SECOND TERM, FIRST WAR: Dismantle the Governors’ Forum  By Sola Ajisafe, Esq. Mr. President, Yesterday APC members across Nigeria affirmed you as our candidate for 2027. Barring unforeseen shocks, the odds favour your return to Aso Rock. As of a fact, I have gone past thinking about the elections but about what you do when sworn in on May 29, 2027. But winning 2027 will mean nothing if you enter your second term still chained to the same structure that has sabotaged every reform since 2010, notably the amorphous, unaccountable Nigeria Governors’ Forum. If your first term was about removing fuel subsidy and unifying exchange rates, your second term must be about removing the governors’ stranglehold on Nigeria. Since the Jonathan era, the Forum has abandoned any pretence of peer learning or State development. It is now a cartel. A club of spoilt children with bloated egos, united only to protect their own interests against the Nigerian people. The record is clear. They bullied Jonath...
