What S’East, S’South Govs Discussed At All-night Meeting

south east and south south governors

Governors of the South East, South South have warned that they would not tolerate, again, the issuance of quit notice to any section of the country.

Chairman of the forum, Emmanuel Udom gave the warning, on behalf of other governors at the South East, South South Governors’ all-night meeting held in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Udom thanked leaders in the country who ensured that the October 1 deadline quit notice issued to the Igbso living in the North by some Arewa youth groups was quashed.

“This is the last time any section of the country would give the others a quit notice, Nigeria is one,” he warned.

Udom lamented that it took many of them several hours to arrive Owerri because of poor road infrastructure due to neglect of the region by federal authorities.

Meanwhile, Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has commended South East and South South governors for resolving to work together, irrespective of political party affiliation.

In his address, Okorocha told other governors that they were meeting for the common good of the two zones and their people, as well as for Nigeria’s teeming population, adding that with the meeting, the jinx of disunity among between the South east and South South had been broken.

Okorocha said, “My brother governors, from South-South and South-East geo-political zones, I welcome you to Imo State. May I, on behalf of the government and good people of Imo State, most sincerely welcome you to this all-important meeting.

“We all know why we are here– for the good of the South-East and South-South geo-political zones. We are here for the common good of our zones and Nigeria and her teeming population. We are here for the good of all.

“Again, as we meet here in Owerri, the rest of Nigerians and the world are waiting to hear what will be the outcome of this August meeting. And I want to say we won’t disappoint such people.

“With God on our side, we shall come up, at the end of the exercise, with opinions and ideas that will, to a large extent, help our states individually and collectively, and also help our country greatly.

“I know one day, in the course of the history of this country, Nigerians will rise to such a height that the Igbo, Ijaw, Efik, Hausa, Fulani, Itshekiri, Idoma and all, will be talking as one people, and the issue of where one comes from won’t be a serious one again.

“Even on the face value of this meeting, seeing governors from the South-East and South-South sitting together to deliberate on the way forward is enough to excite all men and women. I would request that the constitution be amended to create a provision that would make governors go to states other than theirs to serve for three months. By so doing, we would further be strengthening our unity.

“And on a lighter mood, when that happens I would like to be sent to Rivers State or Lagos State for the three months as governor. Governor Nyesom Wike will be posted to Kebbi, and Akinwunmi Ambode to Imo and so on,” Okorocha joked.

    We the Biafran youths that agitating for Biafra are doing so because of the wicked and unpatriotic policies promoted by hausa-fulani-nigeria to destroy the future and destiny of Biafrans and we will continue to agitate until justice is done, no one should make no mistake about it. We want independence from a country where terrorists are embraced and agitators are terrorized. nigeria can never sustain peace and unity with guns and bullets. As long as Biafran youths are concerned Biafra must be restored. Boycotting election is the only legitimate AK47, Amoured Tanks and Fighter jet left in the hands of Biafran youths, we the oppressed people to register our displeasure with the ongoing genocide in our land, arbitrary arrests, torture and reign of saboteurs in government houses across Biafraland. If we vote, Nigeria will never again take Biafra agitation serious. The successful boycott of the election come November 18 will show the International community how fanatic and determined we are towards having our own new nation where all men will be equal before the law. The International community is watching to see how serious we are towards the realisation of this great nation of Biafra. For the sake of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who was abducted and presumably murdered by the Hausa-Fulani rulers of Nigeria and their co-conspirators in Igboland, especially Igbo governors, political leaders and Ohaneze leadership, we must as a people boycott the elections. For the sake of the blood of our fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters slaughered by Buhari, Buratai, Willy Obiano and Okezie and tag us terrorists, we must boycott the elections. For the sake of our hope and collective aspiration as a people unfulfilled and downtrodden in Nigeria, we must boycott this and every other election in Nigeria. No government in the history of the world have ever successfully suppress the will of the people. Biafran people must be given the chance to decide their fate by means of referendum. No referendum No election.

    Update: DSS. EFCC. FBI. MI5 AND OTHER HIGH……….
    Further, better information for Presidency, Dr Buhari, President-elect of the United States the great Trump, G20 , Governors, and security agencies/peace lovers

    More than two months delay Police to send just an invitation to me Anacho duly exposed that OC Legal Panti, Eno Edobor, Barr Jide Matins of Attorney General of Lagos State (AG), Union Assurance Plc and Union Bank Plc, who have our claim they took by tricks, colluded in bringing about improper conduct that led to the quick changing of Union Assurance’s name to Ensure Insurance Plc. In their greed to con and takeover our reputation and values, with no regard how hard and years it took our Nigerian/Japanese family to build.

    Jide Martins, who I handed over some of the exhibits that exposed the arson and attempted murder, based on their demand with AG office letter dated 3 October 2014, sent text to my phone and communicated to me that they have handed over to OC Legal the order of AG to re-investigate and because of the importance of the case the handover was done in the office of Commissioner of Police, Lagos State on 3 November 2014.

    Patrick Inok, the IPO under OC Legal, brought invitation to me on 12 January 2015, leaving a loophole of 2 months. On 14 January 2015, I went to OC Legal’s office to honor the invitation. As I stepped into his office Edobor picked his phone and started talking to someone; that the name of the man he brought is to match for his daughter, that he has done the prayer and gave the man the chapter of the bible to read. I, Anacho was not comfortable with what I was hearing from this man, matching people he has never met in the name of prayer. Later, I submitted my statement dated 15 January 2015, mentioning clearly the meaning of some exhibits I submitted to the AG office.

    I went to Panti several times, OC Legal never asked me any question about those exhibits. Instead, he asked me to bring a lawyer. I disagreed with him immediately. It resulted into a serious argument. At a time he started abusing me that this is why no one wants to do this case, so many police officers know me. That this order of AG was thrown around in the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DC) office. That it was by his pity he picked the case up. Upon that I refused to agree with his suggestion. The verbal fight was very serious. It was Mr. Patrick who separated us.

    I went straight to the DC and reported OC Legal’s behavior to him. Could you believe, the DC said he had no idea about the order from AG’s office to re-investigate any case of arson. The order did not pass through his office.. Kindly read full details of Update: for great Trump by clicking on the photo, URL or our page.
