Nigeria: Sambo Hosts G84, Bamanga Says It's No Substitute for NEC

Vice President Namadi Sambo Thursday night met with a group of stakeholders of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), popularly known as G-84 at the Presidential Villa.

At the end of the meeting which lasted a little more than hour, the party's chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur did not disclose much to State House correspondents.

He jocularly waived aside questions put to him about whether or not the group was been cultivated by Aso Rock to upstage the governors of the party, many of who he has been having challenges in recent times.

Bamanga had two days before Thursday's meeting met with the same group at his residence and discussed the possibility of the assemblage supplanting the governors who are bonafide members of the National Executive Council (NEC), the highest decision making body of the party.
