Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State has called on members of the Nigeria Governors Forum to ignore a Monday meeting summoned by Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau state.
It appears the tussle for who really has control as the Chairman of the forum has begun as Governor Amaechi who returned as the Chairman of the forum in an election that was captured on video, is asking his fellow governors to ignore the meeting by Governor Jang, scheduled for 7pm on Monday.
Governor Amaechi told his colleagues that for the avoidance of doubt, the only meeting is that with President Goodluck Jonathan holding in the Presidential Villa, at 9pm.
In a counter response, Governor Jang said he is aware of the meeting with the president, but that the meeting he is asking the governors to attend will hold about 7pm before the 9pm meeting with the President.
It would be recalled that the governor of Lagos State who is in the camp of Governor Amaechi approached the court on behalf of the NGF asking the court to stop Governor Jang from parading himself as the governor of Nigerian Governor’s Forum.
Meanwhile, the sole administrator of the Jang faction; Osaro onaiwu insists that the 7am governors meeting will hold.
