THE National Chairman of the National Conscience Party (NCP), Dr YinusaTanko, yesterday castigated governors for the crisis in the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF).
He said it was regrettable they allowed the election of the Forum’s chairmanship on May 24 to create bad blood and heat up the polity.
Speaking yesterday at the NCP’s congress in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, Tanko opined that the governors should have held the integrity of democracy firmly during the exercise.
According to him: “They should go back and work together and desist from washing their dirty linen publicly.
“If 36 governors cannot amicably vote within themselves, what then should we expect from the general election in 2015?
“I believe the crisis is borne of out their greed for power and most of them are power mongers.”
Tanko argued that the NGF should not be controlled by an individual but serve as a pressure group to ensure the executive arm do the right thing.
