Bauchi State Governor Isa Yuguda has rescinded his earlier decision to quit the Northern States Governors’ Forum, NSGF, following “intense pressure” from the elders in the region.

The Chief of Staff to the governor, Alhaji Yusuf Musa Gumli, disclosed this while briefing journalists at the Government House in Bauchi. Gumli said Yuguda decided to quit the NSGF as fallout of the crisis rocking the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, NGF.

“He quit the forum in realisation of unfairness of the past as regard the earlier decision of the forum that nominated Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State for the NGF,” the chief of staff said.

Gumli said Yuguda’s decision to return to the forum followed pressure from northern elders who urged him to rejoin his colleagues.

Asked if Yuguda’s earlier decision to quit the NSGF was based on his political ambition, Gumli wondered if it was a crime for anyone to nurse political ambition.

A pointer to the fact that, Jona will be alone in 2015 except the clannish Niger delta (excluding Edo and Rivers) and my sentimental and timid Igbo brothers who always support any government in power. Fingers crossed.
