The South-east governors are currently in a closed-door meeting in
Enugu State to reportedly deliberate on the recent rising tension
between the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People Of Biafra and the Nigerian
military in the region.
According to Premium Times, the governors are expected to meet with
some leaders of the zone to deliberate and come out with a blueprint on
how to address the situation and challenges being posed by Nnamdi Kanu
and his group whose campaign for secession of the zone from Nigeria has
generated lots of tension in the country.
It was gathered that as at the time of filing this report, the
chairman of the forum, David Umahi of Ebonyi State, and his Abia State
counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu have arrived the Enugu Government House
venue of the meeting; where they were welcomed by the state governor,
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State and his Imo counterpart,
Rochas Okorocha, have also arrived at the venue. So also is Deputy
Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
It was reported that two days ago, Nnamdi Kanu announced his
withdrawal from the meeting citing security reports he got that the Army
was planning to ambush and kill him on the way to the meeting.
