The Chairman of the forum, Gov. Dave Umahi in a communiqué issued at the end of a meeting between members of the forum and iPOB leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu said that the meeting deliberated on the demands of the group and had noted their concerns.
“However, the meeting agreed that the demands by IPOB should not be absolute, rather, the governors shall immediately engage the IPOB to further meetings,” he said.
The governor said that the meeting, which would also have in attendance other notable leaders of the group, would be aimed at quickening the resolution of all issues amicably.
“We, therefore, request from all concerned to give the governors opportunity to amicably sort out the problems,” Umahi said.
