Governors abandon Jonathan



All the governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, except the Governors of Kebbi and Bauchi states, Usman Dakingari and Isa Yuguda respectively, left  President Goodluck Jonathan at the Eagles Square in Abuja, venue of the party’s mini convention, on Saturday night.

The governors, after hearing about the walkout of six of their colleagues, left the venue of the party’s convention one after the other, dejected.

Even the ever vibrant Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Godwill Akpabio, refused to speak with journalists when he was leaving.

Looking dejected and unhappy, Akpabio, who had earlier spoken eloquently and assured the President of the support of his fellow governors, walked out of the venue with his head bowed.

Putting his hands in his pocket and refusing to look up, Akpabio, who is also the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, refused to acknowledge greetings from people.

But the President, his deputy, Namadi Sambo, factional National Chairman of the party, Dr. Bamanga Tukur and few others sat patiently inside the State Box till the end of the voting exercise.

Only a handful of supporters stayed till the end of the event.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was absent at the event.

  2. I'm happy the PDP is now history. I'm, however, worried that these politicians will go now and position themselves in other emerging parties and waiting like hyenas for 2015.

  5. David Nna Amadi... Our President is been deceived & surrounded wit self center & Greedy people who doesn't tell him the truth.He shd reconcile wit PDP gov, esp, d most influential Gov of Rivers & chairman of NGF whch is d bane of PDP crisis. If he fail to do dis, he shd forget his 2015 ambition, if he will not b impeach b4 them,since his own faction of PDP does not constitute Majority in National assembly

  7. indeed Jonathan is a kindergarten president, no vision, no confident, no focus, non performance, no capacity to take decision,lukewarmness , no substance while addressing the public and recklessness in term of using tax payers money in organising unprofitable ventures such as woman empowerment through the FCT Minister Bala Mohammed from fund/ money allocated to projects in FCT while the educational system is deteriorating. Please , resign/ retire to Bayelsa. You are not the messiah for Nigeria because you have no solution to the needs of Nigeria people.

  8. Jonathan has bitten the finger that fed him,and should be ready for the consequences. I know by now his wife will now be realising how good it is to be humble.

  9. God is a just God. If Goodluck knows the truth that it was Amaechi that won the NGF election, but he decided to support the losers, May God make his own faction of the PDP a perpertual failure. Since we the Nigerians were not there, God should judge them and cause the faction that lost to keep losing. Amen.

  11. PDP break up! Good omen & hope for Nigeria. This is a sign of good thing that has happened to Nigeria democracy in the last 14 years. My people learn how to accommodate other people opinion. Politics is not one way traffic.
