The seven governors of the Peoples Democratic Party on
Monday opened up on the cause of their dispute with President
Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the PDP.
They said the President had refused to act on the issues they
raised during their meetings with him and some leaders of the
party on how to restore the crisis rocking the party.
They added that the President had refused to act on issues
discussed with the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo-led Elders
Committee and the reports presented to him.
Rather than act, they said President Jonathan and his
supporters bluntly turned down the report.
The governors stated this in the communique issued after the
meeting, which they held in Abuja on Sunday night.
The communique was signed by the National Publicity Secretary
of the New PDP, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze.
The governors are Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Sule Lamido
(Jigawa); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Aliyu Babangida (Niger);
Abdulfatai Ahmed (Kwara); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and
Rabiu Kwankwanso (Kano).
Apart from the governors, others in their group are former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar and some former governors –
Bukola Saraki (Kwara), Shaba Lafiagi (Kwara), Danjuma Goje
(Gombe) and Abdulahi Adamu (Nasarawa).
Others include a former Acting National Secretary of the
party,who is now leading the New PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu
Baraje; Deputy Chairman Sam Sam Jaja; a former National
Secretary of the party, who is occupying the same position in
the faction, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; and Vice-Chairman,
North-West of the PDP, Ibrahim Kazuare.
Eze said the Sunday meeting reviewed all the peace meetings so
far held with President Jonathan and the Dr. Bamanga Tukur-
led PDP and commended the aggrieved governors for the
maturity they have exhibited since the beginning of the crisis.
He said, “Some of the demands presented by our governors
include the need to reverse the impunity in Rivers State, where
a sitting governor was suspended from the party against the
constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the PDP
Constitution, and refusing to uphold the result of the Nigeria
Governors’ Forum election that saw Amaechi winning 19 votes as
Jonah Jang’s 16.
“Others include our request for the removal of Tukur as our
party National Chairman knowing his flawed election as our
party Chairman, and ending the impunity in Adamawa State,
among other demands that will put PDP in a strong position as a
political party but for reasons not too clear to some of us
failed to receive the blessing of Mr. President.
“To us, we see all these as attempts by the Tukur’s faction to
destroy the party seeing that they (those in Tukur’s group)
have no stake in the party anymore.”
The meeting mandated its mobilisation/contact committee to
explore other options available to the members of the faction
should the dialogue with President Jonathan fails to yield any
positive result for its future political activity.
Eze added that the committee was expected also to liaise with
the new five other PDP governors and other leaders, who he
said had indicated interest to join the group and to submit
their report during the next meeting of the caucus that will
hold in a week’s time.
On the deployment of Police to the vicinity of the Sokoto
Governor’s Lodge, Abuja to scuttle the caucus meeting on
Sunday evening, Eze said it was unfortunate that the police who
were unable to find a solution to the menace of Boko Haram,
kidnapping and other security challenges of the country could
be cheaply used to harass innocent and unarmed civilians.
While reacting to the allegation against him, Tukur said he did
not set up any parallel state executive in any state, adding that
the party appointed caretaker committees in states where the
tenure of their substantive officers had expired.
Tukur, who spoke through his Media Adviser, Oliver Okpala,
said the aggrieved governors were not aware that the
executives that were removed in the affected states wrote to
the national headquarters of the party to inform it that their
tenure had expired.

The President will NOT OBEY these Renegade Governors. Let them join Buhari & Tinubu, their fellow dictators. Nigeria is getting ready for National Conference.

Confused set of loosers with a bane load of selfish demands and interest. Hypocrites.
