NGF: Governor Jang Faction Summons Meeting, Invites Amaechi
The factional Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, who is also Governor of Plateau State, Mr. Jonah Jang, has summoned the meeting of the forum.
The meeting, which holds in Abuja on Sunday night, will be presided over by Jang.
Investigation shows that Jang also invited the Chairman of the Forum, who is also the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi.
Amaechi won the last chairmanship election of the Forum with 19 votes while Jang had 16 votes, but the governor of Plateau State insisted that he was nominated and endorsed by the majority of the governors and because of this, he has been claiming leadership of the Forum.
Since he opened his rival secretariat, those in the camp of Amaechi which include all the 11 governors in the
opposition political parties, except the governors of Ondo and Anambra States, have refused to identify with him.
It is not clear if the governors in this faction would discuss to agree to the leadership of Amaechi as some of the governors have met with the President to discuss the matter.
