Nineteen out of the nation’s 36
governors were absent when Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang-led
faction of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum opened its secretariat in Abuja
on Thursday.
The secretariat is located at Nana Close, Maitama.
Signs that things were not going to work
well started manifesting when words went round that Vice President
Namadi Sambo, who was supposed to be the guest of honour at the event,
would not come and did not send any representatives.
The acting Sole Administrator of the
faction’s secretariat, Mr. Osaro Onaiwu, had told our correspondent on
Tuesday that the vice president would inaugurate the secretariat.
