WHAT PDP GOVERNORS DISCUSSED WITH GOODLUCK JONATHAN IN ABUJA MEETING - Gov. Fayose Opens Up

The outspoken Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has explained why governors on the platform of the party met with former President, Goodluck Jonathan. 

We reported earlier today that the chairman of PDP Governors Forum, Ayodele Fayose, led nine other governors of the party to a crucial meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The meeting which was held on Tuesday at Goodluck Jonathan Foundation Headquarters in Maitama, Abuja, was centered on issues crucial to the survival of the PDP, especially as it affects recent developments in the party.

While addressing reporters on the outcome of the meeting in Abuja, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, explained why governors on the platform of the party met with the former president, saying that the parley centred on resolving the crisis currently rocking the party.
Fayose disclosed that the former ruling party agreed to adopt political, rather than legal approach in resolving the party’s crisis.

Noting that the parley was at the instance of the former President, Fayose said, “He, Jonathan, is genuinely concerned about what is going on in the party, and he thought that an interactive session with the governors will go a long way to dousing tension.

“We know that there are so many matters before the court but we believe that a political solution will go a long way to solve this matter.
“If we believe in this party, we will all be willing and ready to pursue a political solution, which at the end of the day every interest will be well represented. That is the position of this meeting,” he said.

The Chairman of the PDP’s Governors Forum called on members and supporters to refrain from making comments that could escalate the leadership crisis.
“We want to appeal to everybody to be wary of making statements that could further worsen the situation; we should make complimentary statements that can enhance the party the more,” he added.

He explained that engaging the National Chairman of the party, Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, was part of the political approaches to be adopted in resolving the problems.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. 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...
