I didn’t promise one term – Jonathan cries out... Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi is to be recalled from suspension, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) source told The Nation yesterday. This is one of the four concessions made by President Goodluck Jonathan to the Group of Seven governors (G7) at a meeting on Sunday. But the President was said to have been adamant on 2015, insisting that he never said he would not seek re-election. He claimed that what he said in Ethiopia was that he would not be a party to tenure elongation. Despite the concessions, the G-7 governors and the Kawu Baraje-led New PDP are taking their case to the House of Representatives. They want to brief the leadership of the House on what led to the party’s factionalisation. According to sources, who spoke on the peace talks at the Presidential Villa, the meeting was “conciliatory”. One of the sources said: “For the first time, the meeting was conciliatory; there was no tension on all issues, unlike the case at the previous sessions.”
