Nigeria’s former president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has revealed that he is unhappy with the division among Nigerian governors, urging them to unite and solve the country’s challenges instead of creating factions. Jonathan made these remarks during the celebration of the 50th birthday of President of the Rock of Ages Christian Assembly, Apostle Charles Osazuwa.
The former president opined that Northern and Southern governors should unite and dialogue to solve the present challenges confronting Nigeria.
Governors themselves should continue to meet, I don’t really love a situation where the northern governors will meet then the southern governors will cry foul.Then the southern governors will meet then the northern governors will cry foul, that will not help our country.The governors, through the governors’ fora should meet, they are the people who run this country, the president is just one person in Abuja. So if the governors of the states meet to dialogue and interrogate things that are good for this country, then we will move forward. I don’t really enjoy the antagonism between governors, they should come together and discuss. If there are issues that are affecting one or two states, I think the governors should see how they can collectively come with a way to address those issues
