The governors loyal to Mr. Amaechi met briefly.

The meeting of the Nigeria Governors Forum scheduled to hold at the Rivers State governor’s lodge was rescheduled on Wednesday evening as attendees agreed to attend a dinner with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Sources at the meeting say 15 governors were initially present for the meeting called by Rotimi Amaechi, the Chairman of the Forum. The attendees are believed to be governors loyal to Mr. Amaechi who defeated Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau by 19 votes to 16 last month to re-emerge as the forum’s chairman. Mr. Jang, alongside 15 other governors have since formed a parallel forum.

The attendees include the major supporters of Mr. Amaechi including governors of Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Imo, Borno, Kano, Jigawa, Adamawa, Zamfara, Osun, Edo, and Niger.

Though some members of the forum questioned the timing of the presidential dinner, saying it was a ploy by the presidency, who is believed to be against Mr. Amaechi, to undermine the meeting, all agreed there was need to honour the presidency by attending the dinner, a source said.

Just as the governors were getting ready to leave for the dinner, after their brief meeting, the governors of Oyo and Kwara arrived for the meeting and joined their colleagues to the villa.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the governors of Yobe (still expected to join later) and Kebbi (out of the country) were not at the meeting but had pledged their support to the Amaechi camp.

profola2be: It's so unfortunate that,two political big fish (Jonathan and Ameachi)from thesame geo-political zone are not in good terms!
Besides,what will Jonathan gain by bring his brothe Ameachi down?
I just want the two of them to reason that,there will be continuation of life and existence after their present political post,how will they relate with eachother then?

Simulacrum:
How did he felt when he brought Timipriye Sylva down?

duality: They had absolutely nothing important to discuss in the silly NGF meeting afterall. Just political grandstanding; and also to give CyberG and his likes things to rant about.

The governors are going to put aside their differences at the party and laugh at those who get their heads worked up for nothing.

They have something important to talk about, infact the meeting was called to discuss d way forward about d revenue that was cut down from ministry of finance under d presidency. It is known fact that oga jona is d one who has nothing to say, he just call d dinner to cover up d shame of jang and i wonder when he will let this Ngf issue go and wait 4 Ameichi somewhere else, rather than ds Tom and Jerry thing they are doing on Ngf.

SlyIg: We're still waiting to hear about Amaechi's first NGF meeting.

Eko Ile:

Alxmyr: This event that I am watching on TV could not have been planned within 3 days as some of Amaechi supporters wanted us to believe.

Amaechi is indeed a sinking man clutching to everything he can lay hold on and drag everyone into the mud with him.

His hypocrisy sinks and very alarming.
