Gulak stated- “President Jonathan has no reason to believe that Chief Obasanjo is behind the governors. Obasanjo is there as a father and as an elder statesman. That is the belief of the President. “The governors are mature enough. They can take decisions. The President won’t point accusing fingers at anybody. What we are concerned about is that these governors should concentrate on governance in their states and stop overheating the polity because we know that all these moves are about 2015 election. “On the declaration of the seats of lawmakers sympathetic to the splinter group vacant, the party has made a statement. The President is not the one running the party. Members of the party’s NWC are independent-minded people that have the mandate to run the party. “They should be allowed to run the affairs of the party. We will be running away from the fact if we say that the party cannot run its affairs. “I read about one of the conditions reportedly being given by the governors that the President should stop the EFCC from investigating them. How can the President stop the EFCC from doing its job? That is ridiculous, it is unheard of. The EFCC is independent, the President cannot do that. “What has peace moves got to do with EFCC? Agencies of government cannot be stopped from doing their work. Stopping EFCC means that the President can also stop the army, police, navy and others from doing their works. If that happens, what will people say? “It is not true that the President is not ready to discuss with Governor Amaechi. Peace move is all inclusive, depending on reasonable and acceptable terms"
