Sometime in June, at the peak of the controversy trailing the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, election; its chairman, Chibuike Amaechi, paid a scheduled visit to the Forum's secretariat in the Asokoro District of Abuja. It was his first visit since the May 24 election, which tore the association of the 36 state governors in the country, into two.
Amaechi to Mimiko: "I am willing to go with him to his Church, Redeemed Church, we kneel on the altar and say it before God."
Mimiko: "Amaechi should not hide under religion to cover up his anti-democratic dispositions."
Yuguda to Babangida Aliyu: "I am not into politics to betray and deceive people because I am not ready to go to hell."
Sometime in June, at the peak of the controversy trailing the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, election; its chairman, Chibuike Amaechi, paid a scheduled visit to the Forum's secretariat in the Asokoro District of Abuja. It was his first visit since the May 24 election, which tore the association of the 36 state governors in the country, into two.
In that election, Mr. Amaechi, governor of the oil-rich Rivers State, had beaten his lone challenger and Plateau State counterpart, Jonah Jang, by 19 votes to 16; but the latter, prompted by those who voted for him, and backed by the presidency and the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, rejected the result and proceeded to float a parallel NGF.
Mr. Amaechi, accompanied by Governor Kayode Fayemi, with whom he recently became more acquainted, made the visit shortly after the video of the contentious election leaked, which punctured the claims of some of the participants in the election that it was manipulated.
