GOODLUCK JONATHAN ASKED TO SOFT PEDAL

President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday had a closed-doors meeting with five Northern Peoples Democratic Party governors in a step towards resolving the crisis rocking the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.
The meeting, which was held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, had in attendance governors Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe) and Kashim Shettima (Borno).

The governors want the President to implement the following demand:
'' to support the chairman of the NGF, who is from his zone and who was elected by the majority of the governors.''
“They also told him that he should realise that he came to office through election and not through endorsement, which Jang is claiming to have before the NGF election.
“They told the President pointedly that there was no way he could wash his hands off what is happening in both the NGF and Rivers State and that he must act as a leader.
“They said if he could do these three things, the tension in the country would be reduced drastically,”
