Following their May 11, 2021 declaration in Asaba Delta State, the 17 Southern governors will again converge on Lagos tomorrow for the second leg of the first gathering. x“I wonder what Southern lawmakers in the National Assembly are doing about restructuring? He said it was not enough of the 17 southern governors to make pronouncements. If the governors can collaborate with lawmakers, it will become more effective and remain a credible voice for the marginalised southern part of Nigeria.”Dogo challenged the governors to deploy tactical strategies to get their demands achieved. xIt would be recalled that the governors, at the last meeting, which was hosted by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State and attended by 15 of the 17 Southern governors, arrived at a 12-point resolution, which included the banning of open grazing of cattle in all the states.
