Nigerian Governors Forum Crisis Deepens As 13 Governors Threaten To Pull Out Of The Forum.

The division among the ranks of Nigerian governors under the aegis of the Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) appeared to have widened at the weekend, as no fewer than 13 governors have alleged that the last meeting of the forum was staged to scheme them out.
Sources close to the forum told the Sunday Tribune in Abuja that some of the governors were aggrieved over the manner in which the last meeting, which held on Wednesday, February 19, was called.
A governor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the invitation was selectively sent out to members and that some of the members, especially those that had opposed certain positions of the leadership, were not invited.
It was learnt that 13 of the governors, who share the same position, had already tabled their "minimal demand" before the leadership of the NGF with a threat that they could be forced to pull out of the forum if its leadership continued in its refusal to adopt democratic tenets.
The governor told the Sunday Tribune: "We were selectively invited to the last NGF meeting. And when we made enquiries at the  secretariat, they claimed they sent out invitations to all members.
