Twelve northern governors who are currently in the United States of America said that they expected Nigerians to condemn their trip.

The governors were said to have been hosted at the White House on Wednesday. They however said that their visit to Washington was an opportunity to re-engage with their American partners on the most vital issues that could help them to quickly transit from volatility to a phase of peace and development in the northern states of the country.

The Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum, who is also the Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, was quoted to have stated this in a statement made available to our correspondent on Wednesday.

The statement was signed by Shettima’s spokesperson, Isa Gusau.

The governor said, “By the time we wake up tomorrow, print, online and broadcast media houses in Nigeria would have screaming headlines, that ‘12 Northern Governors storm Washington’ in the midst of economic recession, when our national currency, the naira, has sharply depreciated against the US dollar.

“Majority of our citizens will quickly conclude that we are here on a jamboree. Well, leadership isn’t only about popular decisions, leadership is about doing what is right at a time that is right.

“Our visit to Washington is an opportunity to re-engage with our American partners on the most vital issues that can help us to quickly make transition from volatility to a phase of peace and development in the northern states of Nigeria.

“Over the past few years, we have realised that the indices of development in our region have not only been some of the most damning in our country, they have also been the background against which the problems in our region have manifested.”

During the reception, the governors were said to have used the occasion to hold a closed-door meeting with President Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor, Ambassador Susan Rice.

The governors also held a closed-door meeting with U.S Secretary of State, John Kerry at the State department in Washington.

The governors also held meeting with Gayle Smith, the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development.

The meeting was said to have been held at the Ronald Reagan building, the headquarters of the humanitarian and development agency in Washington. http://www.reportaroundyou.com/12-northern-govs-in-white-house-%E2%80%A2nigerians-will-condemn-our-trip-shettima/

Una know already.

Nigerians never fail to disappoint..

Because they know Nigeria is a future world power, they want to trick you guys into accepting to break up

America will give you a cap and then take away the head

Mr Governor concentrate on your mission

Development will never come to your Region except you Northerners emancipate yourselves from Mental Slavery..... When you think you cannot succeed or develop without the help and thinking of a Whiteman.....You want to dominate other Nigerians but you worship anything in white skin.

Shey all the fine fine road, steady light and better conditions of living you saw there is going to be replicated here when you guys come back?

Or your estacode is going to be paid in Naira since dollar is scarce?

Get your priorities straight

Only God knows the true motive behind this visit

One thing I am sure of, it has never being for the good of the Southerners

Waiting for the usual miscreants to come tell us how they are planning to Christianize Nigeria.

Useless government

I can tell you there was no single person in the hall where that governor took the picture. he just posed for the camera in an empty hall.

Keneking:
Useless government

Useless no be small my brother!

Some useless arseHoles are already on rampage to defend their paymaster without equally knowing the reason for the trip..

Fools on rampage!

Whites know that the only group they can deceive for their interest in Nigeria are Northern politicians and the group that the dread for their smartness are the Igbos even before independence.
Lord Lugard knew this when he said the amalgamation of Nigeria is a marriage created by the British between the Poor Husband (North) and the Rich smart Wife (South)

Whats our business with what you do with the failed country? Fvrktards!
