The Chairman of the Governors’
Forum, Kayode Fayemi, has spoken on his membership of the Committee set up to
reconcile the Emir of Kano, Sanusi, and Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje.
Fayemi told newsmen after a
closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja, on Monday that himself and Gov. Aminu Masari were selected to represent
the forum in the committee.
The governor disclosed that the
committee had briefed President Muhammdadu Buhari on its mission and activities
so far.
”We already had preliminary
discussions with both parties and we know that they are both desirous of peace
in Kano. We have also briefed Mr. President on the mission of this body.
”It is not a federal government
body I must say that but the federal government that is Mr President is not
averse to anything that could assist in ensuring that there is peace in one or
the most political states in our country.
”Anything to avoid a volatile
situation that may result in an unfortunate development is not wanted and it is
our expectation that given the positive response from both His Excellency the
governor, Dr. Ganduje and the Emir of Kano, we would come to a resolution of
the problem,” he said.
Fayemi further revealed that the
Governors’ Forum had taken steps towards addressing the political crisis
involving the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade
Adams Oshiomhole and Gov. Obaseki of Edo.
He said: ”I can assure you that
we are fully seized of what is happening in Edo State and at the level of the
party governors’ forum, we have engaged both parties, we hosted both parties,
we appealed to them and their supporters.
”We have taken steps and we are
still taking steps to ensure that peace reigns in Edo but that is not the
matter for the Nigeria Governors Forum, its more of a (party) political issue
but we are involved in that at the level of the party.”
