Barely 72 hours after four of their counterparts from the Peoples Democratic Party were booed and pelted with stones and other missiles at the Port Harcourt Airport, eight Governors in the All Progressives Congress camp on Thursday paid a solidarity visit to Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State following the political crisis that has plagued the state for some time now.
The governors advised Gov Amaechi to personally visit President Goodluck Jonathan and brief him of the poor security situation in the state.
The governors are: Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti; Babatunde Fashola, Lagos; Ibukunle Amosu, Ogun; Rauf Aregbesola, Osun; and Abiola Ajumobi, Oyo State. Deputy governors of Imo, Nassarawa and Zamfara states, represented their governors.
They met with Amaechi in a closed-door, while their spokesman, Fayemi, told newsmen that their mission was to stress the importance of their concern for the security of Rivers.Eight-governors
Fayemi said that the issue of security in the country was “far more of a major concern’’ to Nigerians. According to him, we have met with our brother and chairman of our forum in an extensive discussion and he has briefed us on the situation on ground here.
