Aminu, who spoke in an exclusive interview with Sunday Vanguard, accused the governors of arrogating to themselves roles that were not in the Constitution thereby conferring illegal advantage on themselves to the detriment of majority of Nigerians.
.
The former minister pointed out that, apart from acting as a clog in the wheel of progress, governors had also constituted themselves into an army against the Nigerian people by destroying the local government system and their Houses of Assembly, which used to act as a check on the executive.
.
According to him, the governors now want to determine everything at the local, state and federal levels, thereby stripping the president of his statutory powers.
.
Describing the action of the governors as inimical to the progress of the nation, the professor of medicine asked well-meaning Nigerians to rise against "the malevolent attitude of the governors before they plunge the nation into avoidable chaos that could consume the country".
.
Aminu said: "The governors are against all of us and the president. They have organised to stop the government from doing what is right for this country. You can see that they have organised to stop anything functioning in Nigeria without them. This is what is happening.
.
"Governors are the ones imposing things on the rest of us. The problem with the governors is that they meet regularly and have their way by threatening the president that they would not support him for second term. You can't do that because it is wrong. They must realise and be told that as governors their first responsibility is to their states.
Stop Governors and Presidents before they ruin Nigeria should be the topic. Our Nigerian governors are not only the guilty ones....
