GOVERNOR JANG CHIDES GOVERNOR AMAECHI AS CHAIRMAN OF OPPOSITION GOVERNORS FORUM

Governor of Plateau State Jonah Jang

FACTIONAL chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang has chided Governor Chibuke Amaechi as working hands in gloves with opposition elements against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led Federal Government.

In a statement Governor Jang described Governor Amaechi as Chairman of the Opposition Governors’ Forum.

Jang statement followed the declaration by the Presidency that it only recognized the Jang-led faction of the forum.

Affirming that the NGF was originally formed for peer review among the states and to provide needed social and economic elevation to the Nigerian people, he said: “Instead, Governor Amaechi has turned his team into an opposition group. They are now obsessed with the presidency and the Federal Government.

Even the recent retreat they had, turned out to be like an anger management conference to vent against the Presidency and the Federal Government.

It should be recalled that the controversial governors forum election produced 19 vote for Ameachi and 16 votes for Jang, but the federal government and the ruling PDP seem to have pitched both parties against one another.
