Four governors, Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Sule Lamido
(Jigawa), Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso (Kano) and Aliyu Wamako (Sokoto), visited
former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abekuta on Saturday.
Today they are expected to team up with their host
governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu to meet with Generals Babangida and
Abdulsalami.
Niger State government spokesman Danladi Ndayebo
confirmed that some governors will be visiting the state but did not give
details or the purpose of the visit.
But a source that follows events on the national
political scene said the visit is not unconnected with plans about 2015 general
elections.
President Goodluck Jonathan himself visited former
President Obasanjo in Abeokuta weekend. His visit is seen as an effort to mend
fences with former leader who has for long kept away from party and government
activities.
The four governors also visited Obasanjo same day. Their
visit came minutes apart with that of Mr. Jonathan, but they took pains to
avoid each other even though they belong to the same ruling party.
Man governors in the ruling PDP want to stop President
Jonathan from running again in the election insisting he must abide by an
agreement he had signed in 2011 not to stand for election this time around.
The President’s aides, however, have insisted no such
agreement exists. The President himself last year said he would announce in
2014 whether or not he will run for reelection.
