Former President Olusegun Obasanjo met with the Southeast Governors Forum on Tuesday.

Obasanjo paid the governors a solidarity visit as the forum prepares to meet the Nigerian government over the continued incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

The former president’s visit was disclosed by the chairman of the governors’ forum and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma.

Speaking with journalists after the meeting, Uzodinma said the governors reviewed issues of insecurity in the Southeast.

According to Uzodinma: “The Forum commiserates with the family of Ebonyi, Abia, Imo and indeed the entire South East region and the entire family of Ogbonnaya Onu on the demise of His Excellency, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu.

“The Forum received a delegation of the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Emeka Anyaoku and His Royal Majesty, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, who came on a solidarity visit to this Forum.

“The Forum deliberated on the reviewed report of the South East Security and Economic Summit held in Owerri Imo State on 28th September 2023, and agreed to implement the aspects of the report about security and economic integration of the South East region and affirmed its desire to put actionable plans on the key issues agreed.”
