Amaechi wins Nigeria Governors’ Forum election by 3 votes

After weeks of protracted leadership tussle and public expectation
that the Rivers state governor, Chibuike Amechi, may be pushed aside
as the Chairman of the Governor's Forum, he has again been re-elected
and returned as the chairman of the Forum.
He defeated his close rival, Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State by 3 votes.
The Governor won 19 votes from the 35 governors present, while his
Plateau State counterpart who is a late entrant to the keenly
contested position won just 16 votes.
DailyPost gathered that only governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo of
Gombe State was absent at the election.
