Dr.Bukola Saraki,a presidential aspirant and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum is very bitter at the moment with Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State. Trouble started when Daniel was reportedly announced as the new Chairman of the powerful forum.The announcement, we gathered was done by Govenor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State.
Feelers show that Governor Saraki is ready to trade words with Governor Daniel because he viewed his (Saraki) purported removal as nothing but a political machinery set up against him by President Goodluck Jonathan, who is also aspiring to contest next presidential election.
Saraki said today that it is a politics of bitterness and its unwarranted. He noted that for anyone to become the Chairman of Governors Forum, it has to be a consensus issue.Governors must be well represented.
Some Governors such as comrade Adams Oshiomole of Edo State and Governor Shekarau of Kano State have dissociated themselves from the 'declaration' of Daniel as new Chairman of the forum. They have both issued a statement to the effect.
Political observers in Nigeria believe that Daniel, who is the South West co-ordinator of the Goodluck Jonathan campaign organization is being positioned as a true 'eye' of President Jonathan in the Governors Forum.
