The South-East Governors Forum has intervened in the face-off between the Imo government and the state’s former governor, Rochas Okorocha.
Okorocha was arrested Sunday after he allegedly broke into the Royal Spring Palm Apartment, Owerri, sealed by the Imo government on February 19.
He was later released after interrogation for a few hours at the police station.
Chairman of the forum, Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi, in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Francis Nwaze ,on Monday said that the forum was already handling the issue.
Umahi said that contacts had already been made to resolve the impasse and assured that both parties have agreed to a truce.
He stated, “South-East leaders are capable of settling their disputes internally instead of washing their linen in public.
“We sue for calm among the supporters of both leaders to ensure a timely and amicable resolution of the disagreement.”
The forum’s chairman urged Imo citizens to conduct their business peacefully and according to the law.
He also asked them to shun provocative statements to ensure amicable resolution of the impasse.
