… Governors Likely To Attend presidential Dinner Afterwards


SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, (THEWILL) – THEWILL can confirm as at the time of filing this report that the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) meeting summoned by the Chairman of a faction of the forum and Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, is ongoing.

There was a brief that the meeting may be postponed in order to allow state Governors attend a Presidential dinner hosted by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in Abuja this night.

THEWILL gathered that the Governors may proceed to the State House to attend the Presidential dinner after their meeting.

At least 16 Governors had arrived for the meeting, our source at the venue of the meeting told THEWILL.

The NGF meeting is holding at the Rivers State Governors Lodge Abuja.

The Director General of the forum, Asishana Bayo Okauru, had told THEWILL earlier that that meeting may likely be rescheduled as the Governors are still in consultations amongst themselves to see how to accommodate their meeting as well as the Presidential dinner slated to begin at about 8.pm.

“It is almost certain that the meeting would be rescheduled but I cannot confirm it 100 percent as some of the governors are already airborne as we speak. The Chairman and his counterparts are still consulting and a formal decision would be communicated to the media as soon as possible,” the DG told THEWILL.
