“These governors have their own agenda. They have already set the agenda long before now. They are just using the Rivers State scenario as an excuse. Whatever the agenda is, they know and God knows, but this continued move and perambulation show that there are things they are not telling us.”Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, stated this in Abuja. he said it would be wrong for Nigerians to assume that these governors from the north were concerned with the happenings in Rivers State.
It said the agenda of the governors – Aliyu Babangida (Niger); Rabiu
Kwakwanso (Kano); Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); and
Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) – was beyond the professed desire to resolve the
crisis in the Rivers State chapter of the People Democratic Party.
He said the governors would have ended their consultations after they met with President Goodluck Jonathan last week if indeed the issue of the crisis in Rivers and the desire to restore peace to the PDP were the their only agenda.
The President’s aide said the governors were merely interested in the 2015 elections. But he insisted that the odds still favoured President Jonathan to win the 2015 presidential election.
