The Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum and Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has debunked the rumour making round, that there is a plan to Islamise Igboland and abolish Christianity.
Umahi, who debunked the rumour that plan was underway to Islamise the South-Eastern States of the country, explained that the banking system attached to the religion, was Federal Government loan programme which had nothing to do with religion.
According to him: “There is something that has been agitating the minds of some of our Christian brothers and sisters, and we read on pages of newspapers that Enugu State, Ebonyi State, and Abia State, want to Islamise South-East.
“The Islamic banking system has nothing to do with religion. So, it has nothing actually to do with whether we are Christians or whether we are Muslims. And in any case, these are loans that are being arranged by the Federal Government, and so there is nothing Christianity or Islamic that is indicated on that loan.
“So, I want us to disregard that and look at it as another hate speech from our detractors. We are still very committed to the oneness of the country that is rooted in peace, equity, justice, and fairness”
Meanwhile, the Igbo Governors who met on Wednesday, had also inaugurated the secretariat staff of the South-East Governors Forum, with Professor Simon Otuanya from Enugu State, as Director General.
Others were the Director of Finance and Administration, Mr Orlando Nweze from Ebonyi State and the Director Media and Communication, Mr Michael Udah from Anambra State including the Director, Project Initiation, and Execution, Chibuike Amaechi from Abia State while the Deputy Director General of Imo State.
Inaugurating the staff at the Government House, Enugu, Umahi charged them to show commitment in the performance of their duties, as they were appointed to join hands with the Governors to tackle the challenges facing the Igbo nation.

We don't want such bank in South South and South East at all. Let them bring us Christian bank. The governors are selfish and fools.
