Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today called for devolution of power and comprehensive restructuring of the country. According to a communique jointly signed by members of the PDP Governor’s Forum, the call became pertinent seeing that Nigerians have now been sharply divided along lines of ethnic and religious biases.

Chairman of the forum and governor of Sokoto State, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal briefing journalists at the government house Makurdi, the Benue state capital after a five hours-long closed-door meeting said insecurity and the value of human life have greatly degenerated under the watch of the APC led government.
