From Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha

The Ndigbo Unity Forum (NUF) has charged South-East governors to wake up and address the security of lives and property as well as the infrastructure decay in the region.

The group complained that regional governors have long taken the people for granted in the area of basic infrastructures and good leadership.

NUF, in a statement after its emergency national executive meeting in Enugu signed by its president Dede Uzor, and General Secretary Mazi Udemadu Frank Udemadu, decried what it called the ‘timidity and naivety’ of the governors of the region to the extent that they would not take a common stance in vital issues affecting their people especially the ravaging Fulani herdsmen.

The group alleged that it is only in the South-East that their governors invite soldiers to kill their citizens to please their political masters especially the recent army operation in Orlu and Ihiala, in Anambra and Imo states, respectively.

It challenged the South-East governors to begin massive construction of roads in their respective states, noting that of all needed basic infrastructure, roads are the most critical in providing access and opportunity for the citizens.

‘So, now we are in the dry season, they should embark on aggressive construction and reconstruction of roads in their respective States before the rain begins,’ the NUF stated.

The group added that the governors should extend the development of the zone to the provision of potable drinking water in localities and communities in their respective states.

‘Our governors should provide quality education, healthcare delivery, critically address youth unemployment through skill acquisition.

‘Each of the governors in the zone should provide at least 400 km of roads to their people in this 2021, employ at least 500 youths in each of the Local Government Areas with its attendant monthly salary of N50,000 each in their states and other amenities in this 2021.

‘Time has come when the people of the zone should become politically conscious to interrogate and demand accountability from their political leaders.

‘They lack the confidence to defend the interest of their people. Most of them are stooges to the oligarchy and agents of Aso Rock which negates the interest of Ndigbo,’ NUF stated.

NUF said that the current South-East governors are rated low when compared with their counterparts in other parts of the country and their predecessors in the region.

Road to 2023: I’ll use restructuring to unite Nigeria – Governor Mohammed

PDP may lose 2023 election if.. -Bode George ...Urges party to move convention to Lagos By Chinelo Obogo Former National Vice Chairman (South West) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has warned the party against accepting the congress carried out by its former Lagos State chairman, Deji Doherty, saying the court ruling against him may cost the party the elections. In a press conference at his Ikoyi office on Monday, George said Lagos State High Court had last year ruled against Doherty and reinstated former caretaker chairman of the part in the state, Adegbola Dominic, as the legitimate chairman. He said if the party accepts the executive produced at the congress carried out by Doherty, it risks losing the election. He also urged the PDP to move its national convention which is scheduled to take place on May 28 and 29 from Abuja to Lagos due to the fact that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would also hold theirs at the same venue on 30 and 31. "It is important to point out that Deji Doherty was removed by a court of competent jurisdiction, therefore any congress he conducts is null and void under the law. It will be better to avoid any of the candidates that emerged from the congress he conducted so that in future, no one will tell you that the election is illegal. "I want to use this medium to speak on the venue for the convention. APC wants to hold their national convention on May 30 and 31 and we are holding ours on May 28 and 29 in Abuja. How is that possible? People would arrive for the PDP convention two or three days before the day and APC delegates would also arrive few days before theirs. This could create confusion which would be disastrous for us. "Because we want to impact positively in the minds of Nigerians that we are better managers without encumbrances, to move our convention from Abuja to Lagos. Which tribe in Nigeria does not reside in Lagos? If you want to fly or come by water or road, you would get here. There are many hotels, from one star to five star. Holding it in Lagos would completely cut off any plans by the APC to want to scuttle our convention. "On the issue of zoning, a memo was done and the first paragraph of that communique identified that zoning and rotation remain absolutely sacrosanct in PDP. It remained the cultural and political spinal chord of our party. In other words, people should not think that we have forgotten zoning. It remains very important in our party. "It now went further to state that the former managers of our party, when they should have announced zoning to decide whether the presidential candidate should go to either the north or the south. But because they didn't do that, everybody came out. Now that we are few weeks to the convention, would it right for the party to now say this person can contest or this person cannot contest. "People have started campaigning, even members of the same family and you cannot rob Peter to pay Paul. How would you tell those who have been spending money and time not to contest because you have zoned it? How would they feel? A divided party would be a defeated party. "On this basis, i appeal to everyone to cool their tempers and let us go to the game. I know that this is something that has never happened in our party. On the day of thr convention, all the six geo political zones will present presidential aspirants and you can see that we need God's intervention. We need a man who will put Nigeria before himself and would without fear or favour and irrespective of your religion. I believe so much in prayers so we should forget what has happened. It is a new experience. The ability of our party to rise above that would be a measure of conviction to the electorate that we are better managers," he said.
