For too long, Ndigbo have allowed outsiders to define them, most times negatively. For instance, you hear detractors deride them of lacking in political sagacity and putting all their political eggs in one basket.
Yet, the South-East is the only region where four political parties have governors – Labour Party, LP; All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA; Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; and All Progressives Congress, APC, have governors.
So, if in spite of this diversity in political leanings, the governors have come together for the sake of development, it is something to be hopeful for. The Summit is expected to enunciate a 20-year development agenda with focus on investment, healthcare, employment, transportation and culture. The first day to be chaired by Senator Pius Anyim, former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, will be graced by Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organisation, WTO, who will deliver the keynote speech – the Summit theme: Beyond 2023, time for reset.
