There is news about South-east governors.
After a meeting in Enugu state, the governors revealed they are committed to one Nigeria.
On Saturday, June 19, 2021, the South-east governors made said this known in a communique.
This was after the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) were accused of masterminding attacks in the region.
The governors said the violent secessionists do not speak for their region according to the statement that said, “We condemn in totality, the activities of violent secessionist groups in south-east and elsewhere. We firmly proclaim that we do not support them, they do not speak for south-east. The impression that south-east leaders are silent over some of our youths agitators for secession is not correct.
“South-east governors, Ohaneze president, national assembly members, notable leaders had come out publicly many times in the past to speak against such agitations. In order not to mismanage the unfortunate situation, south-east leaders have set up a committee to engage such youths to stop and allow elders speak to address such fears.”
“We, the Igbo, do reaffirm our commitment to one united Nigeria under a platform of justice, equality of rights, fairness, love and respect for one another.
“We have noted threats by some groups against our people of south-east. While we firmly promise to protect everyone either from other regions or ours, we plead with the leaders of other regions to protect our people living in their regions”, the communique read.
