A delegation of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) met with Acting President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja. The delegation was led by fiery Lagos cleric and convener of the SNG, Pastor Tunde Bakare. He was accompanied by human rights attorney, Femi Falana, Salisu Lukman, AIT TV owner, Raymond Dokpesi, Buba Galadima, Hajia Jinatu Mohammed, former University of Benin SUG president, Mike Igini, Lawyer to Henry Okah, Wilson Ajunwa, CNPP spokesperson, Osita Okechukwu and DPA Lagos guber candidate Jimi Agabje. The details of the meeting remains sketchy but Saharareporters learned that the delegation, which had planned a major showdown for Abuja next week Wednesday, presented conditions to Jonathan that had been included in the text of a press conference in Abuja held earlier in the day.
Jonathan reportedly received the demands and promised to get back to the group. The **Acting President has been under pressure from Nigerians to seize the moment and take serious national initiatives without delay.
The same concerns were communicated to him by the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee he set up, and inaugurated in Abuja today. The chairman, Theophilus Danjuma, in his acceptance speech, stunned Jonathan when he admonished him to seize the moment, warning that if he fails to do so, he will lose public goodwill.
