The Deputy National President, Ohaneze ndi-Igbo, Chief Damian Okeke Ogene, says the apex Igbo cultural geopolitical organization is expecting the five governors of South Eastern states to be meeting regularly to dialogue about the common good of the South Easterners.
The Deputy National President stated this in a media programme in Awka, the Anambra State capital recently.
Chief Ogene said, ‘We’re still briefing the governors of the South East on what we’re going to suffer in the future.
‘We’ll like to see these governors meeting at least every two months, no matter how busy they are, to dialogue about the good of their people.
‘The programme we gave them before was an interconnectivity of roads that’ll connect all the South Eastern states,’ Ogene said.
He expressed the hope that building a railway from Onitsha to Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Okigwe, Abakiliki, Nsukka, Awka and down to Onitsha, would not take the governors much.
He noted that if this was done, transportation across the geopolitical zone would be easy and the government would make money.
‘Our Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, said, he’ll dualize from Amawbia to Akokwa. Governor Hope said, he’ll take over from Orlu down here.
‘If they do these, under one hour, a traveler from here will be in Owerre.
‘So, all these are the means we’ll take to survive,’ Ogene pointed out.
