GOVERNORS of the Southeast geo-political zone met in Enugu Saturday to articulate the position of the zone on the Southern Nigeria political leaders meeting holding today in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

Although there was no official confirmation to the positions reached by the governors, sources said the Enugu meeting, which lasted for over four hours, deliberated extensively on the role of Ndigbo in 2015 dispensation, stressing that such position would be presented today, when the leaders of the 17 southern states meet in Asaba.

At the meeting were Governors Peter Obi (Anambra), Martin Elechi (Ebonyi), Theordore Orji (Abia), Sullivan Chime (Enugu) and Deputy Governor of Imo state, Eze Mmadumere.

There were also others in the meeting including, Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha Senator Ayogu Eze,Senator Uche Chukwumerije, Minister of Power,Professor Chinedu Nebo, a representative of the traditional institution of the zone, the clergy led by Dr Amos Madu, the archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Anglican communion, among others.

But Governor Obi, who is also the chairman of South East governors forum, who emerged after the closed door meeting told Journalists that the meeting discussed about the visit of President Goodluck Jonathan as well as the burial plans of literary icon, Late Professor Chinua Achebe.

Achebe, he restated would be buried on May 23, this year at his family compound in Ogidi, Anambra state, stressing that the meeting was basically the review plans already made by the burial committee and the governors.

President Goodluck Jonathan will be embarking on a working visit to the Southeast zone of the country within the week. Obi added that the visit formed the reason for the emergency meeting.

The governor, who failed to give the exact date of the President’s visit to the zone, also failed to entertain questions from newsmen on other discussions at the meeting.

Muhahaha...to do what? To help distribut the voting materials?

As if they have any option other than voting the Ijaw man. then what is the point of the meeting when we already know what the outcome 'll be

Useless Meeting to perpetuate clueless administration.

Obi (Anambra) Elechi (Ebonyi) & Orji (Abia).....Lets agree how to give Jonathan 98% of our votes
Chime (Enugu).....Neutral
Okorocha (Imo) ..........Only radical element within, sends his deputy.

My dear EAST has been rendered POLITICALLY DEAD!!

Why are my kinsmen so backward, rather than pursue regional development, they are meeting over the 2015

Jonathan will be embarking on a tour of South East zone.

Don't you think, it will be good that the Governors have a common stand and press for a reasonable federal presence and investments from Mr President?

Obiagelli: Why are my kinsmen so backward, rather than pursue regional development, they are meeting over the 2015

when will the Governors meet to discuss how to pull resources together and create an economic hub in the East?

We can make progress regardless of what is happening in aso rock

all we seem to have are meetings about the next election, nothing about development!

Ngwakwe: Jonathan will be embarking on a tour of South East zone.

Are they waiting for the president to visit the southeast before the governors press for their demands for Federal presence? Mind you, Jonathan is only visiting Anambra state.are they trying to politicize Achebe 's burial? smh for Southeast governors.

Do you expect the governors to publicly announce a meeting of substance such as strategy for economic development? Bros, you know better than the above post.

The only issues publicly announced are irrelevant stuffs to occupy the press media and the fickle minds. However the gathering indicated what every person had known by now.

Ngwakwe: Jonathan will be embarking on a tour of South East zone.

Hehe... I thought He was one of you,therefore he ought to know where it pains you people the most. You people have not seen anything yet... Continue to support mediocre, and see your region become a FREE SLAVE ZONE,

mankevo:

I can tell you the only POLITICALLY DEAD zone in Nigeria is the SW. With UPN on the upsurge and Buhari's ambition I see the SW votes divided more than any region in Nigeria.

You'll get a master and he may be from the SE/SS or the north, a master you will get I can assure you.

Ngwakwe:

The one wey them press from 2011 to 2013 ha piputara gini?
Immediately GEJ won the election, we never heard the name Azikiwe again.... but in the build up to 2011 election it used to be, GOODLUCK EBELE AZIKIWE JONATHAN.

Ngwakwe: Jonathan will be embarking on a tour of South East zone.

And how does that improve development, how does that affect the common man, is that what they were voted for.

So politics is better than discussing how the 2nd Niger bridge should be completed, alongside the federal roads in the southeast? Why are our governors so hopeless? Umu anu mpama

Mogidi:

You'll get a master and he may be from the SE/SS or the north, a master you will get I can assure you.

The thread is about SE and not SW or Buhari. Why can't you people focus on your people wahala without haven't to drag Yoruba people into it. Divided or not, lets just wait and see what will happen in 2015.

Policewoman: So politics is better than discussing how the 2nd Niger bridge should be completed, alongside the federal roads in the southeast? Why are our governors so hopeless? Umu anu mpama

Same project he used to get SE vote in 2011 and he'll still use again come 2015. Smart Ijaw nigger.

Poor Ndigbo, they've been so marginalise from everything, even their own brother Rochas, don marginalise them tey tey. Sharp boy!

You're soo on point...

But you know what, i'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm waiting till Jonathan's second term is over to see what their next target will be because in their mind, Jonathan will hand over to them. The crop of leaders we have now have absolutely nothing to offer.

Is it the likes of Theo Orji, Elechi etc that you're expecting to create a hub? Hub ko Hobnobs ni.

Eko Atlantic:

Yea. But I must correct you by saying he HOODWINKED not just Igbos but Yorubas and a good population of the north into voting him in 2011.

Why the deputy for Imo state?
Then, it must be South East PDP and APGA/PDP governors meet over 2015.

The meeting was tagged operation GEJ 2015! Ground Easterners Jointly 2015.....GEJ to commission the project.

Policewoman: Yea. But I must correct you by saying he HOODWINKED not just Igbos but Yorubas and a good population of the north into voting him in 2011.

sure, but the Yorubas ain't falling for his crap anymore. As for the SE, he still has 95% votes.

Give SE a chance to rule na, haba! Nigeria no be WAZOBIA again?

If the Azikwe in his name worked any magic during the 2011 election, then some people are really very very stupid.

Eko Atlantic:

Goodluck Ebelechukwu Azikiwe is an ibo man, they're are not marginalized.

... And also an Ijaw man? You are invariably giving him dual paternity which qualifies him as a REAL " BASTARD"!

pappyshun: The meeting was tagged operation GEJ 2015! Ground Easterners Jointly 2015.....GEJ to commission the project.

If you get fooled twices then you are certainly a fool.Trace your identity and be a solid entity then your lost glory will be recovered.Era of marginalisation can be brought to an end!LET THE EASTHERN GOVERNORS PUT ON THEIR THINKING CAP.

Policewoman: So politics is better than discussing how the 2nd Niger bridge should be completed, alongside the federal roads in the southeast? Why are our governors so hopeless? Umu anu mpama

They are indeed bunch of hopless sellouts. This is why i say Ndi igbo does not need political appointments .We need developments especially a Refinery. It is so disheartening that there is no refinery in the whole of South east .Shame to our governors.
