Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed governors of the South-East states for their meeting held on Wednesday with leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

He said the meeting has provided a “veritable platform, which all Igbos must key into otherwise they will remain guinea pig as long as this country exists.”

The governor, who appealed to the federal government to allow political solutions to agitations by Nigerians as against the use of brute force, which, he alleged had become the hallmark of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government, said he remained committed to the call for full and total restructuring of Nigeria through dialogue and negotiation because it was too late for Nigeria to disintegrate.

Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, that Governor Fayose said he was “particularly glad that Southeast governors have come to the realisation that they cannot ignore their own in times like these as agitations are normal and must not be ignored, although the approach should be handled with caution.”
He blamed the actions and utterances of President Muhammadu Buhari for the agitations going on in the country, saying; “The father figure of this country is President Buhari and if his language does not represents unity, there will be agitations like we are witnessing now.”
