Jang to Amaechi: Stop inciting people against FG

ABUJA—FACTIONAL Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF and governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, Wednesday took a swipe at the Rivers State governor, Chibuike Amaechi, over missing N8.5 trillion, alleging that the latter was inciting Nigerians against President Goodluck Jonathan and his government.

Jang, who described as frivolous and inciting the content of the communiqué issued by Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s led Governors’ forum, after its last week’s meeting in Abuja, accused Amaechi of seeking recognition.

According to him, some of the issues raised by Amaechi’s Governors Forum have already been debated and discredited and, “therefore lacked credibility.”

It will be recalled that Nigeria Governors Forum, led by Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, had  at its  meeting urged the National Assembly to urgently institute a comprehensive independent forensic audit by an international reputable firm into the alleged missing $49.8 billion (N8.5 trillion), equivalent of two years of the national budget.
