South-East Govs Meet In Enugu
Gervnors of the five South-East States met yesterday at the Government House, Enugu, Enugu State.
The governors, who constitute the regional South-East Governors’ Forum, are Alex Otti (Abia), Prof. Chukwuma Soludo (Anambra), Francis Nwifuru (Ebonyi), Dr Peter Mbah (Enugu) and Senator Hope Uzodimma (Imo).
Yesterday’s meeting marked the first to be held among the five governors since the inauguration of new governors into office on May 29, 2023.
It was gathered that one of the things that featured prominently on the agenda is the issue of Monday’s sit-at-home in the region and the demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services since June 2021.
