The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) under the leadership of Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State has denied reports of a reconciliation with the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi-led faction of the body.
In a statement released in Abuja on Thursday, May 21,2015 and signed by the Secretary and Administrator of the Forum, Osaro Onaiwu, the governors stated that any a reconciliation attempt at this time was futile, as a majority of the governors would be out of office in a matter of days.
The statement urged therefore that the outgoing governors, such as Amaechi, should leave issues of reconciliation, reorganisation and selection of 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 a 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.
