Pro-Biafra Protests: S-East Govs, Ohanaeze’s Meeting Postponed As Venue Shifts To Enugu

Barring any last minute changes, the planned meeting of the South East
governors, the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other stakeholders
over the escalating agitation by secessionists, will now hold next
Tuesday, in Enugu.

The new changes were communicated in a press statement signed by
Governor Rochas Okorocha's Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Mr. Samuel
Onwuemeodo.

Recall that the meeting, which was initially slated for this weekend
in Owerri, the Imo State capital, was moved to Enugu, for strategic
reasons.

"The expected meeting of the governors of the South-East states, the
leadership of Ohanaeze and other stakeholders, initially slated for
this weekend in Owerri, at the instance of Governor Rochas Okorocha,
to discuss the continued pro-Biafra protests across the South-East
states and other neighbouring states, has been shifted to Tuesday,
November 17, 2015", Onwuemeodo said.

Okorocha's spokesman also explained that "the venue of the meeting has
also been moved from Owerri to Enugu, which has been the traditional
headquarters of the South-East states".

Giving the reason for the postponement, the statement said it was
informed by the need for all those expected at the meeting to be in
attendance.

"The South-East governors, Ohanaeze leadership and others who will be
at the meeting will deliberate on the pro-Biafra protests that had
gained momentum in recent time and for the governors and other leaders
to do what they are expected to do in the circumstance", the CPS said.
