The southern Senators Forum, Wednesday re-emerged at the senate after being in oblivion for some years, saying they stand with Nigeria's unity even as there are several agitations, especially that by the indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, for actualisation of Biafra.
Recall that the forum's activity was last noticed 2006 and 2007, during the tenure of ken Nnamani as President of the Senate. It had sen, Ifeanyi Ararume as chairman.
Announcing the revival of the forum after its meeting at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, said that it was inevitable that the group re-emerged and existed.
He said that as lawmakers, they must get closer to the grassroots in order to provide them with the basic needs of life.
"We must ensure that we take decisions that will enable us get closer to our people as we provide a shoulder they can lean on.
We are alive to our responsibilities. It is not just to pass Bills. We will take on topical issues that will alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians like security and creation of employment.
