Three
Governors – Adams Oshiomhole of Edo, Rochas Okorocha of Imo and Rotimi
Amechi of Rivers – did not attend the South-East/South-South governors
meeting held on Sunday in Enugu.
The meeting was attended by eight of the 11 governors in the two geo-political zones.
Governors who attended the meeting
include Theodore Orji of Abia; Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom; Liyel
Imoke of Cross River; and Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta.
Governors Sullivan Chime of Enugu and Peter Obi of Anambra also attended the meeting.
Though, governors Martin Elechi of
Ebonyi and Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa were physically absent, they were
represented by their deputies: Dave Umahi and John Gboribiogha,
respectively.
Imoke, who is the Chairman of the
South-South Governors’ Forum, said the meeting focused on how to promote
unity in the zones among other issues.
He said the governors were not against the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said, “Governors of the South-East
and South- South met again today. We deliberated extensively on the same
issues that we discussed previously in our last meeting.
“Those deliberations are that we will
continue to ensure that we focus on economic cooperation and unity and
of course, focusing on our collective interest.”
