Twenty-four hours after men of the
Nigeria Police disrupted the meeting of the G-7 governors at the Kano State
Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, the governors, yesterday, denied any plans
to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for any opposition party, saying
resolution of the crisis ravaging the ruling party was in sight.
They spoke after series of
closed-door meetings with elder statesmen in Ogun and Lagos states.
Those they visited over the crisis in
the PDP and the state of the nation were former President Olusegun Obasanjo;
former Head of the Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan; and
former Defence Minister, Lt-General Theophilus Danjuma(rtd).
At the closed-door parleys with the
elder statesmen were Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
of Kano, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa, Sule Lamido of Jigawa and
Babangida Aliyu of Niger State. Governors Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Aliyu
Wamakko (Sokoto) did not make it.
After a two-hour meeting with
Obasanjo at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, which began at
12:06 pm and ended at 2: 05pm, the governors in a chat with reporters denied
any plan to dump the PDP for any other party, saying, they were all back in the
PDP contrary to speculations that they were planning to leave their party for the
All Progressives Congress, APC.
The governors, who were in the
same Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), were driven by Governor Amaechi while
five other cars with their number plates covered followed them.
They also brought some cars with Oyo
State Government number plates which included two black Hyundai space buses
marked OIA 01OY and OIA02 OY, a Hilux with number plate OIA 32 OY
and a luxury bus marked OY 667 AOI while three Hilux trucks with no number
plates were also part of the convoy.

Their plan is to continue distracting president Jonathan from fullfilling his promise to Nigerians and leave at the eleventh hour.The PDP should go ahead to put alternative structures in their respective states to avoid last minute rush that will jeopadise their chances at the 2015 polls.Those governors are up to something and has no good agenda for Mr President 2015 bid.The are APC already just marking time in PDP to destroy the part before moving.
ReplyDeleteWhy speaking for presido? He is busy stealling your money left and right.his croonies are doing the same laying their hands on anything they can carry.
DeletePity your self and your country you can't distract a thief moreover no body has complained to you.
It will sucidal to bank on these governors come 2015.Mr president beware,there is this adage that says'If u want to get an enermy use the game of love' i guess that is their strategy' the suddenly started blowing cool instead of hot.this is the time to watch them more and closely.
ReplyDeleteThey're making a fool of themselves. 4 instance, Amaechi is calling me 4rm various Communities 2 converge at d Gov't House believing d pple will follow him 2 APC un4tunately d pple are head deep in PDP and do not intend 2 leave PDP 4 any reason whatsoever. A large crowd were seen there ystdy and there's anoda call 2 come out. D pple come out bcos they are given some incentives 4 transportation which is probably enof 4 them 2 manage 4 d day. If anybody tells u d crowd are behind u, pls tell them its a big lie. Poverty and joblessness is d only reason why u see that crowd. I promise u d pple are not 4 u at all.
ReplyDeletePointless man.
DeleteYou said"poverty and joblessness".
Are they not the everlasting legacies of the admistration of Badluck jona and the PDP.
