South-East Governors
By CHARLES IWUOHA
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, South-East Governors and other stakeholders are currently locked in crucial talks at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
News Express learnt that the meeting is centered on Wike’s recent crackdown on the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (lPOB) and devastating military operation in Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state, where Wike accused IPOB members of acts of lawlessness, including the killing of security operatives. IPOB has vehemently denied the allegations.
Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi, led other South-East Governors to the meeting on Sunday evening, November 8, 2020.
It is not yet clear if a communiqué will be issued at the end of the meeting, which was still in progress as at the time of filing this report.
