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.
