Senators from the South East on Tuesday met with President Muhammadu Buhari over the tension generated in the region as a result of the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

The Senators, who were led by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu said the South East zone was shortchanged by the current Federal Government.

Addressing State House Correspondents after the meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Ekweremadu said they had fruitful discussion with the president over pressing issues affecting the South East.

The Deputy Senate President stressed that the South East is of the option that dialogue remains the best bet in addressing some of the issues affecting the region.

According to Ekweremadu, “For us from the South East, we believe that dialogue is better than any other form of engagement.

“So, we decided to visit the President and present to him some of the concerns of the South East including the issues of roads, general infrastructure; the rail, airports and others.
“We know that there are problems everywhere but we also believe that the South East is the zone that is far much shortchanged at this time than other zones.

“We also talked about the issue of appointments from the South East, especially with respect to the National Security Council. The President also told us that governors of the South East have also engaged him in the same problems we engaged him in.

We are reassured with the response we got from the President and we look forward to further interaction with him in this manner.”

What about people that were murdered by the army? Cowards

Why is the news of the Kurdish Referendum not considered news worthy by the media houses in Nigeria?

I want answers, please.

Now we know those pushing the terrorist.

I hope senator ABARIBE told president BUHARI and other delegates where terrorist NNAMDI KANU is

It's now the senators remember the roads in the SE, issorite!

madridguy:
Okay

The roads Ekweremadu did not remember for years, Now he knows they have a bad road. Baba go kuku tell you him don hear, oya come dey go

These guys are just beating about the bush.

The people of Biafra just want to be free. You lots (talking to the president) are the ones who need the pittance. You represent your pockets and interest not that of the people!

The south east is far more short changed than any other region,only zombies will dispute this fact.

That is what the agitations have been about and no amount of name calling will change the fundamental facts.

They can continue running up and down or even jump into the lagoon ,what the people see and think of is Biafra.

Hush hush money....

My role model any day! Ikeoha

bring back our defenfer Nwankwo KANU

NICE MOVE

I hate all SE LEADERS. THE ARE SELFISH AND COWARDS IGBOS WILL CONTINUE BEEN A VICTIM BUT VERY SOON THE RICH WILL ALSO CRY

Click like if u beleive this is a waste of time.

Let them resign and form their own Govt and stop sabotaging the Govt they are benefiting from...the President must never believe them for anything...they are probably the sponsors of IPOB ..

Idiots

We need another FCT.
Abuja has had enough.

Buhari said that you guys didn't vote for him and should not expect anything more than Python Dance in your zone.

For the fact that you foolish people didn't talk about your sons killed by Buhari's army shows that you're cowards.

In Igbo land, respect is not given but earned.

fools
