Following security concerns raised by Murtala Nyako, the Governor of Adamawa State in a letter dated 16 April, the Northern Governors’ Forum, NGF, has decided to meet for deliberations this Thursday.

 In the letter, Nyako claimed that President Jonathan’s administration “is bent on bringing wars in the North between Muslims and Christians and within them and between one ethnic group and another or others in various communities in the region.”

But Dr. Babangida Aliyu, the Chairman of NGF and Niger State Governor, said on Monday that “The forum is now in receipt of Nyako’s memo and would look at the concerns raised by Admiral Nyako.

“With a view to addressing the issues, the forum will discuss the memorandum submitted to it by Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, where he raised several concerns about the insurgency in the North.”

But Dr. Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, stated over the weekend that Nyako’s letter was a sad betrayal of trust by a major beneficiary of the Nigerian nation.
