Following the visitation of five northern governors; Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Aliyu Wamako (Sokoto), Musa Kwankwonso (Kano), Sule Lamido (Jigawa) and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) to former heads of states, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalam Abubakar, the presidency, CEOAFRICA gathered, has described those governors as agents of opposition.

Political Adviser to the President, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, according to sources, made this known in Abuja recently. He further warned them not to engage in acts capable of unduly heating up polity and distracting President Goodluck Jonathan from delivering on his promises to Nigerians.

According to Gulak, it was not the duty of the five governors to constitute themselves into a group to go round the country consulting with former leaders, since nobody commissioned them to do so. : “I can tell you that the five governors do not mean well for the party and the country. They are acting the script of some elements bent on distracting Mr. President and causing confusion where none exist,” he said.

Furthermore, Gulak states that the governors are pretending so that one of them would step in as president,”A discernible pattern from what the five governors are doing is that their grandstanding is not about a genuine concern to put things right in the country as they claim, but how to bring down President Jonathan so that one of them can step in. What I can assure them is that they are doomed to fail woefully because Nigerians know that they don’t have any genuine concern for the country.”

He states that Governors Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and Aliyu Wamako of Sokoto State are ingrates because they were welcomed by Peoples Democratic Party from their former All Nigeria’s Peoples Party, thereby creating a platform for them to win elections in their respective states.

Alh. Gulak concluded that PDP would remain strong despite forces working against the party, predicting that the party would win 2015 general election in grand style.
