While they are busy agitating for Biafra, others were doing something meaningful to make their region better

Are we back to the committee era? We are tired of all these useless committee

Trying to mend fence. Traitor will always be traitor no matter how sober he may be.

Okorocha & Ngige are the only easterners who sees beyond their region & also embrace one nigeria. They'll get my vote any day anytime

I'll give the president till december before praising or condemning him.

Good one mr governor. No one should be spoon feed with state resources. If they want Christmas chicken / ileya ram, they should approach their churches/mosque where they are depositing their tithe

That's good news. The development of the country should come first

The guy probably parked where he's not meant to park & the security men chained the tyre

This is where they will all be united. Awon ashiere gbogbo . It is not too late to quit

Baba please tell him that any attack on hard working Nigerian living in south Africa won't be tolerated anymore

Only God knows the number of people that have died as a result of his actions in america & now he want to use the same money he got from drug business to feed people. How I wish we are in the days of moses when God deliver judgement on the spot

So sad. O lord please forgive them all their sins & grant them eternal rest. May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace . Amen

We are too prayerful in this country & yet we are lagging behind because we expect God to come down from heaven to solve problems he had already given us common sense to solve

A failed ticket that will not fly beyond kwara & ekiti. That ticket can not win them the national chairman of NURTW talkless of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria

Any ticket that has atiku on it is dead on arrival

You can withdraw the case but you can't withdraw your extradition to God's own country

HBP will soon kill haters

She admitted that it was not former President Goodluck Jonathan that is bad but the people that surrounded him.

I'm sure if given another chance, jonny won't appoint just anybody in his cabinet.

ABUJA- STRONG indications emerged yesterday that the crisis which rocked the family of the thirty- six state governors under the aegis, Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF during former President Goodluck Jonathan was set to continue as the factional group which was loyal to former governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State has fixed a meeting for next week.
The factional group which will have its first meeting next week, would confirm Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo state as the new Chairman of the forum.
Speaking to Vanguard on the development, the coordinator of the forum, Earl Osaro Onaiwu who noted that there have been informal meetings where about nine of the governors zeroed in on Governor Mimiko as the new Chairman of the forum, stressed that an earlier meeting scheduled for this week was shelved as the governors were engaged in the negotiations and horse-trading with regard to the elections of the new leadership of the national assembly.
Asked if other governors were not interested in leading the forum, the PDP Governors’ Forum coordinator said the meeting would determine if there was such interest, adding, “Am aware that about nine of them have already thrown their support behind Mimiko to lead the forum, because they said they want very steady and organised hands now that the PDP is in opposition.”
The factional meeting is coming barely twenty- six days after the meeting of the NGF was held in Abuja with former Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom who were at the centre of the crisis at the meeting, an indication that they have all buried the hatchet and prepared to work together as one body.
The governors, made up of the All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP met last month at the Lagos/ Osun Hall of Transcorp Hilton, Abuja and it was the first of its kind since 2013 when they fell out, just governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State was elected the Chairman of the forum and he took over from Rotimi Amaechi.
Present at the said meeting were former governors Akpabio of Akwa Ibom and Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers; Muazu Babangida Aliyu of Niger; Ramallan Yero of Kaduna; Saidu Dankigari of Kebbi; Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta; Isa Yuguda of Bauchi; Governors Adams Oshiomhole of Edo; Rauf Aregbosola of Osun; Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano; Kashim Shettima of Borno; Abiola Ajimobi; Emmanauel Udom of Akwa Ibom; Deputy governor of Kogi, Yomi Awoniyi; Deputy governor of Nasarawa State and Deputy governor of Imo State.
It will be recalled that since governor of Rivers State and Chairman, Nigeria Governor’s Forum, NGF, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was re-elected as Chairman of the Forum in May 2013 where he polled 19 votes to defeat governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State, the only governor who contested with him to score 16, all was not well with the forum until what appeared to be a reconciliation meeting last month.
It would be recalled that Amaechi who chaired one of the factions, was first elected Chairman of NGF in 2011 when he took over from former Kwara State governor and now President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki.
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum which was established to among others, provide a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas, help strengthen and promote Nigeria’s federal system and promote understanding among governors and States, is the umbrella body of all the thirty-six state governors of the federation.

So far he knows the difference between millions, billions & trillions I'm ok with him

Pdp will be the looser at the end

doublewisdom:
APC = fraud!

Ability to reason well can not be subsidise because God gave all of us common sense even though some people have decided to sell theirs to become laptop dogs

The way useless news dey surface this days dey fear me

We can only hope it will get better one day

The kind of opposition pdp is displaying will make kowa more relevant than pdp in 2019

Barcanista should come & defend this

zenith4biz:
I only pity Buhari


Fighting corruption with this Senate is an herculean task


Of apc tries any nonsense with this Senate Buhari and osinbanjo would be impeached getting pdp back to power


Tinubu accept my condolence it shall be well

My brother, impeaching a sitting president is not as easy as you think. The day saraki tries any funny move against buhari will be his end. Have you thought of locking up the national assembly & making it accessible to only APC members to facilitate saraki's impeachment? Do you also realise that it is not all PDP senators that are comfortable with saraki as senate president. Only 28 of 49 voted for him in the mock election pdp conducted

So na selfie this one go do for house...... we should have stuck with KB, this one is showing "I never ready"sign

Muideen kasali

He might end up being a high profile scapegoat for buhari's anti-corruption campaign
