List Of Governors That Attended The Meeting With President Buhari This Morning by metroparrot: 1:38pm On Jun 23, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo are currently meeting behind closed-doors with all state governors.



The meeting, holding inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, is the first of its kind since Buhari’s inauguration on May 29.



Issues such as the debts being owed state governments by the Federal Government and the lifeline being sought by state governors in order to meet their states’ demands are expected to dominate discussions at the meeting.

The meeting started at exactly 10.10am with the arrival of the President.



Among state governors in attendance when the meeting started were those of Rivers, Ogun, Imo, Gombe, Benue, Delta, Niger, Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, Kogi, Borno and Jigawa.

Others were governors of Kebbi, Kwara, Taraba, Ekiti, Ondo, Kaduna, Oyo, Osun, Edo, Anambra, Sokoto, Ebonyi, Lagos, Adamawa, Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Yobe States.



Plateau and Bayelsa States were represented by their deputy governors.

Why should they invite a mere commissioner?

It's a pity that governance at the state level has been reduced to this especially with respect to the 2nd term state governors.
For the 2nd term governors, I consider this to be proof of lack of capacity in management of financial resources.
For the first term governors, I might be more lenient, but this is obviously an indictment on their predecessor's managerial skills.
All in all the buck stops at the President's table and he should be careful to treat these requests with caution, so as not be seen to be to be rewarding incompetence.
If any bailout must be given at all, the Presidency must exact very strict conditions so that the bailout does not go the way of their statutory allocations.
In a democracy with separation of powers supposedly at the 3 tiers, I think it will not be a bad idea to request that the state governors cede the management of their state finances to the federal government in exchange for bailouts. These bailouts should not be free money, but loans on interests below commercial rates (say 7.5 to 10%) and restricted in what they can be used for with a tenure not more than 1 year for repayment after say a 2 month moratorium. It should be like an advance release of allocations. The Federal government collects the total sum with interests in a 12 months monthly deduction from the states' allocation at source.
Financial profligacy must not be rewarded.

The federal allocation sharing thing should be abolish,some states has no reason to be a state in the first place, let every state control resources in their land and pay it's workers, let them contribute 35% to the centre,all the Jostle for power at the centre will reduce, states will develop at their own pace with healthy competition.

Wike is a grass root man, ten ameachi put together cannot unseat him. but if you guys are counting on fragile buhari who could not pull NASS election Outcome in his party favour to remove wike , I guess that Will be the joke of the year.

Enugu is not owing, for Abia state maybe the governor is not owing too. Enugu Ex-governor paid workers before leaving office.
