President Jonathan to resist any pressure to interfere in the operations of the anti-graft agency. The G7 governors are currently on "a public celebration of opportunistic blackmail" to arm-twist the President to intervene in the on-going investigations of their tenures by the EFCC. The seven governors, now popularly called G7 includes: Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers). I can state for a fact that these governors who are mostly in their second term, apart from that of Kwara, are merely on a mission for personal economic preservation and selfish political opportunism. The governors should first purge themselves of the allegations against them with the EFCC before "they climb the rostrum to pontificate to Nigerians," It is now time for us to remove the smoke screen, stop the melodrama and present the facts behind their grandstanding. Enough of this political subterfuge. I call on Nigerians to support President Jonathan in building national institutions strong enough to fend off subterfuge blackmails or any form of negative pressure.
