GOVERNORS of the six South-South states are, at the moment, unable to hold a meeting to take a joint decision on the setting up of a regional security outfit like the South West Security Network, ‘Amotekun’ launched, last week, by South-West Governors to enhance security in the region, Vanguard investigation has revealed.

Sources told Vanguard that the major reason the governors could not meet is the raging feud between the Chairman, South-South Governors Forum and Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson and his Rivers State counterpart, Governor Nyesom Wike.

It has been difficult for other South-South governors to take sides because of the personalities involved. Governor Wike refused the mediation of the national leadership of his party.
