karl max: they think its all Nigerians that are daft .paid jounalists

Who won the secret open ballot NGF election?

My qstn once again is that if these supposedly 'wisest' men frm all d states in Nig cannot determine who got their votes among these 2 gladiators, if Dr Uduaghan as the electoral high chief cannot categorically give us the name of the winner, then we av no biz voting in the coming election 4 anyone of them if anyone of dem is contesting at all or their candidates. Secondly, those who attended Jang's meeting are worse than him, a one-eyed man can only lead but BLIND FOOL!

Goddex:

But trust our media, especially our print media, they will coin a negative caption for it to suit their purpose. I watched it on TV and 18 governors or deputy governors were in attendance.

The article only listed the 6 PDP and 11 opposition governors as those that stayed away but refused to state clearly that governors/deputy governors of the following states attended:

1) Ondo

2) Cross River

3) Kaduna

4) Abia

5) Taraba

6) Kwara

7) Kogi

Anambra

9) Kaduna

10) Ebonyi

11) Enugu

12) Katsina

13) Bauchi

14) Plateau

15) Benue

16) Delta

17) Bayelsa

18) Akwa Ibom

With the highlighted above we can see how you got a permanent seat on PDP's inner circle. Jonthan, Tukur and Gov. Jang are very proud of you.

utumunta: As long as these 36 emperors congregate to clink glasses of cognac, at the expense of the masses, under whatever guise, be it NGF or NCS, Nigeria will never know development.
This a trade union for the advancement of their interests and it is a shame that Nigerians who have been bearing the brunt of their mafia-vice grip on the polity, will join in this macabre dance of who won the election or not.
These men, through this union, dictate who becomes a councillor, Local govt chairman, state and federal legislators and (since 2007) President!
The effect of this ,is that being a governor automatically qualifies one for the office of President. They did it in 2007, when two of their members became President and vice. When Yar'adua died, they nominated one of their own as vice to the present president. Now our choice of President has been reduced to these 36 governors, who are anti-democrats and development(check how they run their states).
People like Prof Pat utomi, oby Ezekwesili, Dora Akunyili et al, who are qualified for the office of President will never get there ,since they won't have the support of the NGF.
NB: Anyone that wanted to mention Fashola or Akpabio as doing well, should stop and marry the level of development in those states with what accrues to the state from the FG and revenue.

God bless u my brother. U just took the words out of my mouth.

For posterity, here is a report from a pro-opposition paper...

And this is a different account from a pro-PDP media outfit.

Agreed. What I find ridiculous is the MISLEADING screamer of a fake headline "PDP Governors SHUN Jang's NGF Meeting' (as if a majority of PDP governors "shunned" the meeting). . . .only to list opposition characters. Nonsensical reporting.

Fashola's achievements can in no WAY be attributed to the revenue allocation being accrued to Lagos state, he's such an idealist who has came up with enormous innovative projects which has been able to bring funds into the coffers of his government, this innovative projects include partnering with private firms in the provision of infrastructures. He doesnt belong to the league of those unscrupulous governors.

Agreed the NGF might not be a group for advancing the much needed robust all encompassing Nigeria development. It may even be standing on shaky prongs of "right to associate" parlance of constitution. These do not debase and undermine the fact that the present happenings in the forum is a serious error and show of shame orchestrated by the power that be which if not challenged could be a precursor to greater and greatest chain of errors.

Nigeria is not strictly speaking one party nation. That NGF has been choosing and endorsing who be the vice/president is as a result of weak opposition. PDP ordinarily doesn't need NGF to achieve such. I think democracy is a game of majority. Jang's failure at NGF election is a step towards breaking the presidency dominance and control over the state governors. All the sterling qualities ascribed to GEJ before his election were lies. I'm not disappointed. He is the part of the rotten system. That is why he is supporting a failed Jang just to boost his ego.

God bless u. Your analyses on d true situation so far remain outstanding. If only we have a formidable oppositn tat can challenge d power tat be witout necessarily indulge in partisanship, who then cares about NGF. Single party system anywhere remains a threat 2 dev nd nigeria is no exeption. It is a cancer tat must be flush out. The oppositn will be taken seriously d moment d start fielding in technocrat instead of tis recircling of tis same politicians.

egift: PDP believe if they keep telling this lie and pressure down our throat, we will all come to accept Mr. Jang as Chairman. And this is a template for 2015 vigorously being pushed by Mr President. Nna men 2015

-- Oh God! Any association, Forum, committee, congress, person or group of persons, formed or registered with ulterior motives to continually short change innocent Nigerians politically, economically and peaceably shall be scattered and destroyed by fire I JN! Amen!

Its now obvious, Akpabio is PDP governors forum chairman, Jang is Assistant PDP governors forum chairman.

ola_pluto: If you want a picture of the bad bad governors, look at the pix above. Simples

And if you want to see the evil, Satanic, corrupt, boko haram, hypocrite, governors look at those who didn't attend the meeting. Simple.

Out of sheer desperation dis guy mentioned kaduna twice in his list, Numbers 3 & 9

Jonathan's Plans has work.. He has succeeded in factionalizing and breaking d monopoly of NGF...

Now unto d next one wch is to use d ones dat seems loyal to him and use d media to rake up Sympathy for himself...

U think AIT's mistake is ordinary? It is a calculated attempt to brainwash people dat 18 Governors were dere, because dey know not everyone will see d correction....

Longeria: And if you want to see the evil, Satanic, corrupt, boko haram, hypocrite, governors look at those who didn't attend the meeting. Simple.

You urself u are a hypocrite, since u saw,observed and decided to turn a blind eye to wat these democratically elected governors did at d last NGF election.

You can as well compare their population too

3ace: . And with Rotimi as the chairman whom I heard has an eye in Aso rock, Jonathan's chances to come back might be jeopardized. Both of them being south southerners will slash Jonathan's votes from the region. Jonathan recognises this hence the Jang's faction..

. My broda point of correction. Amaechi can never split de votes for Goodluck in de south south or even in Rivers State.

Don't be too sure. What if Amaechi contests as a presidential candidate?

sova: Nna u listed kaduna twice3 nd 9 to mk up 18 govs, INEC need to employ u as electn riggin expert

Sorry, Gombe. Number 9 is Gombe.

@ Ziccot, I beg to differ on your views on the rising potency of the leadership of the governor's forum. If its not checked, will run parallel to the presidency. Any over ambitiuos governor will seize it by force as is been observed right now. The idea of governor's forum will work well in an advanced democracy, but here in naija, hmmm.. if they give u allow, u will look for allowance.

Secondly, governors believe that after their 8 years tenure in office, the next level is the presidency. Recall that the NGF has produced the last 2 presidents and vice presidents. Its also an unhealthy trend that must be broken. I believe we can get better presidents if we spread our search wider than narrow it on 36 governors

.

Military! Military!! Military!!! time to wipe out the oppressors. This is not democracy, it is opportunist system of government. Nigeria is not ripe for democracy.

Even if its only two governors that aTtend isn't it a shame thaT some of us actually are defending jonah jangs action
There was an election and you lost why oh why would anyone say he won? 19votes to 16
The Voting was counted and jang lostam shocked that our generation would endorse this

This is not NGF but DGF. The caption behind them should have read Divided Governors forum. Shameless oldies!.

If this current government government do their thing unchecked, Nigeria will be worst for it. Pressure groups like the NGF, etc, then whatever the presidency want it does and push it down our throats.

These governors are from different parties, religion, states and ethic groups. So when they take a decision there are so many factors that is deliberated and considered.

Now without that in place or having a stooge as NGF, decisions of the FG could be sectarian or dictatorial and all that can be done is rants and complain - the FG will still do as it please.
