Governors of the five South-East states met on Thursday 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).
Today’s meeting marks the first to be held among the five governors since the inauguration of new governors into office on May 29, 2023.
It was gathered one of the things featured prominently on the agenda was the Monday sit-at-home enforced in the region by the Indigenous People of Biafra and the demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the separatist group, IPOB, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services since June 2021.
