South-east governors disown Radio Biafra

Governor Rochas Okorocha: spoke on behalf of South East governors

Nigeria’s South-East governors said the separatist Radio Biafra does not have their endorsement.

The governors rose from a day forum held at Imo Government House, Owerri, on Sunday with a decision not to recognise the radio station.

Gov. Rochas Okorocha, at the end of the forum, said “the radio does not have the endorsement of south east governors.’’

The radio, called a pirate one by the National Broadcasting Commission has been accused of making hate broadcasts against the government and promoting ethnic divisions in the country.

He said that the governors equally resolved to tackle the issue of insecurity and other social ills that had beset the people of the region.

He said the forum was concerned especially over the issue of kidnapping, cultism and baby factory, among others.

Okorocha said the governors agreed on the need to adequately equip the security agencies in the region for efficient security delivery.

He said they also agreed to retain Enugu as the headquarters of the south east governors’ forum office and its economic hub.

The governors also deliberated on the agitations by the people of the zone against the Boko Haram prisoners transferred to Anambra prisons.

They appealed to the Federal Government to take a second look at the development and re-transfer the prisoners to another place because of the agitations and the worries it had so far created in the zone.

  • Of course they must disown Radio Biafra.
    It is NOT their brain Child, and anyone who thinks these Governors should OPENLY support Radio Biafra is an Idiot.
    It is called POLITICS.
    Nnamdi, Biafrans are behind you.
    My contributions are ready and waiting for you to give directions.
    Igbos are being destroyed in the Nigerian ZOO.
    You cannot deny yourself when others are rejecting you.
