Okorocha said the governors have resolved to consult widely with the apex socio-cultural organisation of the zone, Ohaneze Ndi Igbo,, traditional rulers, development unions, the clergy and other stakeholders in the region.

He added that those to attend the emergency meeting will include all National Assembly members, ministers from the geo-political zone and other invited stakeholders.

The governor advised IPOB/MASSOB to continue to toe the line of peace, emphasized that this is the only way to ensure development of the zone.

Okorocha said the forum was concerned about the state of federal roads in the zone, particularly the Enugu-Onitsha express road, Aba-Ikot Ekpene, Owerri-Port Harcourt and Enugu-Port Harcourt roads.
