Jonathan’s Aide Begs Amaechi Secretly To “Understand” With Jonathan AMAECHI...

While President Goodluck Jonathan’s political adviser, Dr Ahmed Gulak was talking tough and daring Governor Rotimi Amaechi to go and join the APC if he wants, insider sources have revealed that the president is not ready to lose Amaechi and other G-7 governors to the APC. Already, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki has commenced a secret move off the grid to in any way possible bring Amaechi back to the side of President Jonathan.
Below is what a top insider in Abuja told The Nation:
“As a matter of fact, Dasuki’s initial intervention accounted for the first phase of the peace talks between the President and the G-7 governors. You will recall that the initial talks recorded some progress because it enabled the governors to table their demands.
“But the likely collapse of peace talks made the NSA to meet with the governors individually to avoid any breakdown of law and order in the affected seven states and the spiral effect on other states.
“So far, the NSA has had fruitful discussions with the governors… Dasuki has been doing a lot of underground work towards ensuring political and social stability in the polity without drawing attention to his efforts.”
Anyway, Governor Amaechi and other G-7 governors are insisting on their demands. The demands are:
• The sack of a factional National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga
• Return of party structure to governors in Adamawa, Rivers, Kano, and other states
• Sticking to one-term tenure by the President by foregoing re-election in 2015
• Resolution of NGF and Rivers crises, including the lifting of suspension of Governor Rotimi Amaechi
• Stopping harassment of governors by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
But it seems Jonathan is still scared of the governors antics, hence he doesn’t want to hand over party structures in their respective states to them yet.
