NATIONAL NEWS S-East leaders ask for N50bn to rebuild destroyed Anambra property By Tony Edike Monday, December 06, 2004 ENUGU— THE South East Political Leaders Forum (SEPLF) rose from its third general meeting in Enugu yesterday with a call on the Federal Government to approve a special emergency grant of N50 billion for rebuilding and rehabilitation of all public institutions destroyed or vandalized during the recent mayhem in Anambra State. In a five-point communique at the end of the meeting held at the Independence Layout residence of the National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Chekwas Okorie, the forum also condemned the wanton destruction of public property and unceasing threat to lives by sponsored political hoodlums in the state. It decried what it described as "the covert complicity of President Olusegun Obasanjo in the terrorism visited on Anambra State in particular and Ndigbo in general in the past few weeks", asking the president to absolve himself from blame by immediately setting up a high-powered judicial panel of inquiry to fish out all persons implicated in the dastardly act. The forum also mandated a delegation under its Chairman, Chief Edwin Umezuoke to call on the Inspector General of Police, Chairman, Police Service Commission, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of House of Representatives to express total condemnation of the Federal Government’s response to the Anambra question. On the Igbo presidency project, the forum commended the initiative of APGA for zoning the presidential ticket to Ndigbo for the 2007 general election while noting with consternation and displeasure the statement credited to the Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih that the presidential ticket of the party had been ceded to the North. "The forum therefore, calls on all true Igbo sons and daughters in the PDP to immediately challenge this statement of Chief Anthony Anenih to show sincere commitment to the realization of a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction come the next general election.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact © 1998- 2004.
