There has been uncomfirmed reports that the Lagos state governor and his counterpart from Rivers state has been summoned to Abuja over protest happening in their respective states. I am not saying this is true but it has been going round and I would love to confirn if it's true or false.

How will he get to Abuja, by road?

All this BB users and their crazy rumour.

How can an elected governor be summoned in a Democracy?

If your story is true, then as long as Rivers state gov is involved, it has nothing to do with protest. The only 'protest' that happened iin Rivers state was very peaceful and coordinated and has now been formally called off.

Too many rumour these days. I just wanted to be clear on this case

My 1st reaction too seeing the topic. I assume the OP mean Invited.

FYI: Count Rivers out, the protest is a Yoruba thing. From Anambra to Rivers to Akwa-Ibom to Cross-River to Delta there is no protest against subsidy removal.

in fact, i love orji uzor kalu of abia state. he summoned obasanjo when obasanjo summoned him as the gov of abia state.
if at all abuja summon fashola over the protest in lagos, lagos can as well summon badluck over the protest in abuja.
the truth is that badluck is still taking nigerians for granted but i watched saddam hussien took iraqis for granted and gaddahfi took libyans for granted and we know the rest of the stories.
also fresh in my mind is the case of laurent gbagbo and we know where he is now.

Must an ediot like u tribalise the subject?

Ibo pple will never allow Nigeria move forward hence u will never test power in Nigeria

Poster , count rivers state out. There is no protest here. The only problem is the banks are not open for business, asides that, it's business as usual.

lol. Ogun State has is about the least developed state in Nigeria, that is where ex-President Obasanjo came from. How about the north that have ruled for over 30 years, can you compare there human development index with that of the Igbos. Nigeria presidency is a CURSE on your people!

Rivers State is completely out this case, The Rivers state governor suspended 8 local government chairmen on Monday who did not come to work as usual with the excuse of an ongoing strike. all activities are still on as usual, No protest, just that banks, seaports, airports and some few companies that are not in operation.

@pointB have you been to ogun state before or you are just spewing this bullsh!t based on what you have heard from bigots like yourself?

Thanks y'all

Odeshuku summoned Fashola?

Funny shitttt

Jonathan summons Fashola and Amaechi to Abuja as talks heat up

The president wants the governors to help break the logjam

President Goodluck Jonathan has summoned the Lagos and Rivers state governors to an emergency summit talks this afternoon.

According to a source in the Lagos Chief-of-Staff’s office, Babatunde Fashola and Rotimi Amaechi were asked to drop everything and fly to Abuja on Thursday afternoon as petrol protests heat up across the nation.

The presidential jet was sent to Lagos to pick up Governor Fashola whilst Governor Amaechi flew in the Rivers state official jet. The source was unable to divulge the exact reason why both governors were summoned but revealed that the request came directly from the Presidency.

Rotimi Amaechi is the Chairman of the Governor’s Forum whilst Babatunde Fashola governs the wealthiest and most populous state in the federation.

Earlier, officials of the Presidency had met with Senate and trade union representatives to resolve the impasse over the nationwide strike.

Umm, I still believe that the airports are opened, take a jet, get to Abuja, president's office will send their Helicopter to pick you up which will land you directly into Aso Rock,

piece of crap, if he summons him wit regards d protest,wat d f*u*ck iz he supposed to do n if he doesnt do it i gues he'll get sum ass whoppin(maybe 24 strokes), *, pls let sum1 remind me wen jonathan joined d military or if we r in a military regime.bullshit!!!

The President cannot summon a governor. Both of them are elected. He can urge/invite the governor for a quick chat, something I believe they can still do on the phone given the circumstances.

How will Fashola get to Abuja? The airports are sleeping, except a speedy presidential jet (there are 22 of them) is scrambled asap.

If he goes by road, this makes me uncomfortable.

Badluck jona is d biggest fool I've ever seen in my entire life. He wnt to call BRF to stop d protest in Lagos and it won't work. We're gonna protest dis badluck out of office. He's nt competent to rule 150m pple. Tooooo weak

FYI: Count Rivers out, the protest is a Yoruba thing. From Anambra to Rivers to Akwa-Ibom to Cross-River to Delta there is no protest against subsidy removal.

Stupid eediot, its people like you that we need to weed out of this country.

@the tribalist:

jona obviously doesn't even know the constitution, the guy is so dull, he doesn't know his powers and the limits

@Poster
There are no protests in Port Harcourt.
Maybe Amechi was summoned in his capacity as
Chairman of Nigeria's governors forum.

But there's been no protest in Rivers State na!

Fash suld just tell badluck to go to hell!

They were invited due to their influence and diff party rep to join FG in negotiating with labour.
Sure d presidential jet will fly BRF while RA will fly on d Rivers govt jet.
Jet tins u knw

Jona is getting dumber and dumber like Beef,Leomax and friends

I don't know why people talk stup!dly.
The President can summmon anybody in Nigeria, governer or hunter, democracy or not.

Amaechi is the leader of the governors forum and Fashola's state is the most restless, so it makes sense. Maybe a curfew is about to be levied on Lagos.
