The five governors of the South East, traditional and religious leaders will on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, meet in Enugu for an emergency security deliberations.
The meeting comes after heightening activities by hoodlums in parts of Anambra and Imo States which have led to the loss of lives.
A memo by Ebonyi Governor and chairman of Southeast Governors Forum, David Umahi, said the leaders would in the meeting reach some decisions to “salvage our region that is presently battling with high rate of insecurity”.
The memo added that the meeting would be attended by Governors of the five States of the zone, Ohanaeze leaders and heads of religious and traditional institutions.
The memo read in part: “Our leaders begged that I request all governors of Southeast to please be present at the time and not on representative capacity so that together we should reach some decisions to salvage our region that is presently battling with high rate of insecurity.
“May I, therefore, request that you please endeavour to attend this meeting for the sake of Ndigbo.
“Your Excellencies and our highly esteemed leaders, in consultation with our Governors and President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, where a decision for an urgent meeting to be called was reached, may I therefore invite you for an emergency meeting of Southeast Governors, some leaders of Ohaneze, some of our political leaders, some of our religious leaders and some of our traditional leaders”.
