It would be recalled that seven aggrieved governors namely – Sule
Lamido (Jigawa), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Abdulafatah Ahmed (Kwara),
Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Aliyu Wammako (Sokoto), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers)
and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) broke away from the main party to form the
“new PDP” headed by Kawu Baraje during the party’s mini convention on
August 31.
One of the demands of the aggrieved group is that Jonathan should drop his ambition to contest the 2015 presidential election.
But speaking with State House correspondents over the Sunday night
meeting between President Jonathan and the aggrieved governors, Akpabio
said that the issue was dropped because ambition is a personal thing to
any aspirant.
He said: “That is why I said that the processes are on and of course
on the issue of 2015, both sides agreed that it wasn’t an issue for
discussion because every single person has a right to have ambition.”
“Some of the governors may have ambition like I have ambition to go
to Senate and you can’t discuss anything about another person’s
ambition. You are the only person that can discuss your own ambition.
Ambition is personal. So both parties agreed to that,” he added.
