GOVERNORS of the 36 states of the federation rose from an emergency meeting in Abuja on Monday with a resolution to engage consultant-investigator to participate in the probe of last Saturday’s helicopter crash that killed Kaduna State governor,
Patrick Yakowa, former National Security Adviser (NSA), General Owoye Azazi and four others.

The governors, under the auspices of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), also called on the Federal Government to ensure transparency and openness in the investigation of the crash. The governors said that the consultant they will hire will serve as an observer.

According to the NGF’s communique read by the chairman and Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, “Members support the directive of the president for a thorough investigation into the immediate and remote causes of the helicopter crash and calls for transparency and openness in the process.

“Forum further resolved to engage a consultant to participate in the investigation process or serve as an observer.”

President Goodluck Jonathan has already ordered a thorough investigation into the incident which occurred around Okoroba in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, while the naval chopper was ferrying the victims to Port Harcourt.

Others involved in  the crash were aides to the late governor and the former NSA, including Dauda Tsoho and Warrant Officer Mohammed Kamal, as well as the pilots, Commander Muritala Mohammed Daba  and Lt. Adeyemi  O. Sowole.

Amaechi, who revealed that the meeting deliberated on a number of other issues, said they also resolved to condole with the president, Vice-President Namadi Sambo, the government and people of Bayelsa and Kaduna states and the families of the victims of the crash.

Shey na now when dem see say dem wan dey die one by one naim deir body don dey hot to investigate and know if they can be touched or not. As for me, this act happened because of the religion of the deceased Governor. But this also shows that Nigeria's security sucks and those office Holders who believe that they r the alpha and omega can steal Nigeria money all they want. But should also realize that when something like this happen because of the lack of security that they have due to the fact that the same embezzled money was suppose to be used for good national security investment and not taken to the grave. Well, May God be with the family of those that lost their lives on that "Crash" and may the souls of the departed RIP... AMEN!!!
