17 Southern governors in Nigeria are set to converge in Lagos State, today, for a follow-up meeting to the one held in Asaba, Delta State on May 11.
The intend to review the state of the nation as it affects the three geo-political zones.
The meeting being hosted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is to boost collective interest and reiterate commitment to a united Nigeria.
Reminiscent of the Asaba meeting hosted by Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the welfare of the people of Southern Nigeria will take the central stage, displacing the partisan acrimony between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the three geo-political regions.
Since the historic Asaba meeting, no concrete step has been taken to actualise some of the critical resolutions.
Instead of asking the Attorney-Generals of the Southern states to forward bills to the respective Houses of Assembly to support their ban on open grazing, no action has been taken.
