The trumpets are getting louder and the stakes are getting higher
daily as the 2015 general elections draw near. In a clear indication
that it will not be an easy ride come 2015, the opposition All
Progressives Congress governors today boycotted the Council of State
meeting convened by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Also absent were two other prominent members of the party, former head of state, Mohammadu Buhari and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal.
As at the time the meeting started at 11.30, only PDP governors were in the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
However, former Presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo; Shehu Shagari; former
Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.); former Head of the Interim
National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan; and the President of the
Senate, David Mark, were also in attendance.
The meeting was convened by the president to discuss the deteriorating security situation in the country.
The Council of State has the President and the Vice President as
Chairman and Deputy Chairman respectively, while all past Presidents and
Heads of Governments, former Chief Justices of Nigeria; Senate
President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, all state governors
and the Attorney-General of the Federation are members.
