.

Concerned about the reality of the dearth of infrastructure, the Forum noted with dismay:

1. The deplorable state of federal roads in the two regions. That none of the airports and seaports located in our regions is reasonably functional, and that neither of the two regions are linked by any rail services.

Akainzo:



You know this country is in trouble when so called leaders cannot even tell each other the truth or acknowledge the truth.

a. Port Harcourt International Airport that has about 20 local flights and 2 International flights daily is not reasonably functional.
b. The PH-Enugu rail services that runs every weekday is actually linking PH to Ondo since neither PH nor Enugu is in either SS or SE.

How did we get to this state of affairs in this country?

4. To continue to subscribe our faith to the destiny and greatness of Nigeria and call upon Nigerians to put their hands on the plough and rise to claim our rightful place in the Comity of Nations.


And they wept at this...

I don't know what to say

"That the Federal presence in the regions is very minimal and only noticeable in the presence of policemen"

I want the akwa cross to be autonomous. City border wall and ID database are necessary. But I don't understand why the akwa ibom people are so dumb.no vision whatsoever. No voice whatsoever. What's going on?

unohbethel:
nice all d way..


but wait, why shouldnt they be specific about the rising tension in their lands and suggest ways to solve it

All these resolutions are useless. We need something practical

Bolustical:


How would the SE think of anything called SEAPORTS when the region does not have ANY access to the SEA i.e LANDLOCKED?

Please tell me.

And GEJ completed the East-West Road now

Bolustical:


But GEJ (in all his 5 years)constructed all the roads in the SE and Stella Oduah completed all the remodelling plans of the airports (including Akanu Ibiam) and Diezani as Min. of Transport(later Petroleum) used all within her powers to revive the railway in that region.

That is the man reason the SE particularly gave the Otuoke man over 95% of their votes.

guterMann:
All bark and no bite.

All these have been discussed for eons ago.

I thought they would advocate for restructuring and regionalism.

(1) The deplorable state of federal roads in the two regions. That none of the airports and seaports located in our regions is reasonably functional, and that neither of the two regions are linked by any rail services.

REALLY?YOU THINK THE HAUSA/FULANI CONTROLLED NIGERIA CARES ABOUT YOU?FEDERAL ROADS,AIRPORTS AND SEAPORTS ARE IN THE EXECUTIVE LISTS AND CAN NOT BE CARRIED OUT BY STATE GOVERNMENTS.ASK FOR REGIONALISM SO THAT YOU CAN BUILD THESE WITH YOUR RESOURCES.

2. That the Federal presence in the regions is very minimal and only noticeable in the presence of policemen.

FEDERAL PRESENCE?YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU ARE 5%,YOU STILL NEED TO BE REMINDED?

3. The emerging trend where approvals for investments in the oil and gas industry are granted for siting in other parts of Nigeria with laying of pipelines in deep waters rather than siting the projects in the areas that produce the resources.

SMELL THE COFFE.NIGERIA DOS NOT BELONG TO YOU .IT MAKES ECONOMIC SENSE TO SITE INDUSTRIES NEAR RAW MATERIALS,BUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD RATHER SITE INDUSTRIES IN THEIR 'PREFERRED ' LOCATIONS AND SPEND BILLIONS TO LAY THE PIPELINES.


(4). To continue to subscribe our faith to the destiny and greatness of Nigeria and call upon Nigerians to put their hands on the plough and rise to claim our rightful place in the Comity of Nations.

BIG NAME WEY DEY KILL SMALL DOG.NIGERIA IS NOT GREAT AND WILL NEVER BE GREAT,AFTER 50 YEARS IT IS STILL MOVING IN REVERSE GEAR.CHAMPION A BETTER COURSE AND LEAVE THE 'DESTINY AND GREATNESS OF NIGERIA'.MAYBE BECAUSE THE STATUS QUO FAVORS YOU.




5. To condemn hate speech in national discourse whether in individual communication, or utterances of political actors or parties.

TELL THAT TO BUHARI,THE 'AUTHOR' AND 'FINISHER' OF HATE SPEECH


(6) To urge security agencies to set up joint border patrols and develop more proactive strategies in combating crime and criminality.

MORE ROAD BLOCKS FOR THE SECURITY AGENCIES YOU MEAN?MORE EGUNJE FOR THEM

THE SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN

Which tension?

You mean asking for referendum/pursuing self determination generates tension?
