2015: Jonathan meets PDP govs, Reps in Aso Rock

 Goodluck Jonathan - Barack Obama Holds Meetings in NYC                                                    
PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan has apparently kick started his consultation ahead of a possible declaration to run in the 2015 presidential election with a meeting with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors and members of the House of Representatives on Monday night.
The meeting which took place behind closed doors in the new Banquet Hall, started at 10:00 p.m. and was still on at the time of this report. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, was however absent and members of the House were led in by his deputy, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha along with House Leader, Mulikat Akande. Some Senators that had arrived for the meeting were turned back on the ground that they had been invited in error. They were led by Senate President, David Mark.
However, they were told that a different meeting with them would be scheduled for another date. Present at the meeting were National Chairman of the PDP, Adamu Muazu, chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State and the party's Deputy National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
The governors present included Chief Theodore Orji (Abia), Sullivan Chime (Enugu), Martin Elechi (Ebonyi), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa), Gabriel Suswam (Benue), Saidu Dakingari (Kebbi), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Ibrahim Shema (Katsina), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe), Liyel Imoke (Cross River) and Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta).
Four others were represented by their deputies.

Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
