Political and opinion leaders in the South-East, including state governors, on Sunday agreed to set up a committee to dialogue with pro-Biafra activists and the Federal Government over the ongoing agitation for Biafra.
The decision was taken at a meeting of South-East Elders, which was convened by the state governors, in Enugu.
A communique issued after the meeting, which was also attended by members of the National Assembly, some former governors, and other elder statesmen from the zone, said the proposed committee would dialogue with the two major pro-Biafra groups – the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, and the Indigenous People of Biafra.
MASSOB and IPOB are championing the ongoing agitation, which had led to massive protests in major cities of the South-East and South-South.
The agitation was triggered by the detention of the leader of IPOB and director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
