The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has called on the Federal Government to introduce a new revenue allocation formular that would give more money to states and local government councils.
The PDP governors said this in a communique issued after their meeting and read by the Forum’s Chairman, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, in Abuja on Thursday.
Mohammed said the opposition governors also reviewed the recent judgements 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.
Governor Mohammed stated that the meeting also reviewed the off-season election in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo states.
He expressed the governors’ support for the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) 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 Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom), Douye Diri (Bayelsa), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), the deputy governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ossai, the deputy governor of Osun State, Kola Adewusi, and the deputy governor of Zamfara State, Mani Mummuni.
