The other Southern Governors from SS and SE that chickened out during Buhari's tenure are now joining their SW counterparts who singlehandedly challenged the Northern political class when herders went on rampage raping and killing people across the country.. Glad they have suddenly gathered liver to talk of regional security outfit now that a Southerner is at the helm of affairs.

Yorubas have been challenging the North, even while in opposition.. IBB and co. can tell the tales.
The ingrate GEJ after getting to power abandoned the voices that stood up for him and was busy dining with same North that refused to hand over power. Yorubas taught him a bitter lesson at the polls, showed him who the masters are.

The person Southern Governors must watch out for is Fubara of Rivers State.. that guy is a sell out and obviously want to betray South and be lap dog for Northern elites. Wike must be regretting now because the Igbos he checkmated in Rivers State have penetrated Fubara and are dictating what he will and will not do.

U will be arrested this week, foolish man.

Racoon:
Good! The struggle for resource control. Former governor Wike took the Buhari government to court on this issue.

Memories

There are many reasons why I remember the Southern Governors Forum meetings of the early 2000s. Of course there's the fact that it was always in the news and I always know what's in the news. There's also the fact that it was one of the tools that was used to fight the onshore-offshore dichotomy battles (some people might have forgotten about that), but there's a very random reason why I remember the meetings. It's about a motorcade.

(Interestingly I'm still trying to find the time to complete my post about some motorcades that I saw in the early 1980s).


I was on Third Mainland Bridge and heading towards the Island when I saw a strange thing. It was a lone police motorcycle that had its siren on. This was quite strange. The only time that you'd see police motorcycles with their sirens blaring (at that time) was when they were leading a motorcade, yet here was a solitary police motorcycle with its sirens blaring. Most vehicles around simply ignored the motorcycle.

It was some time before even more police motorcycles went past. I was near the Adeniji Adele exit by this time. This made more sense. There were around 3 motorcycles and a pilot car was close behind them. Then I soon realised why everything initially seemed strange. There were around 4 governors (each in his official car), including the Lagos State governor, in that motorcade and it was longer than usual. All the vehicles on Ring Road had to park to allow them go past.

This occurred during one of the Southern Governors Forum meetings. It was only after I saw the plate numbers of the governors' cars that I remembered that I had read about the meeting in the newspapers.

I wish I could remember the year that this happened.

Do they need to hold meeting and raise the good points before they know what it is they are supposed to do?

OFcourse they all know, same as we do. But doings need fundings and （believe it or not） external support. They would always need adequate cooperation from their subordinates in the state political framework, the,stakeholders and the ordinary residents/masses.
To go right into those activities proposed deligently, many of them might have to borrow or sacrifice one or two programmes they'd have likely indulged in, and might put their subjects through some pains too. With collaboration, partnership and consultation amongst like-minded setup like they are having, some things might be achieved with cooperation and common vision and commitment, without much troubles in a win-win agreement.
