The pan-Igbo organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Wednesday, threw its weight behind the Southern governors governors in their recommendations towards ending the worsening insecurity across the country, especially on the ban on open grazing.
The governors from the 17 Southern states had on Tuesday met in Asaba, the Delta State Capital, where they made far-reaching resolutions on issues affecting the country.
Vice-president of the organisation, Chief Demian Ogene-Okeke, urged them to back up their resolutions with actions by implementing all issues they agreed on so that they did not turn out to be mere rhetoric.
He said the meeting was an avenue for the people of southern Nigeria to decide whether to sustain the current structure or otherwise.
“It is an established fact that the remote causes of secessionist movements include: President Muhammadu Buhari’s lopsided appointments against the principles of Federal Character, opposition to restructuring by some sections of the politicians, marginalisation and neglect of the South-East in the present administration”.
