Resurrection of defunct Eastern Region: We are one people, says S-east/S-south governors in Enugu as Edo, Delta (Mid West region) governors boycott Enugu meeting

• All former Eastern Region governors in attendance
• Midwest Governors boycott meeting
• Agree on political, economic integration
• “What God has joined together, not even the Niger or delineation for administrative convenience will put asunder. We are essentially one," - Gov Ugwuanyi

There appears to have been a resurrection of the defunct Eastern Region, which formed the basis for the Biafran Republic. In a meeting organised in Enugu all South South and South East governors attended, except Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, and Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, whose states were carved out from the defunct Mid West region.

The call by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for the boycott of the November, 2017 election, has generated a wide ranging sense of emotions from supporters and traducers.  While the call had gained traction among Biafran, especially the younger generation, the Nigerian police has almost criminalised it and the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), the purported Igbo party, has come out to heavily criticise IT.

How Sarduana infiltrated the Eastern Region with Umaru Altine - The first Mayor of Enugu (Part 1)

The Hausa-Fulani has for a long time longed to infiltrate Biafra. A classical case of infiltration was that perpetrated by Ahmadu Bello the Sarduana in 1952. As a result of the Richard's and MacPherson's constitution of 1946 and 1951 respectively, Nigeria was essentially divided into 3 regions. Two out of the three political parties were ethno-nationalistically oriented - the Northern Region had the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) and the Western Region had the Action Group (AG). The only party that came close to having countrywide flavour was the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), which was a merger between the Herbert Marcualy-led Nigerian National Democratic Party and the Nigerian Youth Movement. The NCNC as a result of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe's involvement with the party, it had a stronghold in the Eastern and Western Region.
