Despite what they called obvious marginalisation in the distribution of national cake, Southeast/Southsouth governors have renewed their faith in a united Nigeria.

They subscribed to the destiny and greatness of Nigeria with an urge to compatriots to place the country on the front row in the comity of nations.

The governors’ pledge was contained in a communique issued on Sunday at the end of their second meeting under the aegis of the Southeast/Southsouth Governors’ Forum at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

They agreed to promote the unity of the country but urged the Federal Government to encourage investors in the oil and gas industry to have their operational headquarters in regions of operation to attract more and investments in the sector.

The communique, signed by the interim Forum chairman and Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel, stated that the governors resolved among others:

To pursue inter-regional cooperation and integration for the common good of the regions’ people.
To work together politically, align and re-align as a people that share common heritage, culture and affinity.
To articulate and advocate for issues affecting the wellbeing of the regions. The issues may not necessarily materialise immediately, but for the benefits of future generations.
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.
To condemn hate speech in national discourse, whether in individual communication, or utterances of political actors or parties and to urge security agencies to set up joint border patrols and develop more proactive strategies in combating crime and criminality.
To urge the Federal Government to come up with a clear policy on concession of Federal roads and to fast-track the process in order to ameliorate the sufferings of the people of the regions.
They further resolved to pursue inter-regional cooperation and integration for the common good of the regions’ people.

The forum, however regretted that: ”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. That the Federal presence in the regions is very minimal and only noticeable in the presence of policemen.”

The meeting, chaired by the Akwa Ibom governor had in attendance seven governors and four deputy governors. The governors are: Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (Rivers); Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta); Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu); Dave Umahi (Ebonyi Rochas Okorocha (Imo) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).

The deputy governors who represented their principals Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah (Bayelsa); Dr. Nkem Okeke (Anambra); Philip Shaibu (Edo) and Prof. Ivara Esu (Cross River).

The forum will reconvene in Owerri, Imo State on October 8, according to a statement by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State.

Hmmmm...unfortunately the governors don't have a say on the will of the people....it's not today that the people of the south east and south have been fighting for recognition by the FG how many years after the civil war....now tell me how for how long can you be patient


People say the patient dog eats the fattest bone....does that term work in the Nigerian consituation? 50yrs on

Issokay

Kanu and his piglets are on their own! There's no place in the world political history that secession have been achieved through the approach adopted by Ipob.

Their best bet should have been organizing themselves into a pressure group with a view to securing the unambiguous endorsement of the region’s political elite especially those holding top political positions who should in turn lobby for any necessary constitutional amendments that will provide for conducting a credible, transparent and internationally monitored referendum in the region to determine whether the ordinary Igbos want to secede from Nigeria or not.

Until these neo-Biafran secessionists begin to pursue their mission this way, they remain mere anarchists hell-bent on fomenting chaos in their desperate pursuit for relevance at the expense of the interests, security and the lives of the ordinary Igbos in the region.

Since the failure of Ujukwu-led secession attempt, secession agitators have always been either losers in power struggles or some frustrated opportunists desperate for relevance.

All the governors from SE/SS have a total of 11 votes to cast on the day of the referendum.

Aufbauh:

if your emirs decide for you in the north, that is your palava

This has got to be the silliest thing I've read since I registered on this forum.

It is well.

Smh.

OJUKWU was never a clown. He declared Biafra, went to war, thoroughly defeated, ran away, apologized and sober till he died!!

Only a silly leader will allow his territory disintergrates under his watch

Those Igbos claiming the meeting was about secession, see your lives now? Clowns!

ND is not, and will never be part of any satanic contraption called Biafra.

Did we expect anything different from them?
Have they said anything different before?
Who wants to leave an unproductive, backwards, begging nation that allows their corruption to thrive and fill up their bank?
Who in their right mind would want to leave a golden goose especially knowing the second that goose is out, jail cell is what awaits them?
Are we shocked? I know I am not.

The sh1t the APC clowns on this forum adhere to and use to delude themselves seriously makes me wonder the level of brain activity in each of the Buhari led group. It's like them and their president share the exact same brain. Which is actually sad as Bleep considering the ridiculously low IQ of Buhari.

Anyway OP, how is this news? ALL of these governors have stated the same thing repeatedly. Which does not shock anyone considering the greediness of the fat cows each and everyone of them are. Unfortunately for them, they currently becoming completely and utterly irrelevant with the new movement by the people. All they can do is pretty much give the one nigerian unity beggar something to masterbate on. That's it.

Next story!!

So long as there is no equity in the nation...

Where the Fulani herdsman can murder a farmer and government will look the other way.


Where there will be a fight in Ife and the IGP will justify the arrest of only one party.

Where unarmed citizens are mowed down by the military and buried in mass graves with no one brought to book.

Where a president shares government positions amongst him ethnic group without recourse to federal character.


Where a president openly disobeys court rulings and gloat over same...


The conspiracy of silence in pushing for 'unity' that benefits only a region will continue to be an exercise in futility.
Politicians can try to be politically correct all they want...


If it fails today, it will rear its head again in future until justice, freedom, and equity is made the basis of this union.

10k earners haf suffer oo

As if anyone expected them to say something different.
Of course, why won't they vote for the continuation of the apparatus that lines their pocket and fills their stomach?

Only someone suffering from delusion would wait in anticipation of what the bunch of potbelly papas will come up with.

Buhari is a ghost

This is deceit at its peak, so now a group of demented,greedy,selfish and imbecilic governors will sit together and decide the fate of millions in their regions.

This is madness and totally unacceptable let them test their popularity on the street with Nnamdi Kanu and let us see not individually but all the governors combined together against Kanu but try and keep an ambulance nearby for yourself because of the result you will get.

God bless Nnamdi Kanu,
God bless the masses of SE/SS
God bless all the lovers of freedom,
God bless IPOB,
God bless Biafra.

The govs are only being constitutional,they are smart.

The governors are just a handful and their individual votes are equal to any other person's vote. Anyway, they are on their own; they can't bind the majority on core issues of right to self determination. It's one man one vote.
