In the face of the persisting pro-Biafrans protest and the unforeseen implications of the continued agitations, the Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha, is set to meet with other governors in the South-East, the leadership of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, and other stakeholders in the geo-political zone to talk and agree on how to check the activities of pro-Biafra groups in the region.
This was contained in a statement signed by Sam Onwuemeodo, the spokesman to the governor, stating that the meeting is expected to take place this weekend in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
The statement stated the governor has begun to make all the necessary contacts to ensure that all those expected to be at the meeting, would be in attendance
At the initial stage of the protest, Okorocha took exception to just as he also dissociated governors and leaders in the South-East states, describing the whole exercise as embarrassing, disturbing and a counter-productive distraction.
As stated by the governor, the pro-Biafra protests could not be in the interest of the South-East people but is rather sending wrong signals to the rest of Nigerians.
He stated it has become increasingly necessary for the governors in the zone, Ohaneze leaders and other stakeholders in the area to meet and decide how to redress the development.
