Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso yesterday alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan gave the 16 governors who voted for Plateau State governor Jonah Jang at last year’s Nigeria Governors’ Forum election N2 billion each.
According to him, while the 16 pro-Jang governors were financially gratified to do the presidency’s bidding, the other 19 governors who voted for Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi were left with nothing at all.
Kwankwaso stated this at a meeting between him and a team from the secretariat of the NGF on peer review mechanism led by the forum’s director-general, Mr Ashishana B. Okauru, at Government House, Kano.
The governor said, “Each of the 16 governors that voted Governor Jang has benefited from N2 billion from our own money given to them free of charge. All of us from Amaechi side were given nothing. That is not being fair, that is not even correct and it is illegal.”
