South East Development Agenda (SEDA), a human rights and pro democracy group of
activists and professionals committed and working for the promotion of good governance and
sustainable development in the South East of Nigeria met in an extra ordinary emergency
meeting held in Enugu on 22nd of August 2012 to review and consider some critical issues of
the zone.
Mindful of the need to sustain the principles of democracy and unimpeachable Igbo value for
hard work, justice and equity and, conscious of the fact that the people of the zone has always
lost out in the power equation of the country principally due largely for the lack of committed
and focused leadership, and desirous of mobilizing a coordinated and principled effort towards
giving the people of the zone a sense of security, pride and belongingness, the forum held
that:
• That the selfless, courageous, and patriotic life of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu is unsalable and represents the ideal of good leadership qualities and true Igbo values
of success and patriotism.
The forum further resolved that:
• That the sacking of Nigerian public servants of Igbo extraction from Abia State is wicked,
parochial, unacceptable and an affront to Ndi Igbo and our collective psyche, and the ideal the
late sage stood for.
• That the said sacking of Nigerian public servants of Igbo extraction from an Igbo
speaking state known to have been developed by non indigenes, went on without
condemnation from Igbo leadership and Nigerian government is curious and regrettable.
• That the National Assembly, the Igbo leadership and indeed all stakeholders in the
Nigeria project should see, pursue and support the creation of an additional state for the
South East as a legitimate entitlement of the zone and a necessary condition for peace and
security in Nigeria.
• That the issue of state police should not be politicized but rather seen as a legitimate
and genuine panacea for lasting security question in Nigeria in line with the principles of
federalism.
• Urged Governors Rochas Okorocha, Peter Obi and Sullivan Chime to maintain their
principled, pro active, focused and people oriented development of their people without
minding all the distractions of dislodged and selfish politicians who have kept our people in
perpetual underdevelopment and misery.
Consequently, the forum affirmed the following:
1) That Civil Society Organizations should continuously and proactively drive the process
that ensures that government remains accountable to the people, especially on issues of
security and good governance.
