	Vanguard - Politics : TODAY'S PDP GUBER PRIMARIES: Aspirants jittery as axe falls on top contenders
		First, some governors, who had thought they were in full control of affairs in the state chapters of their party are being reminded that PDP is a party that is unitary in nature.
		To the average observer, a governor who seems not to be strong at home may be very strong at the national headquarters of the party and that is one of the flavours of the PDP and its almost debauch practice of party politics.
		A governor who is not strong at home but who has the ears of Abuja can as well go to sleep in the belief that whatever happens at the state level can and may be overturned in Abuja.

		The school of medical sciences at Benue State University built by the administration is a masterpiece, as is the multibillion-naira teaching hospital project in Makurdi.

		I guess that is what some state governors and university vice-chancellors in Nigeria have been saying in recent days - except that the subject matter is quality of governance and education in their states and universities rather than in Chemistry and in English.
		Haruna said some governors had taken the award philosophically, "particularly some of us who allowed ourselves to be visited, unlike governors in AD-controlled states who shut their doors to everybody because they knew the likely outcome of the media tour".
		Furthermore, it is interesting to note that all of the states that were awarded “Excellence in Education” medals were recently listed as part of the 26 “educationally disadvantaged” in Nigeria and hence in need of preferential treatment.

		While the governor wants his deputy to support the creation of the state of his choice-Orlu/Ijaba, the deputy is pushing for the creation of Etiti State, democratically and in accordance with the constitution of federal republic of Nigeria.
