The South-East Governors Forum on Sunday in Enugu pledged to work together in order to strengthen the political relevance of the zone.
Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra made this known when he briefed newsmen after a six-hour meeting.
He said the governors had agreed to put the interest of the zone far ahead of personal interests.
“We did discus and agreed on ways to work together to strengthen the zone both at the states and federal level,’’ he said.
Obi, who declined disclosing other issues discussed at the meeting, said that deliberations on other important issues were pending.
“The deliberations on these other issues would continue in our subsequent meetings until reasonable conclusion was reached,’’ he said.
Governors Theodore Orji of Abia, Martin Elechi of Ebonyi, Sullivan Chime of Enugu, Deputy Governor of Imo, Prince Eze Madumere, and Finance Minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, attended the meeting.
The others are Minister of Health, Prof. Dr Onyebuchi Chukwu, Special Adviser to the President on Inter-Party Affairs, Sen. Ben Obi and Rep. Ogbuefi Ozomgbachi.
