Umahi, who stated this during a state-wide broadcast in Abakaliki, explained that leaders of the zone, including governors, met with representatives of the youth in the South-East over the #EndSARS protests, on Sunday, noted that they had agreed to sheathe their swords for peace to reign.
Umahi who is Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum said, “I think the South-East should be allowed to produce the leader of the country. I’m sure their (youths) spirit is there.
“We had a very useful discussion with the youths. They requested that we have a discussion with the President over their demands. They promised that their agitations and protests will end by the reason of their demands. Their voice has been heard and very loud. The President has taken steps to address their demands.
