The Youth wing of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide led by Mazi Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu says the re-emergence of the Southern Governors Forum is a major milestone towards securing the interests and aspirations of the Southern States and their people.
Mazi Okpalaezukwu, who is the Acting National Youth Leader of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, expressed the optimism in reaction to the coming together of the forum for the first time after three years.
Speaking on the development, Mazi Okpalaezeukwu commended the decision of the Governors to come together to form a formidable voice for the people of Southern Nigeria, saying that it represents a new dawn for the bloc.
He noted that the absence of the forum for the past years has brought about division and undue friction among the states, which ought to have been working together and maintained that it is not too late to begin again.
The Ohaneze Youth Leader explained that Nigeria is grouped into North and South, and that it is always good for every part to work together for the development of their regions.
Describing the new leadership of the forum as round pegs in round holes, Mazi Okpalaezeukwu said that the forum is now better poised to pursue the collective well-being of people of the South, adding that the appointment of Governor Soludo as the Vice Chairman of the forum speaks to his exemplary leadership qualities and unique approach to governance that transcends state and national structures.
The Ohaneze youth leader also expressed appreciation to the Southeastern Governors for their respective efforts towards the development of the Southeast.
While pledging their support and solidarity to their leadership, Mazi Okpalaezukwu urged them to do more in engaging and working with the relevant youth organizations for greater collaboration and synergy in the geopolitical zone.
