Governors of
the five states in the South East will soon meet with President Muhammadu
Buhari, on Biafra agitations in the region.
Chairman
of the South East Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David
Umahi, disclosed this during the 2017 Ebonyi Peace Day celebration at Ezillo,
in Ishielu Local Government Area of the state, yesterday.
“I
was able to hold a private discussion with our dear president. We have
discussed all issues of agitations and Mr. President is going to further the
discussions with South East governors. And, I want to assure our people that
all our concerns will be addressed, under peace, with our President. And Mr.
President sends his regards to Igbo people.”
Umahi
added that he was shocked by the President’s humility when he listened
attentively and gave him a dose of humour during the discussion, in New York.
“…Mr.
President listens. I was also shocked by the level of Mr. President’s humorous
attitude. I said ‘sir, you have a very good heart.’ This was because, in the
course of our discussion, he said something. He said it doesn’t matter what
people say about you; that what matters is God that sent you. And when God
sends you, you should do justice to all and leave the rest to God.
“So,
it doesn’t matter how we feel. What matters is that we must use dialogue,
peaceful approach, prayers, commitment and love, to get to where we want to be.
And, before now, we were noted for hard work. We must go back to it. We must go
back to loving ourselves,” Umahi said.
