₦airaland Forum

Even Edo... Nawa oh

Abuja – Gov. Jonah Jang of Plateau and
factional Chairman of the Nigeria Governors
Forum (NGF), on Friday led 14 state
governors to meet with President Goodluck
Jonathan at the Presidential Villa. Addressing State House correspondents after a closed door meeting, Jang said they were in the villa to consult with the President. He said “we have met with Mr President with me leading a team of governors from the Nigerian Governors Forum to
congratulate Mr President and to consult with him on very serious national issues’’.
When asked on the specific issues discussed with President Goodluck Jonathan, the governor said it ranged from security to governance and development.
“You know the security problem in the
country and what we need to do in the
coming two years to ensure that democracy
stabilised and development continues in the
country,” he said.
Also responding to the question of the
division in NGF, he said: “Well, let me tell
you that there is no any faction of the NGF.
The NGF is one and I am the chairman of
the NGF.’’
The governors, who met the president with
Jang, included Liyel Imoke of Cross River,
Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, Emmanuel
Uduaghan of Delta, Peter Obi of Anambra,
Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa and Theodore
Orji of Abia.
Others are Ramalan Yero of Kaduna State,
Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe State,
Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Idris Wada
of Kogi, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State
and Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State.
Also in attendance were the acting Governor
of Taraba, Garba Umar and the Deputy
Governor of Benue, Steven Lawani.
It would be recalled that following last
Friday’s election of the NGF, Gov. Chibuike
Amaechi of Rivers and Jang of Plateau both
laid claim to the chairmanship of the forum.
Amaechi was declared winner of the
election with 19 votes to 16 polled by Jang,
but loyalists to the Plateau governor faulted
the results and declared Jang the winner.

Two must agree in order to walk together Amos 3:3,The forum is already divided and is not constitutional and thus should be scrapped ASAP..... I don't think any reasonable average Nigerian will miss the forum...

.. As for Amechi, if you are not going to be loyal to the decisions of ur party u bow simple... U don't want to stay in peace and loyalty with ur party yet u don't want to go.... U re just as an agent of the opposition to ruin your party... God help you.

For Enugu state Governor not to come for the event is because he might be too busy to make it because I am sure he's strongly behind Jang.... As for Nassarawa he might be unstable.... Jang is winning finally.

Growth hormone will surely give her a break through.... But my fear is that she might grow and never stop should the trick go wrong.

ewet: Why isnt this guy in custody yet? Are we in a banana rep where anarchy is the order of the day and the police seems helpless.
This is anoda Boko haram in the making if not properly handled. If the press can reach this people why is it so dificult for the security guys?

Custody? So if you were a security personnel and they call you and others to go and arrest this man once again u will go baa? Yeye dey smell.

I agree with Mark.... They should ban it ASAP is an ill wind.

Only in Mbaise ...... These ppl need to change the way they reason , always wanting to gain it all

gerald09: Yeah dey wuld I guess GEJ is making it more civilised, the military administrator in charge will ans directly to d president without disturbing the state governor n vis versa. That way d military take ova the state with d governor still in charge a little.

Thanks I understand better now but he would've given the military guys full control so that other disturbing states will take a better note

The state of emergency is long overdue..... But I thought once there is state of emergency the governors of the affected states will not perform there duties again... How come Mr. PRESIDENT said they will continue carrying out their functions? Someone should please educate me

[quote author=kettykings]Have you ever wondered where israelis were in the scheme of things before 1947 and what happened after 1947/48 when the nation of israel was declared and how the jews are now a technological/economic/military power.

Do you think israel would have achieved anything if they were still under the palestinians or they were lumped under one country called meditarania with other Arab countries .
Nigeria is a real stumbling block for the East , the East would have rapidly developed if they were not in Nigeria , same thing happened between the north and south Korea, if both were in the same country as they were before 1945 , at best south korea would have ended up as a little korean industrial zone and not an economic super power ( Samsung makes more money than all the oil wells in Nigeria).

....... even LG (south korean company) is also worth more than the oil wells Not only Samsung.

The very last time I checked my dictionary, there was/is nothing like a cheater. I know I only saw a cheat. So @ op what is the meaning of a cheater so that I can understand what I meant properly and subsequently make a comment.

Up manchester united.

a former governor who was convicted of stealing millions of dollars, has been pardoned, embezzling $55 million in public funds.

Now, the U.S. calls that a setback for the fight against corruption.

I mean how do you answer that?

OKONJO-IWEALA: How do I answer that question?......

na d main question be this. the question is very simple but too hurt to answer.

There is nothing like a cheater. I am sure we only hv a cheat.

Every reasonable being/person in Nigeria knows that Buhari and other notable northern leaders re d boko haram major sponsors. The problem is that GEJ is afraid to take the bull by d horn.

This story sounds too fake for my liking.... i still wonder what could motivate a fellow being to put up some false stories just to paint a ppl or place black.... but in case what u hv written is true, then i wish u God's grace and wisdom to mak d right decision. God is watching us all.

Up Rangers fc!!!
