PDP Governors Tasks FG on New Revenue Sharing Formula
The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum (PDP) has called on the Federal Government to introduce a new revenue allocation formula that would give more money to states and local government councils.
The forum said this in a communique issued after its meeting on Thursday in Abuja and read by its Chairman, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State.
Mohammed said that the opposition governors also reviewed the recent judgments of the Court of Appeal concerning governors of various states and noted the mixed outcomes.
“As a forum, we once again re-state our overall confidence in the judiciary to do justice.
“We believe that the Supreme Court will do justice in the cases where we recorded temporary setbacks like Zamfara and Plateau,” he said.
Mohammed said that the meeting also reviewed the off-season election in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo.
He expressed the governors’ support for the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) decision to investigate an allegation of the existence of pre-filled result sheets prior to the election in some polling units to ensure the confidence of the people in the electoral process.
Some of the governors at the meeting included Gov. Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom, Gov. Douye Diri of Bayelsa, Gov. Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau, the Deputy Governor of Enugu, Mr Ifeanyi Ossai, the Deputy Governor of Osun Mr Kola Adewusi and the Deputy Governor of Zamfara, Malam Mani Mummuni
