Powerful south east leaders and state governors during the weekend held a
meeting in Enugu where they agreed to stick with the project Nigeria.
After the meeting, the Igbo leaders said they resolved in favour of a united Nigeria “where peace, love, fairness, justice, equity and equal opportunity are paramount, regardless of creed, ethnicity, gender or political affiliation”.
They also rejected claims by the two main Biafra agitation groups- MASSOB and IPOB, that they speak for the zone.
A communique read after the meeting said "the South East governors, members of the National Assembly from the South East and the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo should henceforth constitute the official organs that will speak on behalf of Ndigbo on political matters.
Present at the meeting were the five Southeast governors, National Assembly members, led by Deputy Senatre President Ike Ekweremadu.

There were also traditional rulers, including Obi of Onitsha Alfred Achebe; National Chairman of United Peoples Party (UPP), Chekwas Okorie, Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, Bishop Maxwell Anikwenwa; Senators Enyinnaya Abaribe, Gilbert Nnaji, Chukwuka Utazi, and Ben Obi as well as members of the House of Reps, among others.
