Imo: Why PDP governors stayed away from street protest

By Ibrahim Bakare

Fresh facts have emerged that not all the governors and the leaders of the people Democratic Party (PDP ) were in support of the street protest against the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of Nigeria, justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed, to seek the review of the judgement against ex-Governor of Imo State, Emeka ihedioha. Unknown to many, there was a split among the opposition governors on the desirability or otherwise of such an action.
The division became evident when it was realised that the PDP Governors forum did not issue a statement to mobilise party leaders and members to join the protest. Also, some south-south and south -east Governors pretended as if no protest was being staged.

A south -East governor was heard saying : “I cannot be a party to mudslinging against the judiciary. We warned some of those behind the protest to think of tomorrow.
