Ten governors gather in Lagos; intensify moves against Jonathan, PDP



Ten governors of the opposition political parties today endorsed the proposed merger plans of their parties.

The need to urgently rescue Nigeria from teetering into the abyss was the crux of an emergency meeting among some governors in the country.

The governors, who met for four hours at the Lagos House, Marina, said the merger is necessary so as to steer the ship of the country from running aground.

Rising from the meeting, the governors in a communique entitled: ‘We Endorse a Merge to Rescue Nigeria,’ endorsed and read by the governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, said the governors resolved that to rescue the country is a task that must be done.

The ten governors, who met at the State House Marina, include Babatunde Raji Fashola (Lagos); Rauf Aregbesola (Osun);
Senator Isiaq Ajimobi (Oyo); Senator Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun); Dr. Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti).

Other governors were Owelle Rochas Okorocha (Imo); Alhaji AbdulAzeez Yari (Zamfara); Alhaji Tanko Almukura (Nassarawa); while Yobe State Governor was represented by Senator Dejere Alkali.

Five of the governors are of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), one from All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), one from (CPC) and three from All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP).

Besides, the governors represent three four out of the six geo-political zones of the country – South-West, South-East, North-West and North-East.

According to the Governors Rauf Aregbesola, Fashola, Ajimobi, Amosun and Fayemi, as progressive and patriotic leaders of the people across party, religious and their respective geo-political zones, they are extremely concerned about the state of the nation.

In his remarks, Owelle Okorocha of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, disclosed that the merger becomes necessary to ‘save Nigeria of the likelihood of being turned into one party state.’

He disclosed that the rescue mission, which is a necessity given the present state of things in the country, will help Nigeria get better.

Answering question from news men after the rescue parley, Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji AbdulAzeez Yari, said the proposed merger of the ACN, ANPP, CPC and APGA will tell Nigerians that PDP has done less for them by performing abysmally.

He said Nigerians needed to be asked if they are happy and satisfied with the style of governance of the ruling party.

igbsam: I foresee trouble days ahead and it will be as a result of which group takes so so and so slots. Right now it might look so good. But Nigerians are always greedy. One party would want to rule over the other. Take for instance. ACN would claim they are the bigger part of the joined parties with a contending CPC claiming that too. APGA definately is the baby and lowest rank of the group, so they would settle for less. But its a good thing sha they merged. I hope they all agreed and signed a written agreement so tomorrow, ACN faction no go talk say na dem go bring out presidential candidate and CPC would oblige.

What will the new party be called?

GenBuhari: Assuming Buhari is head of the new party?

They need to get straight to work!

They need to immediately pencil a new bill to reduce the cost of government. immediate 80% reduction in in salaries of reps and senators both on federal and state levels, a cap to amount of expenses that could be claimed.

manny4life:

Buhari CAN NEVER be the new head of the party, it's time for him to take a back seat. If Buhari emerges as the head and or candidate, the party is DOA

Wadeoye:

Shut the mess up. If not Buhari, who else?

Buhari is the man that will lead the opposition in 2015 - with him, we can easily get the entire northern vote without tears and no way for PDP to break it.

With ACN in SW and producing the VP, the entire SW block is sure.

SE is not needed because they will once again vote for Jonathan, the pdp. SW will nuetralize the votes coming from SE/SS - it will be very interesting.
