The governors of Imo, Rivers and Edo states, Rochas Okorocha, Rotimi Amaechi and Adams Oshiomhole respectively yesterday shunned the South-South and South-East governors’ meeting held in Enugu.

Though Governor Peter Obi who briefed newsmen after the meeting tried to shield the kernel of their discussion, Daily Sun reliably gathered that the meeting was to begin series of meetings scheduled for the two zones in the South-East to drum up support for Jonathan’s 2015 presidential ambition.

The meeting, held in the Enugu Government House for several hours, was ahead of another meeting to include all stakeholders from the two zones in the next two weeks.

The main agenda of the meeting, which was to mobilise support for Jonathan ahead of 2015 presidential election, a source told Daily Sun, informed the decision of Okorocha (Imo); Oshiomhle (Edo) and Amaechi (Rivers), who were believed to have strong links with the All Progressives Congress (APC), to shun the parley.

In a terse statement after the meeting, Governor Obi who spoke on behalf of the governors present said: “We considered how the two zones will work together economically in the area of infrastructure.

“Akwa Ibom and Abia states have reached an understanding with private sector to reconstruct and dualise the bad Ikot Ekpene-Aba Road to improve the corridor of both states.

“We discussed the issue of oil theft and how to curb the theft. We discussed issue of ethnic harmony between the zones and how to promote it.

“Finally, we commend the president for the various programmes as shown in the mid-term report which clearly shows that the transformation agenda is on course and we pledge to continue supporting him.”

Other governors who attended the Enugu meeting included the host, Mr. Sullivan Chime; Chief Martin Elechi (Ebonyi); Chief Theodore Orji (Abia); Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta); Chief Liyel Imoke (Cross River); Chief Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom) and Sierike Dickson (Bayelsa).

It's high time Amaechi is eased out of PDP (the party that MADE him) to his darling APC he can't try this nonsense with Obasanjo that I know! Kudos to Jonathan all the same for displaying real maturity in Amaechi's case

Amaechi doesn't want to learn from history. He will regret his actions when the time comes and by that time it will be too late for him. As for Rochas, his ambition to be president have closed all his sense of reasoning. Adams have no decision of his own because he must obey the last other from Tinubu.

Niger state governor Aliyu has told the whole world that he is ready to negotiate with GEJ, and some people in the south are still indifferent. Wish them luck sha, but hurricane GEJ will sweep every body from badagery to Maidugury come 2015.

Like say you dey read my mind, Jonathan will so flog so tey ACN go turn to Action Group

***Jonathan the moving train I throway SALUTE, whosoever God has blessed let no man CURSE***

Rochas,Amechi and Adams are in d minority. So if they are absent, it is for der own deritment. Rochas wil face d consequences of his actions whn time comes for him to inform d SE of his presidential ambition and as for Amechi, his own is finished. As for Adams nothing for now.

I don't know how it happened, bu this spirit that has overtaken the South South/South East will surely bring Nigeria to her knees.
Rochas will soon learn that surugede, the dance of ndi muo is not danced on the pages of news papers and television.

He has dug his political grave with his own hands, we shall surely make sure he enters it.

Do I have a comment for Amaechi? Any insect caught by Okpoko the bird, must had gone deaf!

I pity Oshimole who thinks that Nigeria is that type of country where 1 + 1 = 2!

What's the big deal if they're absent from the time wasting exercise??

Why do so many fools believe is compulsory that everyone must support GEJ??

If Rochas, Amaechi and Oshiomole see things differently its their opinion to which

ukpala okpoko gburu bu nti ya gburu.Rochas, Oshio belle & Amaechi nakwa echeki
