“The issues of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are not isssues of North-South divide. They might not discuss those issues because, they are themselves, subjiduce. They are legal matters so it will be improper to subject such issues to emotional discourse..

” They are both in court and the governors couldn’t have discussed such issues. It was just laughable that the media was already setting agenda for the meeting as if it’s because of the duo that they’re meeting.

Mind you, after their Asaba meeting, they had disclosed that their meetings will be regular and timeous.
