egift: For President Jonathan and the PDP, NGF's election is an experiment of 2015 election Template. Here are the highlights they are fine-tuning. Your head is very 'correct'. |

“Well, we prefer the NGF meeting to a dinner. The Presidency is trying to use the dinner to divide the Forum. We know the other 16 governors following Jang may opt for the dinner but we will prefer to go hungry to protect the nation’s democracy than go for food.” Are you sure we are not talking about #100 million (monetized) dinner package here. Make d dinner sour abeg for d sake of the unemployed Nigerian youths who cannot eat dinner in their respective homes. Amen! 1 Like |

I do not see the relevance of this post. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has called for a state dinner.. Even if it is 2 minutes to the time it must be honoured! I dare not dismiss an invite from my Manager without an authenitic reason! Talkless of knowing of the invite days ahead and I plan to meet with my supervisor! Shege betides my supervisor if I dare do that! This is called Chain of authority, the decorum of the office! Even if my supervisor knows My Manager, his boss is doing it delibrately to undermine him! Why are we discussing this? People look beyond your hatred for the present President and be realistic! You will get fired in your office if you choose to fight your Boss! 1 Like |

PapaBrowne: What I have noticed with many of you opposition folks is this:NGF is Fascist,Authocratic,Tyrannical,Undemocratic etc reason being that Governors constituted the Association as Machinery for controlling the Presidency to their own advantage. The major aim of NGF is to ensure that former or incumbent Governors emerge as the flag bearers of their respective Parties or say PDP this ensures perpetuation of these Governors from one Political Office to a higher one thereby having immunity for longer years so that they can't be Probed. So my question remains y is the poor Masses interested in this NGF drama that do not serve Public interest. Be it as it may as GEJ is almost breaking the NGF so that it will pave way for qualified Candidates who has never became Governor to have opportunity during Party primaries to emerge Presidential Candidates this will be equal opportunity for all. Long live GEJ! Long Live Democracy !! Long live Nigeria !!! 1 Like |

There is much display of naivety and high level expression of bile against President Jonathan especially on this Gov Amaechi's NGF discussion. Hundreds of Gov Amaechi can never be equal to one President Goodluck Jonathan(GCFR),there is no basis whatsoever for Amaechi and Jonathan comparism.President has solid track records as an academia before entering politics.Gov Amaechi was a PA to Peter Odili at Pamo Clinic along Aba road Rumuomasi in Port Harcourt prior Peter Odili becoming deputy governor and Governor in Rivers State.Peter Odili made Gov Amaechi whatever he has attained today.Amaechi despite ALL that Odili did for him,Amaechi declared Peter Odili and the family a personal nondratal.Gov Amaechi has good track record of betrayal of even fellow students who survived him while he strugling with poverty in UNIPORT.People like Kachy,Peter,Briggs,Abiye,Esther and the host of others.Amaechi has history and those of us that knew that history appreciate his nothingness, No amount of rains can was off the Leopard's spots.It will be a misnomer if Gov Amaechi is seem to be on this same page with President Jonathan.If pro Gov Amaechi's NGF boycot the President's Dinner because of Amaechi,will they also boycot the President's security meeting.The president remain the President of the whole Nation, while the governors remain sub national leaders.The gap is obvious. 1 Like |

http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/en/component/k2/THE perceived rift between President Goodluck Jonathan and Rivers State governor, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, is set to take a dramatic turn tomorrow, as both parties test their mights in Abuja. Information at the disposal of the Nigerian Tribune confirmed that the Rivers State governor, who is leading a faction of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), had fixed a meeting of his faction to clash with a mid-term dinner to be hosted by President Jonathan on the same day. Amaechi’s invitation to governors for the NGF meeting, scheduled for tomorrow, was sent out on Monday afternoon, with details of the agenda being received at the government houses of governors loyal to his faction. In a release signed by Chidinma Oyenalim and sent to the media, the venue of the meeting was fixed for the Rivers State Governor’s Lodge at Asokoro, Abuja, and set to begin at 8.00 p.m. It was, however, gathered that the president had, weeks ago, fixed the same day, at 8.00 p.m for the mid-term dinner with governors. The dinner with the president, Nigerian Tribune gathered, was meant for all governors, as the invitation went to all the 36 state governors. “The stage is set again for another clash between the Rivers State governor and the presidency, as the governor is said to have fixed the meeting of the NGF at the same time President Jonathan had earlier fixed to host all the governors for a mid-term dinner. Both events are scheduled for Wednesday night,” a source said. One of the governors loyal to Amaechi faction said on Monday that the invitation for the NGF meeting had been received and that he was, however, set to attend the dinner with the president. “There is a limit to personal interest as against national interest. The task that we have is to keep Nigeria one, protect its integrity, while also attracting certain projects and appointments to our state,” the governor said, adding that he would attend the dinner called by the president, because he had no quarrel with the president, though there are problems within the NGF. However, another pro-Amaechi governor told the Nigerian Tribune that he would be at the meeting called by the Rivers governor. “We have confirmed today the invitation for the NGF meeting and we will be there. We have to support him since we put him there,” the governor said. Sources also confirmed the agenda of the Amaechi-led NGF meeting to the Nigerian Tribune. A copy of the agenda indicated the items to include chairman’s briefs on the new, fresh and subsisting litigations; update on Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), Excess Crude Account (ECA) and Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF); polio eradication initiative; Post-NGF election disagreement; NGF and its partners and its strategic plan. Meanwhile, Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has faulted the call by the president of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Mr Okey Wali, for the proscription of the NGF, saying the call negates the provision of the constitution on Freedom of Association. While declaring open the 2013 Law Week of the NBA, Benin branch, on Monday, the governor said “recently, I watched the president of the NBA, saying in Yenogoa, Beyelsa State, that the NGF should be discarded. I think the factor of location influenced his conclusion. He betrayed his oath to defend Nigerians on the right to associate. “One of the fundamental rights of every person, including governors, presidents, is the right of association. If presidents have the right to African Union, to United Nations, to all the other formal and informal gathering, how can the president of a learned community suggest that the NGF be proscribed on account of difficulties, whether 16 is more than 19, although he is unable to provide the answer. “If we unlearned people don’t know, the learned people should know. Then if learned people don’t know that 19 is more than 16, then I suggest that all of you should be proscribed.” Oshiomhole said when a nation was led by characters who would not stand by the truth, then that nation was doomed. “I want to submit that the environment and the overall circumstances, known and unknown, that led the NBA president to call for the freezing of the right of governors to associate borders on corrupt practice,” he added. According to him, “anybody who keeps quite in the face of compelling facts is not doing the nation any good. In any case, I do not need the governors’ forum to do what I have to do. All I need is the Edo forum.” The governor reiterated his opposition to the revenue allocation formula, saying “we must give Abuja less money.” He said Nigerians should stop lamenting that 14 years after, Nigeria’s democracy was not delivering to the people, saying that the beauty of democracy was that the people had the power to hire and fire. “Since Nigerians know the party that has been at the helm since 1999, it is in their hands to decide if they still want the party in power or not,” he said. NGF can’t become opposition to FG —Jang-led faction The Governor Jonah Jang-led NGF has reviewed its activities, warning that it would not allow the NGF to be an opposition platform to the policies of the Federal Government. “Governor Jang is committed to ensuring that the forum is not used as an organ of open defiance and opposition to the policies of the Federal Government, but, instead, one that will work in synergy with all tiers of government for the common good of our nation. “This new approach is already yielding positive results, as evidenced by the amicable settlement of the federation and excess crude accounts sharing imbroglio that has lingered for too long,” the Director-General of the faction, Osaro Onaiwu, said. According to a statement issued by Onaiwu, in Abuja, on Monday, the NGF set up a committee led by Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State to work out ways to resolve the disagreement. модули joomla 2.5 Read 9290 timesitem/15181-jonathan,-amaechi-may-clash-over-dinner,-ngf-meeting.html Fellow nairalanders this is the correct version of the story.

Is it that we are just too lazy to take a step backwards and think or we just have people that have been blinded by opposition politics commenting on here? The so-called dinner was scheduled a long time ago. Any reasonable person would even think ameachi is the one who's called a meeting to checkmate GEJ's dinner. Goshhh, we don't even have a reliable press in Nigeria any more, they've all been bought either by PDP or the opposition. I verify any news coming from the Nigerian media these days before believing it. Any news that I'm not able to verify, I just disregard cos what the press feeds us with 24/7 is twisted and sometimes they feed us with stories that never occurred |

I shudder at the thought that you actually passed through school, learnt/studied Government in Secondary School and also probably did Commerce as well. The reason for shaking my head is that none of what you studied enabled you to know the difference between an organisation and a government structure, a federal one for that matter! Can the President sack a Governor? Can he issue a Governor query? Can a President send an order to a Governor the way your Manager in an organisation would? Your cluelessness is on the same level like GEJ, passing through school without any actual education. 2 Likes |
