Members of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum have called on the Minister of Finance, who is also the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to resign her appointment if she knew she would not be able to adhere strictly with the Appropriation Act 2013.

They said the non-compliance with the revenue projections of the Federal Government 2013 Budget was also a direct breach of the provisions of the Appropriation Act, 2013.

These decisions were part of the resolutions of the Governor Rotimi Amaechi-led NGF, which met in Abuja on Tuesday evening.

States which were represented by their governors at the meeting were those of Rivers, Niger, Kwara, Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Adamawa, Oyo, Lagos, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kano and Zamfara while deputy governors of Edo, Borno and Nasarawa states represented their governors.

The governors also called for the immediate dissolution of the Economic Management Team.

Reading the communique of the meeting, Amaechi, who was flanked by other members said, “Members expressed concern in the management of the economy by the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy and called for a strict adherence to the Appropriation Act, 2013, failing which she should resign.

the bribe for article media houses we now have in nigeria. Didn't see anything wrong in 16 governors attending an inaugural meeting of a man who claimed 19 governors voted for him.

While when jang held his own inaugural meeting 18 governors attended.

So could this be the authentic people who voted?? I see why in a law court they put sentiment aside and use only verifiable evidence and fact to make informed decision or judgment.

Chf,
What does the video show? Only a few shots without adequate proof to convince a neutral mind. With the polarization of PDP, we expect to see more than 16 governors in that meeting knowing fully well number matters. 11 oppositions governors plus 7 PDP rebel governors should have atleast made 18.

It is obviously clear that Gov Jonah Jang won d NGF chairmanship voting.
Where and who are d 19gov's that voted for Amaechi?
Just a proof by a turn out of d 'supposed' 19 and i will recognise d rascal and prodigal Amaechi as d NGF chairman but until then Jonah Jang remains d undisputed Chairman of NGF.
I dey laff in Ogbomoso!

Front page pls

Bunch of deluded maggots!!

Bensonite: How come only 16 attended this meeting and only few comments?

It has few comments because it doesn't fit the APC/nPDP lapdog agenda.
