THE footage of the recently conducted Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) election went viral on the Internet on Tuesday, as a steady trickle of people gradually gathered in their offices, homes and business centres to watch the video and even post it to friends and acquitances on Youtube, moments after it became popular online.Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, claimed he was recording the sequence of events, when a suspecting colleague asked to know what he was doing with his mobile phone.
The recording captured the momentous parts of the secret ballot which was noisy and disorderly. Nonetheless, at the end of the vote count by the Director General of the Forum, Mr Asishana Okauru, keenly supervised by Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State secured 19 votes to defeat his challenger, Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State, who polled 16 votes.
