aletheia:

I wonder where y'all got this notion of a "secret ballot" from. What transpired was that 17 governors met in the Rivers' State Lodge, declared that they had formed a quorum and "duly elected" Amaechi as NGF chairman. The other faction was largely absent. Whatever "victory" Amaechi has gotten is Pyrrhic and leaves the NGF divided and no longer an alternative power centre to the Presidency. This probably is the objective...

Are you related to Creek Joe? I'm asking coz your IQ levels are d same. Didn't you read in the OP's post where it was written that Ashishana Okauru counted and Uduaghan was the Returning Officer? In Akpabio's list, an absent governor even voted. Get your facts right and stop advertising your stupidity.

aletheia: Typical! A lot of Nigerians cannot have a simple discussion without resorting to insults...and we wonder why there is so much violence in the land. What I have written is information I am privy to from an insider. A lot of what actually transpires is never what we read in the news. No need for you to develop high BP over Amaechi's matter.

I made my point without insulting anyone. Like I said, I am only passing on what I heard. Only time will tell what truly transpired at the NGF election. None of you lot pontificating or getting hot under the collar was there. But you probably need to ask yourself why 18 governors are so vehement that Amaechi was not elected. In any case let Amaechi's camp release the video of the election and thus end all this back and forth.

If Jonah cannot accept an agreement of single term he signed with the governors. Why do we expect the governors to respect the agreement signed on adoption of jang as consesus candidate. What goes around.......

same on my mind boss

djon78:

Well it is surprising cos for those 18 to come together, it may have created doubt on Amechis victory, cos they claimed that their own group won. And the way it is going now the NGF is seriously divided and weakened seriously which may be the original plan of the Ogas at the top, and once they are divided, there power will be seriously weakened.

eGuerrilla: I see Akpabio and his anti-democratic forces are already entrenching themselves, with the tacit support of the Presidency.
Akpabio, Yuguda introduce Jang to Sambo as NGF boos

The duo have also taken Jang to the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party for introduction to the National chairman of the party, Dr. Bamanga Tukur



Governors Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State and Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State have introduced the Governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang to Vice President Namadi Sambo as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum. Akpabio and Yuguda conducted the introduction at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Saturday afternoon.

The duo have also taken Jang to the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party for introduction to the National chairman of the party, Dr. Bamanga Tukur. Akpabio is also the chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.

Well, Fashola too should go and present Ameachi to Tinubu or Lai Mohammed or Akande as their factions NGF President.

superior1:

[size=13pt]You are so correct and I wont be surprised if Akpabio was one of those three PDP Governors who voted Ameachi. If i were Jona (God-forbid), I will be weary of Akpabio[/size]

but in nta 9oclock news Friday,I heard akpabio say that he didnt vote... did i not hear him well? I stand to be corrected o

Nigerians too dey yearn opata! How would you participate in an election and lose only to come and cry that Amaechi ought to have resigned in the first place?

Larryfly:

oh just shut up! nobody even the ass kissin akpabio has made such baseless and unfounded....so jus shut ur shit hole

Don't know while some people think with their annus. Poo Hole indeed.

phantom: I wonder how jonathan thinks this whole thing will end? Its obvious the man is a very bad politician.of all the governors you chose to have amaechi in the opposing camp.the ' clueless' tag is becoming more apt as the days go by.

You will soon find out who is clueless. The plan is either to have control of the NGF or scuttle it. Plan A did not work, over to plan B. Do not underestimate GEJ. When he get 2015 you will know he is not clueless.
Pls Note: Am no body fan(wether GEJ, Amaechi, PDP or APC)

you are on point brother, he may be clueless about solving Nigeria's problems, but not on how he would continue to stay in power. that guy is sure smart and knows how to get what he wants, it is left for Nigerians to get the same level of smartness.

Just passing by singing Fela - I no be gentleman at all o

This is beautiful.

Amaechi now is a saint. And the said video can not be edited or paused when the "magomago" is going on and continue when it is done.
Finally, beans where dong done, dong done.

.. a true reflection of the situation of things in our beloved country, from the leadership down to the led. I still believe that the forces of good still outweigh that of evil in numerical strength but those on the evil side of the divide are growing by the day. ..a cause for serious concern. But i believe that good will triumph eventually.

story story

Come nigerian governors, would you go back to your various states and concentrate over what you guys were elected to do? I said go back to your various states dudes. Shame on 9ja politics for imitating what we definitely know doesn‘t fits us.

Take a look at the sharp Governors backing Amechi. The likes of Fashola and co. And see those dummy sets of GEJ.
But wait a minute, Where is Peter Obi? I saw him on the Teli jubilating with Amechi's victory and his name was amongst those backing Jang..Kai two-edged nife!!!

this clueless camp members participated in an election they claim was marred with illegality but they didnt backout until when was declared and start crying foul. I hope Jonah will not take nigeria to another point of regret like OBJ left us

SWesterners think because they control the media they can as well control the way we think or analyze issues. The writer is obviously a lackey, a hack journalist of the APC, his lack of discretion and foolish suggestives diatribes only shows how desperate they want to replace Jonathan. If they have any video, make them bring am out and stop heating up the polity with suggestive statements and their usual "sources choose to be anonymous" tales by moon light yarns.
So somebody will bring out a phone in a gathering like that and nobody will notice and when somebody in the other phatom camp does he will just shout and continue abi. . . Tales by moonlight crap. Na only ardent ACN dummies una go decieve with una concocted propaganda.

exactly!! At the end of all this, jonathan is still the big winner because under ameachi the governours forum was really holding him accountable, expeciall on the subsidey fraud, but that power has been diminished but the silver linning in all this is that ameachi's group has more important states whoes voices cannot be ignored and jonathan must work with.

How can election between 35 people be an issue. Nigeria is in real mess

I cannot understand how 36 matured men will sit at a table and will be unable to select a leader for themselves. 48 hours later, they are allegations and counter-allegations of cheating, rigging etc with parallel factions already springing up. It just goes to show the bad quality of leadership we have. If these 36 old men Cannot chose a head for themselves, let us get them on national TV, and ask them to raise their hands for the candidate of their choice while we count for them.

I sorry for all of una, una no see say all dis our oga at d top dey use us play Koso, y we no dey learn sef? SMH.

Is this politics or decit

THE MAN I RESPECT
THE MAN THAT STAND FOR WHAT HE BELIEVE
THE MAN THAT TRUST IN HIS ABILITY
BOLD AND STONY
PURPOSFUL AND OBJECTIVE DRIVEN
AMEACHI, U ARE A MAN.

I DONT LIKE YOUR STYLE OF LEADERSHIP
BUT I LIKE UR gods. YOUR FEARLESS AND BOLD NESS
INDID, U ARE A MAN

Keacee: Is this politics or decit

it is called the deceit of politics .it is all a game ,just watch them

bennieman:

Only 35 governors participated with the Gombe state governor absent. Amechi won 19 to 16

And 19 attended Jang's meeting. Did you understand any logic there??
