With the storm over the shift of polls yet to settle,
the Presidency has run into a fix over what to do
with four of its governors said to be secretly
working for the success of the opposition in the
rescheduled elections.
Saturday Vanguard learnt yesterday that the
Presidency became convinced that the four
governors were not sincerely working for the
success of the ruling party after reviewing their
activities in relations to the presidential
campaigns in their respective states.
It was gathered that an appraisal carried out by
security agents and placed at the disposal of the
ruling party clearly indicated that PDP would lose
election in the affected states because of the
activities of the governors.
A competent source told Saturday Vanguard in
Abuja that both Jonathan and his party were
upset that the governors were hiding under the
party to work for the APC, thereby making it
difficult for them to be promptly dealt with in line
with the constitution of the party.
The source said that although the action of the
four governors drawn from the North West and
North East of the country had been discussed
extensively by the Presidency and the PDP, the
party and the president were in a fix on what to
do with ‘traitors’ because of the impending
elections.
The President is said to be particularly irked by
the action of one of the PDP governors from the
North East, who did not only give the sum of N25
million in support of the opposition candidate
campaign but also directed his officials to give
maximum logistics support to the Buhari
Campaign team during their campaign in the
state on February 3 this year.
The same governor, it was learnt, however
showed what a presidency source described as a
‘lukewarm disposition’ to the Jonathan’s
Campaign team by not mobilising enough support
for the presidential rally in his state and arriving
late to the venue of the campaign.
The governor is said to have unwittingly exposed
disloyalty and disdain to the President and his
party by coming to the venue of the rally six
minutes before the arrival of the presidential
team, thereby leaving several things undone and
ending up embarrassing the first family and his
party when they went to campaign in the state on
January 31.
The governor is reported to have delayed the
inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Team
in the state until the eve of the presidential visit
thereby making the team headed by a former
Senator from the state, to hit the rocks in his
effort to ensure a successful rally in the
agricultural state. As a result of the sympathy of
a North East governor for the APC, he is said to
have displayed a lackadaisical attitude towards
the visit of Jonathan to his state last month.
During the visit, the president was said to have
been miffed by the near empty stadium that he
noticed upon his arrival for the campaign in the
state that is close to a desert.
The Presidency, Saturday Vanguard also learnt,
was also hurt that none of the governors had
shown remorse over their ‘betrayal’ by not
speaking out against some of the wrongs openly
committed by their agents against the
presidential campaign teams in their respective
states.
It was gathered that the Presidency was seriously
disappointed that none of the affected governors
had openly condemned the stoning of its
presidential campaign train in their states while
some of them turned round to blame some senior
officers of the Presidency for the attacks.
The APC, which is fully aware of the tacit support
of the four governors, almost went to make a
formal announcement that they were set to defect
but they were said to have persuaded the party
not to do so, promising instead to quietly work
and deliver their states to the opposition because
of Buhari’s factor.
Asked what the Presidency would be doing to
sanction the four governors, the source hinted
that the Presidency was confused on what to do
to them given the need to put its house in order
and pursue the elections as a united party.
The source said that it would be
counterproductive for the Presidency and the PDP
to take any disciplinary action against the
governors at this stage since the elections were
already around the corner.
The development came as it emerged last night
that the move to ‘discipline’ Prof Jega for alleged
sympathy for the APC would be dropped if he
jettisons the use of the card readers and
permanent voter cards, PVCs for the elections.

Jonathan will fail!


Conive all u want, you are a wicked failure


Looking harmless on the outside but so sinister on the inside


#Buhari dole!
#Change kawai!

the presidency, the governors, these governors no get names?
must write anythng because u need to sell papers?
ette, i tire o

Why is this government afraid of card reader and PVC that they spent billions in getting them.

This attitute clearly shows that the government is jittery and bent on using all former crook ways to stay in power.

Honestly PVC and card readers are clearly going to reduce malpractice and anyone against it does not wish Nigeria well

Lastly the governor vanguard refused to name on their report is clearly pointing at Isa Yuguda of Bauchi

They can plan and scheme but who God don bless, no man can curse.

I wish a positive change for my dear nation. And if your demise is going to be an inadvertent price; well, something must give, bro.

That's what happens to incompetent leaders. when the wind of CHANGE blows, everyone obeys. for those who stand in the way, well, i don't need to tell you what happens to them. just use your imagination.
