Sen.
Jubril Aminu, on Tuesday described the Nigerian Governors' Forum as
strange and an instrument of oppressing the Federal Government and the
people.
Aminu made the remark at a media briefing, organised by the Adamawa Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders in Yola.
"It is very strange. I worked in many countries and have not seen anything like such a forum.
"The Governors’ Forum is what is used to oppress everybody, including the President", Aminu said.
He said the forum
always ensured that state governors had their way in everything,
including nominating who became an ambassador or member of the National
Assembly.
"I don’t know how
the forum came about in this country. And if it is not checked, it will
put the country in serious trouble, as the state chief executives unite
to challenge the Federal Government," Aminu said.
He called for the application of internal democracy in the running of the political parties.
He cautioned against
the politics of sentiments and stressed that the introduction of
sentiments in the nomination of candidates would bring about tyrants in
public office.
Aminu protested
against the intervention of Gov. Sule Lamido committee in the crisis in
Adamawa PDP and said he had no confidence in the choice of Lamido,
because of his relationship with Gov. Murtala Nyako of Adamawa.
