WHATS THE MEANING OF THIS ADVICE BY GOV.AKPABIO TO MR PRESIDENT?????????? President Jonathan had initially invited all governors, including those of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the meeting to discuss new strategies for tackling the worsening crisis of attacks by Boko Haram. However, those close to the President, led by Governor Akpabio, prevailed on the President to exclude APC governors and meet only with the PDP and a few other loyal governors. Governor of Akwa Ibom was instrumental in making the president to rescind the invitation to the APC governors. Mr. Akpabio, who is also the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, urged the President to sack the three governors in the northeast whose states are most affected by the terror attacks and to declare a total state of emergency in the three states. The governors Mr. Akpabio wants sacked are Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, Ibrahim Geidam of Yobe State, and Kashim Shettima of Borno State. Mr. Akpabio told Mr. Jonathan that it would also be in the best interests of the party and the President if the governors were not in office by 2015 when elections would be conducted in the country.
