He said: “The current disagreement between southern and northern governors over power shifts leading to uncomplimentary remarks against each other is unfortunate that must quickly stop to allow for peace to reign.
“The current tussles between the governors must not be something that will be celebrated but as an unfortunate development that should immediately stop”.
Ganduje called on the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Kayode Fayemi, to quickly convene a meeting to resolve the unfortunate scenario which according to him is capable of birthing more problems than cure.
Governor Ganduje, who praised the founding fathers of Nigeria in Tafawa Balewa, Sardauna of Sokoto, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr Nmadi Azekwe, Mallam Aminu Kano and host of others for keeping Nigeria one, said their strive should be imitated not the other ways.
