Why Are Southern Governors Not Meeting? by Iampromoted(m): 1:30pm On Jan 25, 2021
With recent events in Ondo and Oyo State, I expect that Southern Governors should be meeting more regularly like their Northern counterparts.

I can't remember when last governors from the Southern axis of the country met.

My brother, this is not a time for tribal labelling. Our Southern Governors are sleeping. They should wake up.

Never knew my Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa is the Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum.

That explains why the forum seems to be inactive. Okowa is too diplomatic and in my opinion 'cowardly' to head such a forum. Like you rightly said, Governor Wike would have done a better job in heading it.

The only active and serious southern part of the south is west, that is why you always see the SW government usually have meeting.

Please name 3 things that these regional meetings accomplished in the north. If you cant show tangible results I dont see the south should copy just to look busy.

In Nigeria we only know Northern Governors Forum, headed by Solomon Lalong, Plateau state governor.

Hmm. You have a point there. But then, Northern Governors cut across different political divide too.

The north is different because Fulani holds sway there despite their differences.

If things like this didn't occur, would you have called for southern unity?
We in the Niger Delta, have our own numerous issues. When we were facing the army in the creeks non of you called for southern unity, when Ijaw communities and other tribe communities were being attacked and razed down, there was no calls for Southern unity.

When the army did havoc in south east because of ipob there was no chant for southern unity.

Make una face una front, south south can only fight with south east and vice versa.

Southwest has been the ones selling and betraying the south.
Make una face una cross

Cos there's nothing like southern Governors, they're all different people. Why 'Northern Governors' seem possible is because they're mostly bond by one religion, which is unlikely in the south. Moreover, they're almost from a tribe (Hausa) All Northern state has at least reasonable numbers of Hausa which cannot be said in the south

My guy I'm from the South-South zone too. Southern Governors need to wake up and act like bold leaders.

True. Northern Governors are bounded by a common language (Hausa) and majority are from same religion.
