But it was not all rosy for the G-7 governors as two of the governors -- Babangida Aliyu of NigerState and his Jigawa counterpart, Sule Lamido-- disagreed with the other five on timing of the defection. While Lamido stayed away from the meeting, Aliyu only showed up at the venue, met briefly with his counterparts and hurried out of the Kano Governor's Lodge, the venue of the meeting, before the communiqué announcing the merger of nPDP with APC, was read to the media.
