G-5 Governors: ‘Obasanjo Knows About Jonathan’s One-term Pact. The five northern states’ governors opposed to the alleged plan by President Goodluck Jonathan to run for another term in 2015 have said that former president Olusegun Obasanjo was aware that the incumbent Nigerian leader agreed to serve for one term. The governors who are elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have therefore challenged Obasanjo to speak out on the matter, insisting that Jonathan in 2011 had a pact with the north not to seek re- election after his first term in office. The governors are Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto) and Muazu Babangida Aliyu (Niger). Since they insisted on the removal of the PDP national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, from office to pave way for peace in the party, the governors have been having a running battle with President Jonathan.
