The Governor Jonah Jang-led faction of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) appears undeterred by the legal moves against it as it has scheduled a meeting for tomorrow in Abuja.
The meeting will discuss issues surrounding the Federation Account and Excess Crude Account, according to a letter of invitation by Jang, the governor of Plateau State.
A member of the NGF and governor of Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, had dragged Jang to court to compel him from parading himself as the NGF Chairman.
The Governors Forum had broken into two factions one led by Jang and the other by Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State – after a controversial election which saw Amaechi emerging winner by 19-16 votes.
Fashola belongs to the Amaechi group.
Confirming the Jang faction’s meeting to newsmen yesterday, the sole administrator, Osaro Osaro-Onaiwu,
The meeting, described as emergency, it was learnt, would enable the governors loyal to Jang strategize and come up with a position that will be presented to the Committee headed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim.

Fraud unlimited.Jang you call yourself a man of God but you don't fear God
ReplyDeleteShame! These are supposef to be icons of democracy & fairplay. In all media,it has always been clearly stated that Amechi won by 19 votes against Jang's 16votes. Why isn't it obvious to us that all those who refuse this mandate are enemies of democracy & we must know that the same way they have neglected the mandate in this small forum, so shall they disregard your votes when you shall vote to give your mandate to whosoever deserve it. Be it known to you that allowing this to happen means we really play no role in this political & democratic dispensation. Wake up Nigeria. Stand by what belongs to you. Your vote is your voice with which you can express yourself. Anyone who doesn't respect people's vote doesn't deserve respect from you no matter his social status....Chris
