Report from an undisclosed impeccable source has it that the president’s resolved to meet with the five northern governors was borne out of the resolution arrived at the meeting with the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Although the outcome of the meeting was not officially disclosed, a source who pleaded anonymity had told journalists that the Governors had expressed their grievances over the presidency’s support for Jang as the Forum’s Chairman when it was clear that Amaechi won the election.
It was equally gathered that the Governors frowned at the way PDP National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur handles the affairs of the PDP, asking that he be sacked for peace to return to the party.
“The President was told to support the chairman of the NGF, who is from his zone and who was elected by the majority of the governors.
“They also told him that he should realise that he came to office through election and not through endorsement, which Jona Jang is claiming to have before the NGF election.
“They told the President pointedly that there was no way he could wash his hands off what is happening in both the NGF and Rivers State and that he must act as a leader.
“They said if he could do these three things, the tension in the country would be reduced drastically,” the source had disclosed..
