Governor David Nweze Umahi of Ebonyi State on Thursday said the South-East geopolitical zone does not want war, adding that the region also does not want to leave Nigeria, Kossyderrickent reports. 





Umahi, who is also the Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, stated this on Thursday at Aso Villa in Abuja during the weekly State House Briefing.


He lamented that “the situation in the South-East is a mixture of reality, fake news and war propaganda”.


“Are there rightful agitations in the South-East? Yes. Has it turned violent? Yes. It’s been hijacked,” he said.


The governor also added, “In the South-East, we don’t want war, we don’t want to secede, we want to be a part of a fair Nigeria where justice, equity and freedom exist.


“I believe in dialogue, and that we can sit down to know and resolve our differences and strengthen our cooperation as a people.”
