Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - RE: I was agent to both NGF Candidates ...[Governor Uduaghan of Delta]

What is so important about this election?

A staging post or platform for gaining the Presidency?

The first time Nigerian governors are coming together under one body?

thanks

My People:

So Governor Uduaghan was "agent to both candidates" of the NGF election?

So who did he vote for ojare?

This election gets curiouser and curiouser....no wonder Governor Fayemi may have been confused as to who was Returning Officer between Uduaghan and AB Okauru....they were working closely with each other, checking ballots, abi.....

And there you have it...

Fayemi lied, I was not returning officer for NGF election - Uduaghan Posted By: Anon Sun May 26, 2013 4:43 pm  | Options

Fayemi lied, I was not returning officer for NGF election - Uduaghan The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has faulted the position of the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, that he (Uduaghan) was the Returning Officer during the now controversial Nigeria Governors' Forum election. Uduaghan said contrary to Fayemi's claim in a statement issued on Sunday, it was the Director General of the NGF, Asishana Bayo Okauru, who was the Returning Officer. He said in a telephone interview: "I wouldn't know why Governor Fayemi will come out publicly to say what is not true." Uduaghan said what he offered to do was to be the agent of the two candidates for the election - Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and Jonah Jang of Plateau State. He added: "This was after a demand was made for four persons to serve as agents of the two candidates and no one offered to do so. "So I offered myself as the agent of both candidates. "I was not the Returning Officer for the election as claimed by Fayemi but acted as agents of both candidates for the election." Asked if he had contacted Fayemi on the issue, Uduaghan said: "I have been calling his mobile telephone but he has not picked."
