Q: CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR EXCELLENCY BECAUSE ONE YEAR AGO, YOU WERE<\/strong><\/em>
\nAPPOINTED CHAIRMAN, PDP GOVERNORS’ FORUM. WHAT ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE YOU<\/strong><\/em>
\nRECORDED DURING THIS PERIOD?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A: Thank you for reminding me that I was selected by my colleagues in the
\npresence of Mr. President, the National leadership of our great party,
\nmembers of the Board of Trustees, members of the National Working
\nCommittee, and all the Governors as the Chairman of PDP Governors Forum.
\nYou just reminded me that it happened on the 24th of February, 2013 and
\nthe forum is one-year old. I am the pioneer Chairman of that forum.<\/p>\n

You cannot talk about achievements as such because the Forum has no budget
\nand therefore cannot embark on capital projects. But the intention of the
\nforum was to reposition our party, to ensure peer review mechanism so that
\nthe PDP governors can learn from one another, compare notes and ensure
\nfull implementation of manifesto of the PDP. Of course, we should
\nguarantee food on the tables of Nigerians, dividends of democracy,
\ninfrastructure to all and sundry, give better education, better
\nhealth-care and general enhancement of the lives of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

I want to say that one year after, the forum has lived to it
\nresponsibilities allotted to the forum. We have been able to create a
\nsynergy between the members of our great party and national Assembly and
\nthen the Governors of the PDP. We have been able to get a better
\nunderstanding, a working relationship with Mr. President who is the leader
\nof the PDP. We have managed to work and understand each other now better.
\nWe held meeting with National Assembly- something that has never happened
\nbefore- the Working Committee, the PDP Governors, leadership of the
\nNational Assembly as well as members of the PDP in the National Assembly.
\nYou have seen that we have worked together to ensure a mini convention
\nthat repositions our party and brought in new hands to ensure the vibrancy
\nof the PDP and reposition the party to win in 2015 general elections.<\/p>\n

Despite the crack in the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, the PDP Governors\u2019
\nForum has remained steadfast, together and stable and is a major
\nstabilizing factor even for Nigerian Governors in general. We are very
\nhappy that that Forum has come to be. I have enjoyed robust cooperation
\nfrom my colleagues, the Governors of the PDP and I thank them so much for
\nreposing confidence in me and for always standing by me. A leader without
\nfollowership cannot claim to be a leader. I am so happy that my colleagues
\nare supporting me. Mr. President has stood behind me and the Working
\nCommittee of our party has been wonderful.<\/p>\n

How are we going to perform in 2015? So far we have sent jitters and
\nshivers to even the opposition party. They try to change names but that
\ncouldn’t work. The next thing they could do was to attempt a merger to see
\nif they can rival the PDP. It is not in the change of name, it is in the
\ncontent. PDP is the only national party in Nigeria. It does not belong to
\nanybody; it belongs to all Nigerians. Nobody can lay claims to PDP. We are
\nvery happy with the party and all Nigerians because this is the only party
\nthat has confidence in giving all Nigerians a sense of belonging. That is
\nwhy they could come to the South-South of Nigeria, a minority part to pick
\na President in the person of President Goodluck Jonathan. This shows that
\nNigerians are detribalised in nature. The idea of division only comes from
\npolitical leaders, who want to corner the wealth of the country.<\/p>\n

There is no division in the minds of Nigerians. Every Nigerian craves for
\ninfrastructure and good governance and the PDP is providing that. The
\nhumane nature of Mr. President gives attention to education. He grew up as
\nan ordinary Nigerian; he understands the educational system and he
\nunderstands the feelings of Nigerians that is why all of us are supporting
\nhim. In spite of the challenges, you can see that he is still focused on
\nensuring that the power sector works. Now we are seeing the privatization
\nof the power sector, we have seen a revolution in the agricultural sector,
\na lot of roads have been constructed and the railways have been
\nrevitalized. The President understands what is going on and that is why
\nNigerians are behind him and the PDP Governors are winning awards on a
\ndaily basis; man of the year, best Governor of the year, PDP Governor and
\nall that.<\/p>\n

We need to support the President; we need to focus on transforming this
\ncountry, not on ethnic and divisive things that the opposition is
\ndwelling. Propaganda can only sustain the opposition for a few months.
\nWhen the nitty gritty of the nation comes, you will know that PDP
\nGovernors are behind their President and PDP will deliver in all elections
\nin 2015.<\/p>\n

Q: IN ONE YEAR AS CHAIRMAN, PDP GOVERNORS’ FORUM, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR<\/strong><\/em>
\nGREATEST CHALLENGE AND PERHAPS REGRET?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A: I don\u2019t have regret. You can talk about challenges. The challenge is
\nthe idea of people thinking that the only way they can aspire is through
\nthe opposition. The loss of some of my colleagues who decided to defect to
\nopposition could be something that posed a lot of challenge because no
\nparty would like to lose a state Governor. But then what has happened is
\ndemocracy in action.<\/p>\n

The reality is that most of them, their deputies did not go with them and
\nover 90 per cent of their supporters say ‘no we are not going there’. Look
\nat the rally the party is doing everywhere \u2013 supporters have come out in
\nlarge number to say we are not going anywhere because this is the only
\nnational political party. Every person in this country craves for a sense
\nof belonging and it is only PDP that can give Nigerians that sense of
\nbelonging.<\/p>\n

So, the joy of it is yes the followers are still intact. The main
\nchallenge the Forum has been the issue of defection of those few
\nGovernors. You know doors are still open, we are hoping in the next few
\nmonths some of them will see the need to come back and join their kids and
\nkins because it is not easy to go and line up in another political party
\nwhen you had attained the level of a Governor.<\/p>\n

Somebody once wrote on newspaper that Godswill Akpabio is boasting that
\nPDP would win. Yes! PDP is not winning because we have magic wand; PDP is
\nwinning because of programmes. If you come to my State, you will see what
\nPDP administration in Akwa Ibom State has done and I have seen it in many
\nother states of the Federation not just in Akwa Ibom. Compare what the PDP
\ngovernors are doing in their various states with what the opposition
\nGovernors are doing and you will be amazed that PDP will win landslide in
\n2015. Look at also what the President is doing, forget the security
\nchallenges but in spite of that he remains focused. Transformation is
\nhappening everywhere. Look at the power sector, look at the airport, the
\nrailways are working again and the agriculture and these things were not
\nthere before. Over 300 Almajiri schools have been built in the North to
\ntake the children out of the street because the greatest asset you can
\ngive to your children is education.<\/p>\n

As a Forum, the PDP Governors\u2019 Forum is rotating its meeting. The last
\ntime we were at Katsina and next month we should be going to Niger State
\nand after Niger State, we go to another PDP State. We want to go round so
\nthat we compare notes and look at what the PDP Governors are doing, look
\nat areas of improvement and show that we have not only arrived but we have
\nbonded the PDP together \u2013 from the working committee to the President,
\nNational Assembly and to the Governors. I can tell you that together we
\nwill win.<\/p>\n

Q: IT IS SAID THAT AKWA IBOM PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN 1914 AMALGAMATION OF<\/em><\/strong>
\nNIGERIA, YET THE STATE IS EXCLUDED FROM THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION LIST.<\/em><\/strong>
\nWHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THIS?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: I have seen that we have Amalgamation House, which was built by Lord
\nLugard. And I understand he was living there. It is clearly written there-
\nthe Amalgamation House built in 1914. Well, I wasn’t there in 1914 so I
\nwouldn’t know if Amalgamation agreement was actually signed there. I think
\nhistorians have to do a lot of work. I don\u2019t know whether it was signed in
\nLokoja or whether it was signed in Ikot Abasi. At least, we have the
\nAmalgamation House, it is evident that that was where Lord Lugard decided
\nto build his Amalgamation House. I will invite the Office of the Secretary
\nto Government of the Federation to visit the Amalgamation House and try to
\ninclude it so that we can have a complete history.<\/p>\n

We should celebrate Nigeria for being together for 100 years and not
\nnecessary where the structures of amalgamation are located. I don\u2019t want
\nus to reduce the issue to where it was signed. If you look at it very
\nwell, there are people who even argued that Lord Lugard made a mistake by
\ncalling us Nigeria. People also insist that why must he bring us together,
\nwhy didn\u2019t he allow us to be two countries. The important thing is that we
\nshould celebrate the fact that 100 years after we are still together.<\/p>\n

Q: HUNDRED YEARS AFTER AS A COUNTRY, HOW WILL YOU ASSESS OUR JOURNEY SO FAR?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: A chequered history. We should learn from Egypt and the Nile River.
\nPeople from all over the world came together and lived there because the
\nland was fertile and the first civilization in the world was born from
\nthere. So, Nigeria in spite of our large size and differences (since we
\nare together), we have come together, we can make it work. My impression
\nof Nigeria is chequered history in the sense that if we had democracy all
\nalong without military intervention the country, we would have been
\nbetter.<\/p>\n

We have achieved a lot in the last 14 years than we did in 35 years of
\nmilitary rule. That is my opinion and now we have opportunity to build. We
\nshould look forward to the next 50 to 100 years- what would happen to
\nNigeria, we should start today. If we look backward, we will have regrets.
\nWe must go back to the basis; we must love one another, and every Nigerian
\nmust feel free in any part of this nation. We must de-emphasise tribe and
\nreligion, emphasise our \u2018Nigerianness\u2019 and give everybody equal
\nopportunity. We should promote our \u2018Nigerianess\u2019 and give everybody equal
\nopportunity from 2014.
\nQ: A LONDON-BASED NEWSAFRICA MAGAZINE HAS VOTED YOU AS MAN OF THE YEAR<\/em><\/strong>
\n2014. WHAT DOES THE AWARD PORTEND TO AKWA IBOM PEOPLE?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: I congratulate Akwa Ibom people for that and dedicate the award to
\nthem, particularly the children who never had hope but who today are in
\nschools especially those at the Divine Children Home, Uyo. I dedicate the
\nhonour to them because with free education policy and the policies of
\ngovernment today, tomorrow they have hope and can reach anywhere and
\nachieve anything in life in spite of the circumstances of their birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
