South-East Leaders & Stakeholders ends meeting; sets up committee to dialogue with MASSOB & IPOB, Interface with the Federal Government
The South-East Leaders & Stakeholders Meeting in Enugu held today. The meeting chaired by Gov Rochas Okorocha was a follow up to the meeting of South-East Governors last week to deliberate on issues bothering on security and economy of the zone. Stakeholders in attendance include Ministers, National Assembly members, etc from the South-East. The same representation applies for Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia and Imo.
In Attendance are Governors, Ministers, National Assembly members, etc This is taking place at Enugu Government House. Meanwhile there are indications from a reliable source that : 1. Lower Niger Congress was not invited to this conclave 2. Chief Igariwey-led Ohanaeze hierarchy did not receive any invitation letter to the meeting 3. Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB is not involved A strong suspicion now exists that today’s meeting is being teleguided by Buhari’s APC, using Okorocha to attempt to water down Igbo grievances with the nation. Without the three major stakeholders mentioned above, the resolutions of the meeting will be half baked.
After a compassionate review of the MASSOB, IPOB agitation in the country, the communiqué read by Owelle Rochas Okorocha the Imo state Governor who chaired the meeting of the South East stakeholders meeting today read: -A committee will be set up to dialogue with the MASSOB, IPOB as well as the Federal Government with a view to finding a lasting solution to the issue.
The elders also examined other issues including poor state of infrastructural facilities in the cities, marginalisation in the Federal appointments and other socio-economic issues that have impacted to the economic development of the South East.
Also, it was the decision of the South East Governors to set up an Economic Council and urged them to interface with the Federal Government on remedial measures.
A delegation of members of the South East was mandated to meet with the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on these matters.
