Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state has emerged the consensus Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
This was the highlight of the peace meeting by the governors after the controversy that trailed the re-election of Governor Rotimi Amaechi as chairman of the forum in 2013.
The meeting, which was attended by governors on the platform of the All Progressive Congress and those of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, ended in Abuja at 3am on Tuesday, after series of negotiations by top politicians across party lines in the last two weeks.
The Forum called on the Minister of Finance to account for accrual to the country’s Excess Crude Account between June 2013 and April 2015 when funds were last disbursed
