Nigerian governors fighting me are not helping their states, Jonathan says President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday berated state governors who attacked his office publicly. The president said such attacks were not beneficial to the governors, nor their states. Speaking to a delegation of Anambra indigenes who paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday to inform him of the pending exit of the incumbent governor, Peter Obi, from office after his two term tenure, the president said a number of politicians were fund of abusing his office. He, however, did not mention any particular governor. “A number of politicians feel that the best thing to do is to be abusing Mr. President, abusing the Federal Government and so on. If you are elected to develop your state, I think the best thing is to have good relationship with the centre; whether you have a pin or you don’t have but one day it will come. Wearing boxing gloves, jumping into the boxing ring to face Mr. President does not help the development of any state.”
