ABUJA —THE Nineteen state
governors under the aegis,
Northern States Governors
Forum, NSGF have concluded
arrangements to sue President Goodluck Jonathan over the
failure of the Federal
Government to allocate funds
with which to address the
security challenge in the north. Rising from a meeting in Abuja,
the governors according to a
source have also agreed to
settle for compromise with their
colleagues from the south on the
issue of On/off shore crisis A source at the meeting told
Vanguard that the northern
governors chose the option of
dragging the federal
government to court because
they are not happy that rather than manage the security
challenge in the entire northern
zone, the federal government
was only concentrating on the
nation’s capital city, Abuja. The governors complained that
they have been spending their
extra budgetary allocation to
address the problem of
insecurity which was really
affecting governance as they were unable to deliver dividends
of democracy to their people. The governors, the source said,
argued that the extra
budgetary wass spent to
manage the police through the
purchase of vehicles, police
equipment and anti_bomb facilities. According to the source, the
governors from the north have
also chosen the compromise
position on onshore /offshore
because they were entertaining
fears that the southern governors would not support
them following the stand of the
northern governors on state
police where they backed out
after the thirty-six state
governors under the aegis, Nigeria governors Forum, NGF had
agreed have state Police. The northern governors, it will be
recalled had called for a revisit
of the on-shore and offshore
dichotomy, just as they had
constituted a technical
committee to study the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB
