South East leaders have reiterated their commitment to a united Nigeria where peace, fairness and equality of opportunities are paramount to citizens irrespective of ethnicity or political affiliation.

The leaders also threw their weight behind the call for full restructuring of the country on the platform of fairness and equity.

The Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum, Gov. Dave Umahi, announced in the early hours of Sunday in Enugu while addressing newsmen on the outcome of an interactive forum of stakeholders.

Umahi, who is the governor of Ebonyi, said that leaders from the zone condemn all manner of hate speeches from any segment of the country.

He said that they were in consultation with leaders from other parts of the country with a view to engaging the Federal Government in a meaningful dialogue.

He said that the region was in full support of the 2014 National Conference report and urged the Federal Government to set up structures for implementing same within a reasonable time.

“We are also in full support of the clamour for the restructure of the country and call on the Federal Government to start a dialogue with Nigerians on the modalities for achieving it,” he said.

The governor said that the governors’ forum and South East National Assembly caucus would constitute the official organ that would speak for the people of the area.

Umahi appealed to the Federal Government to take steps that would ensure safety of the people of the area wherever they lived in the country “just as we have guaranteed the safety of those in our domain”.

The governor of Enugu State, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi had in an address of welcome charged the people of the area to forge a common front.

Ugwuanyi said that moment like that called for love among the people.

The governor said that nothing would please residents of the state than to remember that Enugu was the venue where the people of the zone gathered to resolve their differences.

NAN further reports that the meeting which held at the Nike Lake Resort had all governors of the zone in attendance.

Former Senate Presidents Chief Ken Nnamani and Chief Adolph Wabara as well as the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu was also in attendance.

Other prominent leaders in attendance included, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe, Sen. Gil Nnaji, Sen. Chukwuka Utazi and several members of the House of Representatives from the zone.

Members of the clergy, traditional rulers and the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo was also represented.

This is a good development but we need to really come together to achieve these, wholeheartedly and not just because it sounds like the right thing to say

South East politicians are unity beggars I guess. They are in support or some type of restructuring. Lol this is funny too me. Look at all the names listed there. I don't like 2014 confab it trash on many parts especially the call for more states.

Trash!

I only see three ass licking Governors, plus one that came to listen to wat they are saying.

With the deplorable state of the Igbo nation and how comfortable they were with the status quo, before the emergence of IPOB, they have all lost their mandate and living on borrowed time.

Okorocha second term was most likely rigged. Ndi-Imo never voted for APC.

Thus Okorocha does not have the consent of the people to be making ignorant utterances.

Go to Egypt wen the Arab spring first started their leaders said this exact same-things.

Anambra election remains cancelled. Sit at home is sit at home.

If you want to know the true feelings of the masses, go to the street and ask a common man his opinion about a particular issue.

You should not expect these men that are trying to protect their life pension to say otherwise . This is not a surprise.

Power belongs to the masses not few elites.

OK, when the damage IPOB miscreants caused has been done. Where were they when Nnamdi kanu was running his mouth and thinking from his anus? I need solution to October 1st ultimatum and not this nonsense

Oga stop disgracing yourself everywhere. Our Igbo brothers have been told to leave the north. If the north starts their violence beyond control then Nigeria ends from there. Simple.

If Nigeria ends how does that guarantee Biafra?

Bolustical:
Only poor Igbos like the poster below me would want Nigeria's disintegration.

By the time he is rich enough and join the Igbo elites, the narratives will change,

Tell successful Igbos like Cosmas Maduka (Coscharis), Francis Arthur Nzeribe, Orji Uzor Kalu, Pascal Dozie, Cletus Ibeto who have billions of investment across Nigeria about Biafra and they will look at you like this:

unity beggars, is it by force to be together? Even if these old men have their way, Nigeria will one day face igbo youths, by that time all these old men will be irrelevant.

As in they should just leave the north abi? How do you house them, provide schools for kids, jobs, shops for traders? No be fight, just explain
