Governors from the Southern part
of Nigeria under the auspices of Southern Governors Forum are meeting today in
Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The governors from the 3
geo-political zones of South West, South-South and South-East are meeting at
the Oyo State Government house, Agodi in Ibadan.
An aide of Governor Abiola
Ajimobi of the state confided in our correspondent that the meeting will have
in attendance Governors from Southern states.
Though, the time of the meeting
has not been made public, the delay it was learnt may not be unconnected with
the ongoing 6th National Women Conference of the Oyo State Officials Wifes
Association (OYSOWA) currently taking place at the International Conference
Centre, University of Ibadan.
The conference which currently
has in attendance Wives of Governors of Osun, Serifat Aregbesola; Imo, Nkechi
Rochas Okorocha; Nassarawa, Hajia Mairo Jumai Al-Mkura; Enugu; Ebonyi; Abia;
Delta and former first ladies also had in attendance of Ex- Vice President of
Zimbabwe, Mrs. Joice Mujuru and Ex-First lady of Liberia, Senator Jewel
Howard-Taylor and women from all works of life.
Though, many were surprised with
the arrival of Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos State at the conference, the
arrival of his counterparts from Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and Seriake
Dickson of Balyesa prompted correspondent to approach a very close aide of the
governor if the news of the Southern Governors Forum meeting was correct.
The aide who asked not to be
named revealed that the Governors were on their way for the meeting billed to
take place any moment from now.
He noted that the ongoing
conference may be the reason the meeting is a little bit delayed.
He noted that other governors of
other states from the South who were expected to arrive will be at the meeting.
He said, “What I can tell you is
that Southern Governors are meeting today at Government House. Not Governors
Office, Government House.
“I don’t know the time, maybe
after they leave here.”
