Governors Rotimi Amaechi, Adams Oshiomhole and Rochas Okorocha of Rivers, Edo and Imo States, respectively, have shunned the meeting of the South-East/South-South Governors’ Forum. The last time the group met in Enugu, the three governors were equally absent. Similarly, except the trio, the meeting held at the Enugu Government House on Sunday was attended by all the Governors in the two regions. Those in attendance were Governors Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, Martin Elechi- Ebonyi State, Peter Obi of Anambra State, Theodore Orji- Abia State, Emmanuel Uduaghan- Delta State, Godswill Akpabio- Akwa Ibom State, Liyel Imoke- Cross Rivers State and Bayelsa Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah. However, unlike Ohaneze Ndigbo, which had earlier in the day endorsed President Jonathan for a second term in office, the governors said the masses would decide Nigeria’s president in 2015. In a communique read after the meeting by the Cross River Governor, Liyel Imoke, the Governors stated that no group or individual would be allowed to usurp the wish of Nigerians.
