The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) under the leadership of Governor
Jonah Jang of Plateau State has denied any reconciliation with the
Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi-led faction.
In a statement released in Abuja and signed by the Secretary and
Administrator of the Forum, Osaro Onaiwu, the governors stated that any
such reconciliation attempt was futile as a majority of the governors
will be out of office in a matter of days and therefore should leave
issues of reconciliation, reorganisation and a new Chairman to the
incoming governors. The statement further described the purported
reconciliation as a selfish attempt by a group of governors to force new
leadership of the forum on the in-coming governors.
The governors noted that both the Chairman, Jonah Jang and his Deputy,
Dr. Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State along with a majority of governors
were visibly absent because they did not consider it a priority at this
late hour to be part of a selfish project.
