Biafra Agitation: South East Govs Beg Nnamdi Kanu

The five Governors of the Southeastern States, Nigeria.

The five governors of the Southeastern States of Nigeria met earlier today with the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, at the lodge of the Enugu State governor.

According to sources, the meeting was meant to calm frayed nerves among the growing followers of the self-styled Igbo leader.  It was also gathered that the governors also used the meeting to persuade Kanu to jettison his hard stance against the Nigerian government and also to reach a truce regarding his threat to disrupt the November 2017 gubernatorial elections in Anambra State.

The governors were said to have been elated to have Nnamdi Kanu in attendance as he had repeatedly turned down similar invitations in the past. 

It is not clear how much ground was covered at the meeting since, according to a source, Nnamdi Kanu is notorious for breaking promises. However, those in the know said the IPOB leader was quite somber at the meeting, fueling speculations that he may indeed be on his way to repentance. The governors were said to have been quite confident that the meeting would yield positive results.
